NEO WOODWINDS is our flagship modern winds soloists collection. A library comprising of a plethora of articulations for each instrument, covering both ‘bread and butter’ articulations complete with beautiful true legatos, all the way to extended and experimental performance techniques unique to this collection. All wrapped in our trailblazing ‘overlay threshold’ functionality, creating a workflow so seamless and natural you’ll feel like you have the real instrument in your own hands. A contemporary sound brimming with character and performance playability. Pairing beautifully with the rest of our NEO Soloists Ranges (Strings & Brass).
From spellbinding true legatos that shine, to cutting edge tongue ram techniques and plosive percussive textures. NEO WOODWINDS can take you there.
