The Flow of Symphonic Air
BBO Woodwinds includes the full sample content of the previously available BBO Packs Neptune (Tutti Woodwinds) and Solaris (FX Woodwinds) in one easily accessible package. Enhanced by our new Flow View for intuitive browsing and uninterrupted creativity, this comprehensive library gives you immediate access to mesmerizing woodwind ensembles – from refined tutti passages to dynamic runs, clusters, and textures.

Tutti Woodwinds
The Tutti Woodwinds patches unite all instruments of the woodwind family into one expressive ensemble – 13 players performing in unison and octaves, perfectly balanced to achieve a natural blend from the piercing brilliance of the piccolo to the deep resonance of the contrabassoon.

Ensemble instrumentation:

1 Piccolo 3 Flutes 2 Oboes 1 English horn 2 Clarinets in Bb 1 Bass clarinet 2 Bassoons 1 Contrabassoon

This unique recording approach merges the entire woodwind family into one harmonious body. The musicians' instinctive phrasing and intonation create a perfectly balanced tone that embodies the refinement and warmth of Vienna's orchestral tradition.

For greater flexibility, you can exclude the piccolo from the tutti ensemble via key switch if you prefer a rounder timbre. Whether used for lyrical melodies, orchestral swells, or dynamic tutti accents, these performances deliver immediate inspiration with a natural cinematic character.

FX Woodwinds
The FX Woodwinds patches expand your orchestral palette with two specialized ensembles – Low Winds and High Winds – offering a wealth of articulations, clusters, runs, and arpeggios for instant texture and rhythmic drive.

The Low Winds ensemble (3 contrabassoons, 2 bassoons, 1 contrabass clarinet, 2 bass clarinets) provides deep, resonant foundations. Performances include short and long notes, espressivo, swells, sforzatos, sforzatissimos, flutter tonguing, and more – available in unison, octaves, and clusters. A crossfade patch lets you morph smoothly between unison and clustered sounds, opening up endless creative options for tension cues and dark textures.

The High Winds ensemble (1 piccolo, 3 flutes, 2 oboes, 4 clarinets) showcases the virtuosic brilliance of Vienna's top players, performing dazzling runs and arpeggios with breathtaking precision. Runs are available in major and minor keys, diatonic modes, chromatic and whole tone scales, while arpeggios cover major, minor, diminished, augmented, and seventh chords. You can trigger ascending or descending patterns – or both simultaneously – to create evolving, shimmering motion.
