Orchestral Tools - Berlin Woodwinds Complete - Revive - Legacy -kontakt-

Roland Color System Library is Roland's original spot color library. Roland Color System Library consists of more than 1000 spot colors. A special feature of this library is that you can easily create a color chart with your printer.
In contrast to commercially available color charts, this color chart represents the actual colors that "your printer" and "your media" can reproduce (slight color differences is possible to occur depending on the conditions of the printer and media). By selecting colors from this color chart and creating illustrations with these colors, you can accurately reproduce the desired colors.

This section explains about printing the Roland Color System Library color chart and using colors from the library.

Orchestral Tools - Berlin Woodwinds Complete - Revive - Legacy -kontakt-

The Berlin Woodwinds Complete package on Kontakt provides two completely separate sample sets: (the original 2012 masterpiece) and Berlin Woodwinds Revive (the comprehensive re-recording and overhaul).

Incredibly expressive. Oboe 1 in the Legacy version is famous for its lyrical vibrato, while Revive offers a more stable, classical tone.

The modern expansion/crossgrade that brings new recordings, improved legato, and better workflow integration.

The centerpiece of the "Complete" package is the REVIVE update. Orchestral Tools took their foundational woodwind recordings and meticulously polished them for modern production demands. The Berlin Woodwinds Complete package on Kontakt provides

brings together two distinct iterations:

Warm, agile, and capable of whispered pianissimos up to piercing fortissimos .

Many composers still prefer the Legacy version for its unique bite and cinematic presence. The vibrato on the solo flutes and oboes is distinctly romantic and emotional.

: Primarily features a "close" and "far" mix, which some composers find easier to sit in a mix quickly. Share public link The centerpiece of the "Complete"

The character remains unmistakably Berlin : Recorded at the Teldex Scoring Stage, the woodwinds have a rich, warm, close-but-airy presence. Unlike dry studio libraries (like VSL) or overly distant hall sounds (like Spitfire’s Air Studios), Teldex offers a perfect "decca tree" balance.

Automatically plays measured or unmeasured trills based on the chords you hold down.

: Preferred by many for its "clearer, more strident" sound and more aggressive dynamic range.

The mixes are cleaner, more modern, and highly polished right out of the box. 3. Instrument Breakdown and Ensemble Power CC MIDI data

You can load all expressions (Staccato, Staccatissimo, Sustains, Flutter Tongue, Ornaments) into a single Kontakt instance and switch via keyswitches, CC MIDI data, or velocity.

The legacy library includes instruments not updated in Revive, ensuring a complete wind section, including specialized clarinets and bassoons.

Here is everything you need to know about breathing new life into your woodwind section.
