Woodwinds

Woodwind VST plugins that breathe like the real thing. Flutes, clarinets, double reeds and saxophones recorded from world-class players and blended with physical modeling, so dynamics, legato and vibrato follow your breath or mod wheel instead of keyswitches.

Sampling meets modeling

A purely sampled woodwind library switches between recorded dynamic layers and loads a separate patch for every articulation. Our VWinds and VHorns instruments use H.A.T. (Harmonic Alignment Technology) instead: the timbre changes continuously from the softest to the loudest note, controlled by the air flow – the mod wheel, a breath controller, or a wind controller such as an EWI or Aerophone. Staccatos, legatos and phrasing come from how you play, with no keyswitches and no stack of CCs.

How does it work? Read sampled, modeled or hybrid: how realistic virtual brass and woodwinds work.

Light and real

Every instrument was performed by a different world-class musician, and where a library has two of the same instrument, they are two separately recorded instruments, for a real variety of tone and colour. Legato transitions, vibrato, release times and breath are all under your control, and the VWinds Flutes even overblow into harmonics when you push the dynamics. Because part of the sound is modeled, a whole section downloads in around 1 to 1.6 GB and runs comfortably on a laptop. Presets such as “Symphony Orchestra”, “Close & Dry” and “Woodwind Ensemble” get you started, and the clarinets and flutes can be placed on a virtual stage recorded at the Stoller Hall in Manchester.
