says:
"Fable
Sounds presents a virtual instrument package featuring amazingly realistic
brass. You truly won't believe your ears when you hear how lifelike the
samples are; the range of inflection and textural variation is as close
to the real thing as it gets without having a horn player in the room
with you. That may sound like a shameless plug for Fable Sounds, all we
at Gearwire do is urge you to hear it for yourself. Once upon a time,
brass samples were very hard to create with any kind of authenticity,
but this product raises the bar rather high."

And concludes that “Fable Sounds has produced the most thoroughly playable set of pop horn samples ever brought to market.“ and “In a cluttered field, this library has raised the bar and immediately takes its place as a standard against which future products of its kind will be measured.”

The review concludes that it has“all the styles and attitude required for a pop / rock / R&B brass section” and that “Once you've mastered its keyswitching techniques, the musical possibilities are endless.”
