SHIRE WINDS is an inspiring set of 6 folk woodwind instruments, played by the hand of the principle Piccolo & Folk Winds specialist Stewart Mcilwham. This deeply intuitive and creativity inspiring set of virtual instruments is powered by our most advanced scripting to date. With fully automated performance modes, your velocity input controls which articulation automatically gets played in real time, like having the instrument in your own hands.
From spinning folklore tales of yesteryear, to being the driving force behind a breakneck speed jig - SHIRE WINDS can take you there.
FREEBIE INCLUDED: With every purchase of Shire Winds, you get a completely free copy of an exclusive percussion library 'SHIRE PERC' dedicated to stylistically supporting Shire Winds. A percussive collection from Foot Stomps and Hand Claps, to Doumbek Drum, Bodhran Drum & Tambourine.
You do not need to do anything to get the Percussion Library. Our email confirmation with your unique redemption code will include a code for both libraries by default with every purchase of Shire Winds.
Important Note: SHIRE WINDS requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5/6/7 or above. Do not purchase this if you only have Kontakt Player.
