Alternatively, you can use the ‘ Animator’ to play rhythmic patterns while you hold down solid chords. It’s the ability to finagle horn (or strings) parts in your musical project by using intelligently composed, predefined phrases – minus the muss n’ fuss of creating said musical parts by one’s self.

In essence, the ‘ Animator’ is to e-Instrument’s Kontakt libraries what Toontrack’s song constructor is to their EZdrummer line. All of these sample libraries were very good sonically, but what really helped them stand out from the crowd were their unique ‘ Animator’ features. As noted above, the Strings and Horns libraries were sold directly by Native Instruments. “Session Strings Pro” followed about a year after “Session Horns” rounded the corner of succession in 2013, and its “Pro” big brother came along a number of months later still.

I first heard of Germany’s e-Instruments in 2010, shortly after the company had debuted their unique, niche-carving sample library, “Session Strings”. Even though the current exchange rate of USD to CAD (at the time of this publication) would result in an amount of $105 (CAD), for some reason e-Instruments’ online store charges a hefty $129 (CAD). If at all possible, I do recommend that Canadian customers purchase using US funds. Each one costs but $79 (USD) / €79 apiece. Enticingly so, their commendable “Session Keys” series of electric pianos are very fairly priced. It’s fair to say that e-Instruments have certainly proven themselves to be top-tier sampling experts since 2010, weaving a pedigree of interest and notability. As a matter of fact, it’s because of the company’s partnership with Native Instruments that e-Instruments gained ground as a relatively new developer at that time. In fairness to software giant, “Native Instruments”, the aforementioned strings & horns libraries’ product pages do cite e-Instruments as the actual creators. You can also play each instrument solo with ultimate realism.For those who might be acquainted with “Session Horns (Pro)” and “Session Strings (Pro)” - badged as Native Instruments products – e-Instruments’ self-branded “Session Keys” series of highly playable electric pianos will not come across as unheard-of- strangers. Or customize your horn section with up to six instruments split into four voices. 38 pre-arranged section presets for all popular styles get you started right.
