Hollywoodwinds

Hollywoodwinds by Cinesamples is a Kontakt instrument built for composers who need realistic orchestral woodwind ensemble runs, phrases and textures without wrestling with timing. Its Intelligent Time Engine (CITE) automatically detects your sequence tempo and plays back pre-recorded scales and patterns in sync, choosing from multiple recorded tempos and micro-adjusting samples for a natural performance. You get stage and close mic options plus hybrid patches for custom blends, a 3-band EQ, and even a notation view showing conductor-piano reductions of triggered samples. The sound is crafted to emulate the Hollywood scoring stage, with stacked keyboard patches and a full tutti ensemble. It excels at dramatic runs, 20th-century textures and cinematic FX, making it ideal for film, TV and game composers, as well as producers adding orchestral colour to pop, hip-hop or electronic tracks. Requires Kontakt 3.5 or later.
