ILIO Memphis Horns (AKAI S1000 - S6000)

The Memphis Horns may well be the most recorded brass section of all time. Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love have dominated the Rock, Soul and Funk scene since the 60’s and to this day are offering up their distinctive multi-tracked sound on tons of Billboard™ hits. Their list of Gold and Platinum records is impressive: Respect by Aretha Franklin, Dock of the Bayby Otis Redding, Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel, Angel of Harlem by U2, and hundreds more. Fortunately for us, these hugely successful artists have seen fit to lend their rare talents to create a phrase-based brass collection of mythic proportions. If you want their amazing Trumpet, Trombone, Bari and Tenor sound in your tracks, you’ve got to get the Memphis Horns CD-ROM.

This multi-disc library delivers hundreds of phrases in multiple keys and tempos. The phrases are presented both in their original complete form, and divided into flexible short phrases so you can easily integrate them any way you like. Styles range from Slow Soul and Passionate Pop, to Furious Funk. Tapping decades of experience with the music industry’s top producers and recording artists, Wayne and Andrew carefully wrote and performed the arrangements to be authentic in style and flexible in usability.

The Memphis Horns CD-ROM includes phrases ranging in tempo from 70 to 140 BPM, each in five harmonically related keys.
