Big Bang Orchestra: Solaris - FX Woodwinds

This completely re-recorded Big Bang Orchestra library contains single notes and phrases in the categories “Low Winds” and “High Winds”.

• This all-new collection of woodwind tones and phrases offers two main categories: Low Winds and High Winds.

  • Ensemble of low woodwinds (8 musicians)

  • Ensemble of high woodwinds (10 musicians)

  • Unison and octave notes with a wide variety of articulations

  • Clusters, runs, arpeggios

  • Change tempo using the time-stretch feature or sync to host

  • Recorded with multiple microphones at Synchron Stage Vienna

  The Low Winds section consists of an ensemble of three contrabassoons, two bassoons, one contrabass clarinet and two bass clarinets. Together, they perform the fundamental lows, with articulations such as short notes (both bold and agile), long notes, espressivo, short and long swells, sforzatos, sforzatissimos, and flutter tongues. All of these playing techniques are available as notes playing in unison and octaves, as well as in clusters. A crossfade patch allows you to blend seamlessly from unison to clusters and back.

  The High Winds section consists of one piccolo, three flutes, two oboes and four clarinets. Apart from long notes in unison and octaves, these top musicians from the Synchron Stage Orchestra, who have developed into a cohesive ensemble over the years, show off their synergistic virtuosity by performing runs and arpeggios in a wide variety of scales and chords. Runs are available in major and minor keys, as well as in diatonic modes, chromatic and whole tone scales. As a variant, the “Perform Octave” patch lets you play a starting note of any length and trigger the run as soon as you press the target note an octave above or below.

  
  

The arpeggios were recorded as various major, minor, seventh, diminished and exaggerated chords. You can choose the highest or lowest note as the starting note, so the loops start from above or below. You can exit at any time by releasing the button, whereby you can also select the highest or lowest tone or "cut off" as the end tone. In addition, there are so-called cross-patches, where the arpeggios start from above as well as from below and run in opposite directions, creating wonderful textures. It has never been easier to have an entire woodwind ensemble play lively and rhythmically perfect patterns with the press of a single key. The arpeggios played as sixteenth note triplets are in tempos 80,
