Originally released in multiple volumes as part of Spitfire’s renowned BML (British Modular Library) collection, the samples of five woodwind libraries were condensed, renovated and re-programmed into one single, enhanced product. Like the developers recently proceeded with their libraries ‘Symphonic Brass’ and ‘Symphonic Strings’, Spitfire Audio not only improved on the playability, design and ease-of-use, they also added 30% of brand-new content to the product that has never been released before.

Symphonic Woodwinds represents the pinnacle of over four years of capturing and deep-sampling the performances of world-class woodwind players in Britain’s iconic AIR Lyndhurst Hall.

The library brings along a thorough collection of orchestral woodwinds, ranging from traditional constants of the orchestra like flutes, oboes and clarinets, but also includes more modern and unusual instruments like a bass flute and a contrabassoon. These are all the 15 instruments included in Symphonic Woodwinds:

• Piccolo Flute
• Flute Solo
• Flutes a2
• Alto Flute
• Bass Flute
• Oboe Solo
• Oboes a2
• Clarinet Solo
• Clarinets a2
• Bass Clarinet
• Contrabass Clarinet
• Bassoon Solo
• Bassoon a2
• Contrabassoon
• Cor Anglais

Symphonic Woodwinds offers an affordable access to the world of professionally sampled orchestral woodwinds and with its multitude of available instruments and articulations, will probably keep composers busy for quite a long time.

Owners of one or more woodwind products of the BML range will find affordable crossgrade options up to a free upgrade.
