So until Acoustic Samples releases a flute library, is there one from another developer that you feel blends well with the combination of VWinds Double Reeds and VWinds Clarinets? Maybe Musical Sampling's Gabrielle Flute? Others?

Hi Jack, Thank You for making this video, that shows the Acoustic Samples VWinds Library. Their Double Reed Wind Instruments. It's quite impressive how much detail in the sound the mono/close mics offer, and they sound great once you put them in the Teledex stage using the Berlin Studio effects Plugin. I haven't yet purchased this library. I might do so in the near future. I'm also curious if there are advantages of using them with a MPE controller like the ROLI Seaboard 2. I'm not sure if the UVI Player is MPE compatible. I need to check on those details. The real big challenge for Acoustic Samples is when they begin developing the Strings. Be they Solo, or Section. I wish them a lot of luck, and lots of good ideas to tackle this. I'm also curious how this library compares i.e. Audio Modeling SWAM Solo Woodwinds, and Sample Modeling Solo Woodwinds. Also looking forward to the release of Acoustic Samples Woodwinds (VFlutes). and (VStrings). Oh.. on a final note. I wish you played some legato, slower melodic lines to show how the legato, and expressiveness of these double reeds sounds in that kind of phrasing, most of your demos were using very short articulations. Cheers, Muziksculp

Regarding your final note: I'm only 10 minutes in but everything he has played so far has been in a legato style. Also, short note demos are actually good because that is historically something that modelled libraries have struggled with.

[@muziksculp2r]

Hi@@snarf1504 , Yes, That's true. I wasn't very clear. I meant the short demo tracks he has recorded already are mostly playing shorter notes. Not much longer legato style. But, He does play Legato style when he plays the VWind Instrument/s in realtime to show the instruments in the beginning earlier part of the video. Thanks.

@@snarf1504yup - this is what I wanted to really push and show off. For me, as you’ve said, short articulations are the hardest to capture truthfully to the instrument on sample modelling based instruments, specifically due to the programmed attack on the note. Hopefully these three demos were able to show that this library isn’t phased (pardon the pun) or challenged by this!

[@sashakindel3600]

What do you mean by Sample Modeling Solo Woodwinds? I'm only aware of brass and strings from them, but I'd certainly want to look into woodwinds from them if they have any.

[@muziksculp2r]

@@sashakindel3600 OH.. sorry, that's a mistake. Yeah, Sample Modeling do not have Woodwinds, so ignore that part of my post above. I think Sample Modeling mentioned they don't have plans to develop Woodwinds. Not sure why, given it would make a lot of sense for them to develop them.
