- All of the elements of a professional and comprehensive
mallet library have been gathered to create this extraordinary collection. Exquisite
instruments, played by accomplished, internationally renowned musicians, a wealth of
expression and articulations with thousands of samples, and last but not least, meticulous
state-of-the-art recording quality have brought this volume to life.
The Horizon Series' Mallets collection features all of the mallet instruments from the
Vienna Symphonic Library Pro Edition as well as temple blocks and wood blocks. It is the
largest and most comprehensive library for mallet instruments ever created: Its extensive
articulations include a variety of single strokes played with up to six different mallets,
tremolos, chord tremolos and glissandos for every instrument as well as loads of special
effects like bowed notes (vibraphone, marimba), notes played with a superball, rubber,
fingernails (marimba), cluster mallets (xylophone) and more.
Celesta articulations include staccatos and long notes (two different lengths), as well as
soft attack variations for a truly delicate and ethereal sound!
The collection also contains temple blocks (chromatically sampled from C3 - F4) and five
wood blocks, both instruments played with four different mallets for colorful and subtle
sound variations. These instruments are frequently used for special effects - imitating
the clatter of horse hooves, or champagne bottles popping open.
