Wind Instrument Sounds and Atmosphere

The expansion centers on wind-based tones inspired by ethnic instruments. Tracktion says each preset blends tonal nuance with ambient depth, giving the sounds a breathy, airy quality.

The set contains more than 50 presets, so there is a range of starting points from soft and sparse to fuller and more dramatic. Because the sounds are built on Horizen's synthesis engine, they can be edited like any other Horizen patch.

Expressive Control with Aftertouch and Mod Wheel

According to Tracktion, the presets are designed to respond to aftertouch and mod wheel input. This gives players control over dynamics and movement during a performance, from very soft articulations to large swells.

This responsiveness makes the expansion suited to played parts where expression matters as much as the tone itself.
