Yes I have owned Broadway Big Band since it came out in the Halion version and got the free upgrade to the Kontakt version of Broadway Big Band. I also own the Native Instruments Session Horns and I must say BBB blows it away. No pun intended. The newest 2.0 update of BBB has the ability to split notes to different horns in real time. I still like to do them separately though for complete control. Even with separate tracks of the horns I will arm and monitor all tracks to play and record unison lines that are still separated for faster results. This horn collection is oozing with personallity and is great on jazz, funk, soul, r and b, hip hop and rock. I personally could not live without this collection. I personally like to setup each player inside Vienna MIR in the ORF Studio 2 room from the center mic position with the players positioned in a semi-circle facing the mic. MIR really brings them together! All of the BBB instruments are recorded with up to 6 different mics... So you can accomplish sounds that fit with stage or studio sounds. PA mics, condensor, room mics, etc So many articulations that are all playable from one patch. Very easy to get used to, and very expressive. Highly recommend!!

Do you have the full version or the Lite version?  The full version is really pricey although it does sound good from what I can tell.

I own the full library. You get what you pay for. 😄

Sessions Horns Pro from NI is better than Session Horns (standard), it goes on sale from time to time, and that's how I got it. Very nice. Some folks like Chris Hein Horns compact, as well, but I've never tried it.

Korg has a vst of the M1 synth with lots of horns and strings to stack.

At $49.00 USD, seems like a worthwhile addition to the stable.  https://www.kvraudio.com/product/m1-by-korg

Thank you sir!
