MeldaProduction releases Power Woodwinds

MeldaProduction manoeuvres orchestrally into woodwinds with PowerWoodwinds pushing MSoundFactory premium instrument range further forward

As another significant addition to its ever-expanding range of premium instruments for MSoundFactory, itself held in high regard as arguably the most powerful modular virtual instrument platform out there today by effectively allowing users to create their own instruments (alternatively available as MSoundFactory LE — providing access to all the sounds and instruments included with its bigger brother, but without access to the editing screen — and also for free as the self-explanatory MSoundFactory Player with only a few sounds included, although users can choose to purchase premium instruments), music production and audio processing advanced tools- maker MeldaProduction is proud to announce availability of PowerWoodwinds — pushing that premium instrument range further forward by manoeuvring orchestrally into the territory of woodwinds while following in the footsteps of its PowerBrass and PowerStrings predecessors with which it clearly compliments — as of February 3...

Orchestral manoeuvres in woodwind territory

As an orchestral woodwind powerhouse, PowerWoodwinds is an MSoundFactory premium instrument featuring a complete woodwind ensemble explicitly tailored for the versatile demands of modern music production. PowerWoodwinds combines the timeless elegance of orchestral woodwinds with a contemporary twist, delivering rich and vibrant sounds designed to elevate tracks instantly. Indeed, its streamlined interface and intuitive controls effectively allow anyone to effortlessly add lush woodwind arrangements to their compositions without slowing down their creative flow.

Articulate to orchestrate

PowerWoodwinds’ power extends into its offering a diverse range of articulations that range from smooth Legato to crisp Staccato, allowing anyone to achieve the perfect expression for any musical idea. It is possible to switch between them during a live performance using the low keys of a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) controller keyboard, or even enable multiple articulations at the same time. And as if that was not enough to be getting on with in itself, PowerWoodwinds offers independent Volume and Transpose (pitch) per articulation, which is ideal for extremely easy layering, while every articulation also has access to its own detailed envelope settings — think Attack, ACurve (Attack Curve), Hold, Decay, DCurve (Decay Curve), Sustain, and Release in the case of its Sustain articulations.

Get CREATIVE

While working with PowerWoodwinds, woodwinds need not always sound like woodwinds. When accessing PowerWoodwinds’ CREATIVE ‘tab’, users are plunged headlong into a brave new world of sound, one where they can, for example, transform the sound of those woodwinds into a synth using the CONVOLUTION settings. Similarly, FM (Frequency Modulation) controls are also available, as is control over HARMONICS. Applying a pleasant-sounding DIFFUSION to the proceedings is, likewise, all part of getting creative. Clearly, the results of doing that is a great blend between natural and artificial.

Cause and effect

Also, there is no need, necessarily, to turn to third-party effect plug-ins for finalising the sound since PowerWoodwinds includes its own REVERB (offering five types of room and hall) alongside an advanced DELAY and five-band EQUALIZER, plus MOTION, DISTORTION, CHORUS, MODULATION, and LOFI effects — more than enough, surely, to boost creativity in the highly unlikely event of PowerWoodwinds failing to inspire in its musical mission of elevating whatever it touches.

Stand and deliver

It is fair to say that no matter what musical genre might make a user feel most comfortable — crafting an ambient track, a pop-rock song, orchestrating epic film trailers, composing emotive soundtracks, or producing majestic symphonies, perhaps, PowerWoodwinds stands ready to infuse their music with unparalleled depth and grandeur. As an optimised sample library, it is a lightweight MSoundFactory premium instrument that is efficient in terms of CPU (Central Processing Unit) and RAM (Random Access Memory) efficiency. Ending on a high note involves asking a pertinent question: is it worth using PowerWoodwinds instead of hiring an orchestra? Only time will tell for some stalwarts, but, for everyone else, PowerWoodwinds’ sounds surely speak for themselves. Time, though, is obviously of the essence in the versatile world of modern music production; PowerWoodwinds’ complete woodwind ensemble is, after all, explicitly tailored to meet those versatile demands.

PowerWoodwinds is available to purchase as an AAX-, AU-, VST-, and VST3-compatible plug-in supporting all major hosts on macOS (64-bit only) and Windows (64-bit only) via its dedicated webpage for a time-limited introductory promo price of only €9.00 EUR until March 9, 2025 — rising thereafter to its regular price of €69.00 EUR — and can be used in MeldaProduction’s free MSoundFactory Player (downloadable from here: https://www.meldaproduction.com/MSoundFactoryPlayer); owners of MSoundFactory or MSoundFactory LE can get PowerWoodwinds as an add-on for free. (It is worth noting that MSoundFactory is also included in Image Line’s FL Cloud subscription: https://www.image-line.com/fl-cloud/whats-included/)
