After a decade of exhaustive sampling, and four years spent capturing the UK’s finest woodwind players, we give you this definitive collection of orchestral woodwinds. Expertly sampled and recorded to tape in Lyndhurst Hall at AIR Studios, London, via an unparalleled signal path, it features multiple dynamics, vibrato control, numerous round robins and a variety of traditional and more sophisticated articulations, such as clarinet flutter tongue, with playing styles from lyrical solo oboe to thunderous contrabassoon.

Woodwinds are commonly under-represented in modern orchestral scoring, but they can add genuine power to your productions and are therefore an essential part of your orchestral palette. It is also the spirit and diversity of our music scene in London that breeds a diversity of skill sets and broadens our palette beyond the standard symphonic woodwind hegemony. So also to be found within Spitfire Symphonic Woodwinds is a colourful palette of bass and contrabass clarinets, alto and bass flutes to enrich your compositions.
For the more traditional and popular instruments (oboes, C flutes, clarinets, and bassoons) these players have been recorded solo, and two in unison. They are seated exactly in situ, so you can combine a2 patches with solo ones for a slightly larger section, whilst maintaining spectral integrity.
