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.
(Flute GUI used for example. All GUI images are at the bottom of this page)
