Accordingly, the instruments offer perfect seamless transitions of dynamic layers without sonic degradation. Over a research-period of six months, all samples were fully aligned in phase.
Perfect dynamic transitions thanks to phase alignment It makes this library greatly variable and, additionally, combinable with almost any other library available. This makes Chris Hein – Winds significantly different to many competitors and their fixed spatial characteristics. Separate convolution engines for the corpus-sound (body) and the ambience (room) allow creating any spatial environment, ranging from close intimacy to large orchestral halls.
Despite that CH Winds incorporated the inevitable interaction of an orchestra. Therefore, the participating musicians used headphone monitoring, to complement each other. Consequently, time-dependent articulations such as Dynamic Expression receive an especially coherent tone, allowing you to combine individual instruments to perfectly matched ensembles.ĭue to the sample-engine’s dual convolution reverbs and the intentionally dry sound of Chris Hein - Winds, you can easily adapt the instruments to various situations. The Kontakt Player allows a free instrument-placement in the stereo panorama.
All instruments were recorded individually avoiding any crosstalk. Unlike the award-winning Chris Hein – Horns, this library takes advantage of the renowned WDR Symphonic Orchestra.įor this library, dry close mic´ing was an intentional decision.
