Hi. The Session Horns key switches at c0 (or basically lowest C you can
reach after octave-shifting) should help.
If you don't care for Session Horns, try ProjectSAM Swing! And Swing More
libraries, which may offer better Jazz sounds anyway.
Personally, I think they do, and they play nicer in my opinion. I own both.
Not relevant to this list however.

Subject: RE: QWS List Session Horns alternative:
Is there any way to drop these in using any kind of MIDI data? If so then
all you need to do is save them to a file and open the file to copy and
paste (in the main file) the articulation. Things like shakes, flutter
tounging, doits, and even falls should be rare enough this shouldn't be too
much of a headache to drop them in every once in a while. But more to the
point, if there's no way to designate these articulations through MIDI,
Music XML, or other notation friendly formats then it's going to be
impossible to have these in the parts so horn players can play them. And
anything using program change is going to be opaque to notation programs
too, which would rule out the keyboards you mentioned. None of this matters
if you're going to not use real horns.
The other important consideration is that the shakes are different between
trumpets and trombones/saxophones. Trumpet shakes tend to be more volume
based than pitch based, while trombone shakes are 100% pitch, and sax shakes
can involve either variation depending on what the section leader decides.
So if you're going for a realistic performance the sound source needs to
take the different performance methods into consideration. Note also that
back when I was playing in jazz ensembles we tended to strike out these
types of articulations instead of playing them, because they can clutter
things up a lot.

Subject: QWS List Session Horns alternative:
Hello all.
Subject says it all. I am thoroughly disappointed with session horns pro, as
while it is somewhat KK accessible, there appears to be no way to access
the additional articulations that are supposed to be available, But that
are, stupidly enough, not included in any of the presets, for example
brass shakes. I did some searching online to see if I could figure out how
to access these articulation, but it appears you cannot do so without using
the stupid mouse, and being blind I cannot do that. Does anybody know of any
workarounds for this? I need these additional articulation for some of my
jazz composition, and if I cannot access them without sighted assistance
then what’s the point of having this plug-in in the first place? May as
well just spend the additional money on a Tyros 5 or a Montage and have
access to what I need with velocity switches and control change messages.
If there is no workaround, are there any other jazz horn plugins that are
fully accessible?
God bless!
