Orchestral Woodwinds

Orchestral Woodwinds puts the sounds of a modern orchestra into Bitwig Studio!
The woodwind section offers the broadest range of sounds and colors in the orchestra, and this sound package puts that diversity right in your hands. 14 presets offer standard ensembles, whether it’s instruments paired for octaves or the entire set of high and low winds, all with different velocities, articulations, and half- and whole-step trills. All of this is optimized for Bitwig’s Sampler, including release samples that capture the space of Berlin’s legendary Teldex Studios. And in addition, 14 more presets blend these high-quality samples with Bitwig Studio’s own tools, turning your notes into arpeggiated musical patterns, minimal soundscapes with a modern bite, or just enough irregularity that an old line becomes new. 

Instruments in the Sound Package
- Woodwinds (ensemble: sustains, staccato, trills)
- Flutes & Clarinets Octave (sustains, staccato, trills)
- Bassoons & Clarinets Octave (sustains, staccato)

Orchestral Woodwinds is our second collaboration with Orchestral Tools, and it works in perfect harmony with the previously released Orchestral Strings sound package. Both sound packages can be found in the “Partner Collection” of the Bitwig Studio Package Manager. 

The samples included in Orchestral Woodwinds were recorded on the scoring stage at the famous Teldex Studio in Berlin, one of the world's preeminent classical music recording studios thanks to its historic location on the site of an 1890 concert venue, its unique collection of vintage microphones, and legacy of engineering expertise. Germany's top orchestras have performed and recorded at this location since the building was constructed as a concert venue for groups like the Berlin Philharmonic in 1890 and then its post-War days as Teldec Studios.
