VGTrumpet has released VG Oboe, a virtual instrument built around three oboe voices: a jazz oboe, seldom found in sampled form, a symphonic oboe, and a four-oboe section. All three load at once into independent layers and can be blended in real time, available as a VST/AU plugin and standalone app.
Features
- A performance-focused oboe designed for wind controllers, breath controllers, and expressive MIDI keyboards.
- Three oboe sound sets, loaded simultaneously across three independent layers: Oboe Jazz 1, Oboe Symphonic 1, and Oboe Section x4.
- No Kontakt, no sampler and no other software required. VG Oboe is a self-contained plugin and standalone application.
- Works with Windows and Mac as a standalone and runs as a plugin in all major DAWs (Cubase, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Reaper, FL Studio etc.) as VST/VST3/AU.
- Compatible with breath controllers (AirMotion, TEControl, MRTAudio), wind controllers (AKAI EWI4000s, EWI5000, Solo, Roland Aerophone AE-10, AE-20, Pro AE-30, Yamaha WX, Yamaha YDS, Berglund NuEVI, NuRad, EMEO, Robkoo R1, Clarii mini, Greaten AP-500 Pro, DigiBrass Tilt, Tipsy etc.), and MIDI keyboard controllers.
