Heavyocity Media has released Vento: Modern Woodwinds, a new cinematic woodwinds virtual instrument for Kontakt and Kontakt Player.
Like its string and brass predecessors, Novo and Forzo, Vento is designed to be Heavyocity's answer to the traditional; in this case, delivering a new take on what woodwinds are capable of in modern scores. Featuring over 160 organic articulations, 100 hybrid snapshots, and 400 tempo-synced loops, Vento aims to transform conventional woodwinds into cinematic inspiration.
They say "From the Contrabass Ensemble Swells (contrabass clarinet and contrabassoon) to the High Ensemble Flutters (piccolo, flute, clarinet, oboe), Vento embodies the lyricality and complex textures your modern scores require."
As a "powered-by-Kontakt" instrument, Vento offers all playback and sound-shaping functionality through the full version of Kontakt or the free Kontakt 6 Player.
Intro Price: $349 USD until November 17 (Reg. $449).
Owners of Novo or Forzo get an additional $50 coupon.
