WOODWIND ENSEMBLE

​

SYMPHONY SERIES – WOODWIND ENSEMBLE delivers the rich, earthy sound of a 36-piece woodwind orchestra. Each section – flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, saxophones , and bass winds (contrabassoons and bass clarinets) – features six players recorded in meticulous detail for a total of 57.9 GB of content.

WOODWIND ENSEMBLE features 314 articulations including special effects, true legato, and time-adjustable arpeggios. All recordings were captured from four discrete mic positions, which can be easily blended directly from the Mixer interface. Even straight out of the box, the sound is deep, full, and precise.

​

WOODWIND SOLO

​

SYMPHONY SERIES – WOODWIND SOLO richly captures the sound of professional concert flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, bassoon, tenor saxophone and contrabassoon soloists – 33.4 GB of pristinely sampled solo instruments.

The signature SYMPHONY SERIES interface provides immediate control of 148 articulations, including special effects, flourishes, and ultra-realistic true legato. It also lets you seamlessly blend dynamic layers to achieve the natural expressiveness of solo woodwind performances.

Comparison to Berlin Woodwinds?

 

Well the solos are on the hit list.... and the ensembles...well..... best to wait!

 

I've just seen the 'Solo' demo and sorry to say I'm not that impressed so far. Although there are loads of articulations I felt the tone(s) (especially the Flute) were a little harsh and rather nasal. Until we get the chance to play with this ourselves it's impossible to know exactly what it's really like.

 

since i never used Berlin woodwinds i have no idea about the comparison between both libraries
maybe members here could help with the comparison between Both libraries

is too early to judge from few Youtube videos (i believe a full review video will give us more knowledge about This Libraries)
for now i use Chris Hein Woodwinds Bundle v2
i won't judge it until i test it since i will try NI SYMPHONY SERIES WOODWIND Ensemble & Solo in a few days
indeed there's a lot of articulations and a lot of nki Files and I'm sure you will find that sound you're looking for
beside that dynamics knob is very useful

From the video tutorial it sounds really awful! Especially the Basoon and Saxophone..

Basoon?

 

I think that was a sort of joke. Like Pass on using a bit of the spelling of Bassoon.

 

Looks/sounds like serious stuff!!

Who will do the percussion section?

 

about the percussion section Imagine If Native instruments collaborate with Spitfire audio

 

SF could be a choice indeed but Im personally not impressed of what SF has done with percussion so far.
What about OT or SoundIron?

 

Orchestral Tools & Soundiron They are great too ; Also Chris Hein & Best service

 

Agreed
