Overview

An extraordinary, comprehensive collection of mallet instruments.

The Vienna Symphonic Library Horizon Series Mallets features exquisite instruments played by accomplished musicians, a wealth of expression and articulations with thousands of samples, and meticulous state-of-the-art recording quality.

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. Its extensive articulations include a variety of single strokes played with up to 6 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 (2 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 5 wood blocks, both instruments played with 4 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, for example.
