Echoes of the Past, Perfected for Today

Embark on a journey through time and rediscover the unique and rare sounds of historical wind instruments. Featuring natural horns, the traverso flute, the serpent, crumhorns, and many more, this comprehensive collection is designed for those seeking to capture the authentic character of centuries-old music. But these instruments are not limited to scoring period dramas – their unmistakable timbres, which once filled ancient halls, offer surprising nuances in contemporary projects as well. These musical rarities, often hard to find, are now at your fingertips in an easy-to-use collection that bridges the past and present. Each note resonates with the spirit of bygone eras, enveloping the listener in a world of noble elegance and ancient beauty – an effect you can increase by gradually adding the stellar, Vienna MIR Pro-derived convolution reverb that’s part of this collection.

Studio Natural Brass

  • This treasure trove of carefully preserved and irreplaceable instruments that were used 300 to 500 years ago offers an unconventional approach to wind instruments. It includes all the separately available Single Packs with instruments from the Renaissance and Baroque eras. These authentic recreations capture the tones that inspired composers like Bach, Händel, Haydn, and Mozart to create their masterworks. Many of these instruments are very hard to play and require not only great skill, but also a lot of practice and effort from the player – sometimes it’s extraordinarily difficult to produce a stable, centered tone. With these virtual instruments, you’ll reap the benefits of their unique tonal colors without having to worry about the challenges of performance.
