Description: Wind instruments of the world!
An amazingly extensive and high-quality collection of ethnic wind instruments from all over the world!
In world winds you get the evocative sounds of many rarities like :
? Bansuri (Indian flute)

And many more!
The flutes range from sweet and delicate to eerie, breathy and complex.
In contrast, there are the wild, strange and stirring timbres
of ethnic reed instruments, bagpipes and African horns.
The library’s strength lies in its articulations as well as straight notes.
There are up and down bends, various types of grace notes,
and authentic phrases and performances. These can be combined
easily to provide a very realistic delivery, sounding just like a real player.
To avoid tuning clashes, all samples are presented at concert pitch;
alternatively, if you prefer to hear the instruments in their purest form,
‘raw’ programs have been supplied which demonstrate the native tuning,
scales and ranges.
There are also atmospheric programs which work well for pads and textures.
World Winds is a must-have for film, TV and media composers, World Music,
Rock, Pop and contemporary Classical composers and performers,
creative keyboardists and programmers,
and anyone with an ear for great instrumental sounds!
