EXCLUSIVE FEATURES
WOODWIND offers powerful features, exclusive to the WOODWIND family of scoring tools.
ARPEGGIO MODULE
In addition to the included recorded arpeggios, the Arpeggio Module allows you to instantly generate arpeggiated phrases and sustained note runs, trills, and chords. It's all playable in real time, and you can restrict arpeggios to scales and patterns.
EXPRESSION RELEASE SYSTEM
Whenever you release a key, the Expression Release system creates a natural sounding decay. This works even if the played articulation features recorded dynamic changes, as found in crescendo or swells.
AVAILABLE IN TWO VERSIONS
Both SYMPHONY SERIES and SYMPHONY ESSENTIALS versions are built from the same recordings and have the same intuitive interface. The full-featured SERIES version offers exhaustive depth and nuance, while the ESSENTIALS version provides the same quality in a lightweight package.
