Emotive Woodwind SoloistsExpanding our series of award-winning legato soloist libraries, Emotive Woodwind Soloists captures the core woodwind instruments with exceptional depth, nuance, and realism.From Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky to John Williams, the woodwind section has long been a cornerstone of musical storytelling

With Emotive Woodwind Soloists, this organic expressiveness has been distilled into a focused library, capturing the subtle nuance and intimacy of these instruments with a contemporary tone, perfect for dramatic scoring.Recorded at Nave Studios with some of Englands finest musicians, Emotive Woodwind Soloists is designed to blend seamlessly with other instruments in the Fracture Sounds Soloists range

Featuring production-ready microphone mixes and customisable positioning, it offers exceptional flexibility for precisely placing instruments within your mix.With its innovative features, expressive performances, and seamless workflow, Emotive Woodwind Soloists is an essential addition to any composers toolkit- designed to streamline creativity and fully immerse you in the emotive strength of woodwinds.Intelligent ToolsLike our other Soloists libraries, Emotive Woodwind Soloists is powered by the Smart Legato engine, which uses lookahead technology to deliver the most realistic and expressive performances

Additionally, the library features an enhanced Smart Trills engine, first introduced in Petrichor

Simply hold down intervals up to a major 2nd (or a major 3rd on the flute), and a trill is automatically triggered, creating a fluid and intuitive playing experience.InstrumentationWe have carefully selected the woodwind instruments most commonly featured as soloists in an orchestral setting, including flute, oboe, clarinet, cor anglais, and bassoon

Additionally, a bonus piccolo offers unique combinational articulations with the flute

In total, the library features 80 articulations, ranging from expressive legato and sustains to dynamic shorts and trills, providing a comprehensive toolkit for a variety of woodwind performances.Meet the MusiciansRobert Looman (flute, piccolo) is Professor of Piccolo at the Royal Academy of Music and Principal Piccolo of the Philharmonia Orchestra

Dynamics are controlled by velocity.Tenuto (Short)A short articulation with a rounded attack and extended decay compared to the Staccato

Dynamics are controlled by velocity.Tenuto (Long)An extended Tenuto with a more rounded attack and longer decay

Dynamics are controlled by velocity.Performance ShortsA multi-articulation that contains all three shorts

Shortest notes are triggered by low velocities; longest notes by high velocities

Dynamics are controlled by CC1.Sustain (Slow)Sustained long notes with a slow and more emotive attack and release

This can also be accessed on the main Sustain and Legato using the green momentary keyswitch.TrillsAutomatically selects a trill interval when two or more notes are held (up to a major 3rd on the flute, or up to a major 2nd on all other instruments)

For single notes, or notes outside the supported trill range, sustained notes will be triggered instead

On high velocity, trills will have an immediate attack; on low velocities, they will have a slower ramp-up.Additional Articulations show/hide textShort TrillsTwo types of short trill bursts (min2 and maj2)Performance Short-SustainA multi-articulation that triggers staccatos on low velocity, and sustains on high velocity
