Advanced Legato Claire English Horn Virtuoso is based on a highly intuitive, playable and expressive legato system. We sampled a variety of different types of expressive arcs that are all connected to the legato system, so you can go between sustain types that are gentle (p-mp) to strong (f-ff) or sustain types with less or more vibrato.
Introducing the 8Dio Claire Virtuoso Woodwind series produced by Emmy Nominated Composer, Colin O’Malley. The Claire Woodwind Series is a deep-sampled collection of the finest virtuoso woodwind soloists ever recorded. These are highly playable instruments soared with true emotion, and effortless behavior.
The Claire English Horn Virtuoso is the most expressive, playable and lifelike English Horn (aka Cor Anglais) ever sampled. The English Horn Virtuoso was recorded in a symphonic hall and contains three microphone positions (Close, Decca, Far). The core of the Clarinet is its highly advanced legato system, which contains both slow and fast legato. The legato system allows you to play legato with passionate arcs, sustains, staccatissimo, expressive marcatos etc. 8Dio recorded arcs with both non-vibrato, medium and strong vibrato, so you can freely sculpt your performance from the subtle to vibrant. In addition, there's also trills, runs, staccatissimo and even non-tonal effects like breaths, valve sounds and natural click noises etc.

High Definition (96Khz)
Claire English Horn Virtuoso contains three microphone positions (Close, Decca, Wide) and everything was sampled at 96kHz, which provides an unprecedented detail in the sound and reveal details that would otherwise have been lost at lower resolutions. The fidelity of the library is especially revealing once you start combining the microphones and hear the warmth of the instrument, reflections of the room, the air and all the tiny, little details so often missed.
