Welcome to Action Woodwinds

Action Woodwinds provides the lively sound of a full woodwind ensemble, from the vibrant tones of clarinets, English horns, oboes, and flutes to the deep resonance of bassoons, contrabass clarinets, and beyond.

Explore the extensive collection of innovative orchestral phrases, edit them to your taste, or build your own from scratch using the flexible Modules. Chop, duplicate, and refine Modules to create trills, crescendos, falls, and runs that elevate your scores.

You can also play note sequences in real time using a range of articulations. Tailor your sound with multiple mic positions and controls for both high and low ensembles, then export your performance as a MIDI file to use with other instruments in your DAW.

This document shows you how to install and setup Action Woodwinds and describes all features in detail, starting with the overview.

We hope you enjoy Action Woodwinds!
