EXPRESSIVE WOODWIND

A 36-piece woodwind section and top soloists, recorded within the unique acoustic environment of Montclair Presbyterian Church, Oakland. The portfolio unites classic woodwind instruments with contemporary saxophone, offering vivid dynamic recordings for traditional and modern scoring.

SYMPHONY SERIES - WOODWIND Solo Audio Demos

VIVID DYNAMIC RECORDINGS

With recorded arpeggios, true legato, and up to 462 total articulations, WOODWIND provides a formidable suite of instruments. ENSEMBLE and SOLO sections are provided as distinct KONTAKT libraries, allowing detailed and realistic mixing of both grouped sections and soloists.

Both ENSEMBLE and SOLO libraries are provided in full SYMPHONY SERIES version or streamlined SYMPHONY ESSENTIALS version.

EMOTIVE INSTRUMENTS

From the choice of soloists and instruments to the recording space, every element of these expressive libraries was carefully selected.

Superb instruments recorded in pristine detail

All WOODWIND products have the same ergonomic interface

A wide set of articulations, easily arranged, is available in all versions

SYMPHONY SERIES - WOODWIND offers 4 mic mixes and a mixer page

EXCLUSIVE FEATURES

WOODWIND offers powerful features, exclusive to the WOODWIND family of scoring tools.

ARPEGGIO MODULE

In addition to the included recorded arpeggios, the Arpeggio Module allows you to instantly generate arpeggiated phrases and sustained note runs, trills, and chords. It's all playable in real time, and you can restrict arpeggios to scales and patterns.

EXPRESSION RELEASE SYSTEM

Whenever you release a key, the Expression Release system creates a natural sounding decay. This works even if the played articulation features recorded dynamic changes, as found in crescendo or swells.

AVAILABLE IN TWO VERSIONS

Both SYMPHONY SERIES and SYMPHONY ESSENTIALS versions are built from the same recordings and have the same intuitive interface. The full-featured SERIES version offers exhaustive depth and nuance, while the ESSENTIALS version provides the same quality in a lightweight package.

SYMPHONY SERIES – WOODWIND

The full-sized set of professional scoring tools. SYMPHONY SERIES -– WOODWIND offers flexibility, versatility, and a creative workflow. With over 400 individual articulations, four separate mic mixes, on board effects, and ergonomic controls, it’s the precision set of tools needed to cover any scoring task from film to games to studio.

SOLO & ENSEMBLE

Both SYMPHONY SERIES – WOODWIND and SYMPHONY ESSENTIALS – WOODWIND contain two separate KONTAKT libraries, for playing whole sections at a time or solo instruments individually.

WOODWIND SOLO

Expert soloists play concert flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, bassoon, tenor saxophone, and contrabassoon, each provided as its own KONTAKT instrument. 148 articulations (42 in ESSENTIALS) – including special effects – and true and emulated legato allow expressive and natural-sounding play, while up to eight round robins, multiple dynamic layers, and four discrete microphone mixes give complete control of the mix character and unique recording space.

[cta label="SEE ALL FEATURES" link="/products/symphony-series-woodwind" title="SEE ALL FEATURES"]

WOODWIND ENSEMBLE

The powerful and emotive sound of a vast 36-piece woodwind ensemble, playable altogether, and as six-player sections: Flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, saxophones, and bass winds (contrabassoons and bass clarinets). 314 individual articulations (54 in ESSENTIALS) and special articulation effects, true and emulated legato, and time-adjustable arpeggios, allow highly detailed performance control, while up to eight round robins and four discrete mic mixes enable comprehensive mixing control.
