Traditional

VENTO Essentials Traditional Woodwinds preset is anything but. Determined to push woodwinds beyond the conventional, Heavyocity sought to carve out a new niche - combining unique articulations to create a palette of expressive woodwinds content destined for modern scores. VENTO Essentials provides a great sample of that initial mission, featuring seven sections (Flutes, Oboes, Clarinets, Contra Bass Clarinet, Bassoon and Contra Basson) and six articulations (Sustains, Staccatos, Crescendos, Subtle Pulses, Random Vibratos and Cluster Crescendos).

Evolved

VENTO Essentials is the sonic potential of a 12-piece woodwind orchestra, plus Heavyocity's signature sound-design techniques: tweaking, processing, mangling, and mashing up these meticulously-recorded sources into an all-new crop of hybrid cinematic elements. Featuring 25 all-new Hybrid snapshots and VENTO Essentials delivers a fresh crop of signature sounds straight into the hands of the modern composer.
