Sound and Character of the Shell Horn Samples
The instrument is built around a single shell horn with a C base tone. Sounds of the Earth says the shell captures the natural acoustics of its place of origin, the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica's Pacific coast.
The library's 447 Kontakt sample files give you a broad set of articulations and notes to play across the keyboard. The eight microphone options let you shape the recording's perspective and tonal balance, which is useful when you need the horn to sit differently in a mix.
Because the source is a natural shell, the character leans toward organic percussive and wind-like textures rather than synthetic tones.
