Westwood Instruments Solo Winds Untamed

Beautifully bold woodwinds

A woodwind sample library for Kontakt including Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Baritone Saxophone and Bassoon which perfectly compliments our successful Solo Strings and Solo Brass Untamed.

Pushing the boundaries of what you believe woodwinds can sound like, you’ll begin to want these instruments as the highlight of your music and not just a layer buried in the rest of the orchestra. Both elegant and beautiful or furious and turbulent.

The Improvisations are the life and soul behind each instrument. Not phrases, but performed notes with real human energy and movement.

Highlights

• 5 solo woodwinds
• Over 2300 improvised notes
• 4 mic positions
• ‘Storms’ articulation

A full spectrum of performance

The Improvisations aren’t melodic phrases or pre-written music. They are individual notes performed with intention, human energy and natural movement inside them. Never static, always alive.

Every single semitone across the recorded range of the instruments have 3 distinct dynamic layers triggered via keyboard velocity.

There’s 4 different variations of each layer too, giving 12 completely unique performances for every note. In total across the 5 instruments there are over 2300 unique improvisations, the most of all the Untamed series.

Calm

Breathy, shallow playing, subtle shifts in tone and timbre.

Lively

Fuller and more lyrical playing with swells in volume and changes in timbre.

Wild

Loud and full of energy. This will push the limits of what you thought woodwinds were capable of. Use sparingly for moments of fiery passion and intense emotion.

Extreme

With the Baritone Sax, we knew we could push this instrument even further than everything else. There is two separate rounds of Extreme Improvisations. Be prepared for choas.
