Modular tape‑processed woodwind synth library. Woodwindulator embraces the unpredictability of early ’70s modular synths.
WOODWINDULATOR
Modular tape‑processed woodwind synth
SAMPLED FOR KONTAKT
Electronic generated tapestry of sounds that evokes the characteristics of woodwinds.
This ain’t your typical woodwind section, not by a long shot. The Woodwindulator synth library for Kontakt taps into something more electric, something more objective, something for the analog synth lovers, who also love the sound of woodwinds.
Its many patches sounds like a battery driven woodwind section trapped in a modular synth from the early 70ies, with wires connected to their brains, recorded through tape machines.

TUNING THE OSCILLATORS
The project used multiple synth systems, each contributing its distinct flavor. Dialed in to produce similar yet slightly varied woodwind’ish timbres.
Some patches were driven through multiple tapemachines, up to three times, in stereo. Tape echos adds a layer of unpredictability and depth, that feels alive and evolving.
The interface is scalable. Simple to look at, and ready to play. Advanced options are available behind every control for those who like to dig deeper.

Woodwindulator isn’t about faithfully replicating traditional woodwind instruments. Instead, it’s a collection of non-authentic woodwind instruments and ensembles created with vintage electronic circuits, analogue modular synths, and tape. A sweet range of electric clarinet, flute and reed sounds.
Analog Woodwind +Tape+Tape+Tape = Woodwindulator
The versatile effect engine empowers you to further engage in granular rain to intricate evolving textures.

Woodwindulator is pure character. It sounds like a synth forgot it wasn’t a clarinet and ran through a broken tape machine — in the best possible way. – M.K
Haunting, warbly, and completely original. – Sasha
