CRAFT YOUR SCORE WITH WORLD-CLASS PLAYERS

Now at the tips of your fingers is the most versatile horn section in the world, MOJO: Horn Section, which offers the most flexible and innovative approach to pop, funk, jazz, and big band horns ever created in a virtual instrument.

Pushing the boundaries of sampling and scripting technology far beyond traditional sample libraries, MOJO offers a simple but feature-packed interface. No need to decide in advance which articulation you want to play. Simply load the instrument, turn the Ensemble knob to specify how many players you want playing that instrument (from a soloist to a dectet) and begin controlling the instrument from the keyboard.More than a dozen articulations are instantly loaded and intelligently handled via performance features and keyswitches. Behind the scenes, a humanizing function, smart release layers, and custom legato and vibrato tools assist the player in reproducing the ultimate dimensions in realism. Crescendos and swells sync instantly to host tempos and can be triggered in real time.

Included in the instrument collection are: soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, trumpet (open, muted, and piccolo), flugelhorn, trombone (open and muted), bass trombone, and clarinet. The articulation list varies for each instrument, but generally includes sustains, stabs, staccatos, trills, slurs, shakes, octave runs, rise to hits, falls (including four different lengths), doits, bends, stylistic riffs, special effects, and tempo-synced swells and crescendos. All samples are recorded in 24-bit stereo using the finest preamps in the world, including a vintage Neve 1073 and a LaChapell Audio 992EG, and mics by AKG, Neumann, and Coles.

ENGINE

MOJO’s main screen shows the most important and central functions of MOJO, such as the players (adjustable from 1 to 10), playing mode (poly, mono, or legato), access to several submenus via the Setup menu, and an onscreen display of the currently selected articulation and release articulation, including what keyswitch was used to trigger that articulation.

Clicking on the Setup menu from the main screen allows access to many fine-grained controls over vibrato, section behavior, pitch bend behavior, releases, tempo-syncing of swells and crescendos, legato mode, and overall instrument parameters such as punch, character, and humanizing.

EFFECTS

The Effects page offers access to ten individual effects which can be added to any instrument: EZRoom, equalization, compression, saturation, distortion, chorus, reverb, delay, stereo width control, and a limiter.

KEYSWITCHES

The Keyswitch page allows the user to customize each keyswitch in MOJO via an easy-to-use MIDI Learn button.
