NEO WOODWINDS is a library collection of world class woodwind principal musicians. With decades of credits both on stage and on screen playing as principal chairs for the UK’s top orchestras. Alongside the meticulously captured ‘bread and butter’ articulations, there is an assortment of unusual and cutting edge performance techniques on offer that really set this collection apart from the crowd.

From spellbinding true legatos that shine, to cutting edge tongue ram techniques and plosive percussive textures. NEO WOODWINDS can take you there.

Again, a terrific collection of instruments!

Peerless set of instruments!!!

Neo woodwinds are nice

Very nice darker sound and selection of articulations for these Neo solo woodwinds which will work well for many situations as well as blending with other woodwind ensembles. They also compliment Neo strings and brass very well which I also have .

Fabulous

Really lovely collection of winds, beautifully sampled, with an extensive selection of artics that make it a hugely verstatile collection. Personal favourite is the Cor Anglais, but they are all superb.
Insanity Samples commitment to updates is a rarity in the industry, and should be noted and commended.

Super Excellent and Different.

Really nice to have as companion to other symphonic libraries. Plus sits really well by itself when doing modern, hybrid, and electronic. Well worth it. Nice to perfectly compliment rest of NEO series too. Plus, these always seem to be improving and updating…which is superb!

Slightly darker and moodier woodwinds. Lovely set of artications.

I am a bit of a woodwind sample nutter. I have many many sampled woodwind VIs. Still… this collection has a special place in my template, especially for slightly darker moodier atmospheres. Beautiful package, with the clarinet and piccolo as my particular personal highlights. But all of the instruments are recorded beautifully. Another pro are the extended articulations you won’t find that frequently elsewhere. Again, after NEO Solo Strings, another highly recommended purchase.
