MOJO: Horn SectionNow 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. Inspired by legendary groups like
Tower of Power and the big bands of decades past, MOJO is capable of
emulating everything from a sultry sax solo to a screaming full big band
playing at the top of their lungs. Overview
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. Reviews: "The star of Mojo Hon Collection is the collection of big, rich, brassy sounds. The sampling is spot on, and the playability is exemplary. And while I'm sure many users would be happy just to dial up presets and play, there's also a hidden world inside MHS where you can tweak the sound in multiple ways." - Craig Anderton "...there's no doubting that Mojo is one of the best horn instruments available." – Computer Music (Rating: 9/10)
MOJO is powered by the popular Kontakt engine, offering total integration into all major sequencers via its AudioUnit, VST, and RTAS plug-ins, as well as standalone. Registered owners of MOJO are eligible for a discounted crossgrade to the full version of Kontakt, which is a full-fledged sampler capable of importing, editing, and creating other sample libraries, in addition to playing MOJO and other Vir2 products. Full details are available on the Kontakt 3 crossgrade page on the Native Instruments site.

Description
At the heart of MOJO are twelve core instruments: Trumpet, Trombone,
Trumpet Muted, Trombone Muted, Piccolo Trumpet, Bass Trombone, Soprano
Sax, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Bari Sax, Clarinet, and Flugelhorn. Using MOJO
is as simple as deciding which instrument to load. Solo and ensemble
playing is built into each individual core patch, as are all
articulations and release types. MOJO makes it as easy and
straightforward as possible to begin playing without having to make too
many decisions or sifting through dozens of patches. When any of the
twelve core instruments are loaded, this interface is displayed.
In addition to the twelve core instruments discussed above, MOJO includes prerecorded riffs and special effects.

The tenor is arguably the most popular and well-recognized saxophone of our day, along with the more soft-spoken alto. In saxophone quartets, the tenor regularly plays the most prominent role due to its distinct tone. Saxophones are widely popular instruments both as soloists and sections, used in everything from jazz, blues and big band, to popular and orchestral music. Famous for their breathy, intimate singing tone, beautifully reproduced by WIVI. Includes: |

Mibac is a program that produces very authentic sequences, and does so much more quickly than one could enter the parts with a MlDl keyboard and sequencer. It seems to be specifically designed for the improviser lacking in keyboard proficiency, making it possible for an instrumentalist or vocalist to work on the changes to any tune without the need for a rhythm section or a play along record. It also allows those creating their own jazz compositions to hear the rhythm section play the changes in a stylistic manner. The manual is well-written and contains an excellent tutorial that takes the user through virtually all the features of the program... the transpose function is excellent and will be a time saver for instructors.) The ability to customize rhythm-section backgrounds will be helpful to individual students at any level of improvisation ability, and will be especially helpful to teachers, both in private studios and in the classroom, who want to provide accompaniment tapes for their students ...Downbeat Magazine If you're into jazz, you'll like MiBAC Jazz...it does what it does better than anything else! Chords are entered into a
lead sheet, and the program generates music based on the selected
musical style. MiBAC Jazz concentrates all its energies on one type of
music: jazz. Not surprisingly then, MiBAC Jazz produces convincing
results in various jazz styles. These include Jazz 4/4, Jazz 3/4, Slow 4
(l2/8 feel), and Latin, each with different grooves that change
according to the tempo. For example, MiBAC Jazz's "piano
player" comps quite differently in a burnin' bebop tune than in a
medium swing tune. It is intended to be used as your own personal
jazz rhythm section for practicing improvisation, but it may be useful
as a composition/lead sheet-creation tool as well... Electronic
Musician MiBAC Jazz is an excellent example of software that targets a specific musical problem-jazz improvisation... How does it sound? The rhythm section sounds real - not a mechanical drum machine feel. You can tailor your drummer to suit your own tastes...considering the well-thought-out manual, excellent musical feel, printing and chord options, this is a wonderful tool for developing jazz improvisational skills. Nice work!....American Music Teacher MiBAC represents a breakthrough in jazz sure to have an impact on this and future generations of musicians!... David N. Baker, Indiana University
