Ensembles and Sound Design Tools

VENTO organizes its woodwinds into five sections: flutes, clarinets, a high ensemble of flute, piccolo, clarinet and oboe, a low ensemble of bass clarinets and bassoons, and a contrabass ensemble of contrabass clarinets and contrabassoons.

The Hybrid Woodwind Designer lets you combine and process these sources, while the CYCLE page provides granular and rhythmic playback. A MACRO knob adjusts several parameters at once, which is useful for building swells and suspense textures in real time.

The library also includes 110 snapshot presets and 432 tempo-synced loops, giving you starting points for both sustained and rhythmic writing.
