Acousticsamples – VWinds Double Reeds 2

VWinds Double Reeds v2.0 is now available! Free for existing users, our first ever orchestral library has been given a major update, with enhancements to the sound at the sample level itself, upgraded algorithms for our HAT allowing even more natural and realistic performance, a wealth of new additional features, such as release times and timbral vibrato, a brand new virtual space, a new visual design, and a new additional instrument.

Even with the v2 additions, our library remains incredibly compact, weighing in at only 1.1Gb download size, while still delivering the same responsiveness, playability and realism as all other VSeries libraries.

We sampled 3 Oboes, 2 English Horns (/Cor Anglais), 2 Bassoons and 1 Contrabassoon, each performed by different world-class musicians. The different versions of the Oboe, Bassoon and English Horn are separately recorded individual instruments, to offer variety of tone and color.

Thanks to our work on a hybrid technology blending recorded samples with modeling techniques, we were able to incorporate into these Double Reeds the very best of both worlds: impeccable, authentic-sounding instruments which are easily and immediately playable, right out of the box, and without the need for many CCs or keyswitches.
