This Studio Contrabass Tuba from Vienna Symphonic Library is a virtual instrument library that features a full set of expressive and dynamic articulations. Owing to its extreme range, the contrabass tuba is a cornerstone of orchestral music. Providing rhythmic depth, it is also able to shine as a solo instrument. With a powerful low end, the contrabass has an unmatched resonance.
Samples are recorded both muted and unmuted. The samples are recorded dry, which allows you to place them in your virtual stage and anywhere in the stereo field, or use the internal convolution reverb of the Synchron Series to recreate the Vienna Synchron Stage.
