The Next Generation of Hybrid Woodwind Instruments

Chris Hein - Hybrid Winds expands the tonal versatility of modern orchestral and sound design tools by reimagining classic woodwind instruments with creative, hybrid textures. Building on the success of Chris Hein Orchestral Winds, this instrument set introduces a fresh palette of sounds, blending traditional woodwinds with strings, brass, and synthesizers to create unique, ready-to-play hybrid instruments that unlock an array of new tonal colors.

With a comprehensive selection of specially crafted textures – from soft pads and atmospheric drones to powerful braams, booms, and percussive drum sounds – Hybrid Winds opens new horizons for composers aiming to craft innovative soundscapes. This sound library is an excellent resource for creating cinematic scores, orchestral pieces, and experimental sound designs, adapting flexibly to any musical setting.

At the heart of Hybrid Winds is real-time sound shaping, offering virtually limitless variations. Instruments are divided into three adjustable components: Attack, Sustain, and Release. Each area can be precisely controlled, allowing for detailed sound sculpting. With the Note-Heads feature, up to 128 distinct attack shapes can be applied per note, creating an enormous range of dynamic diversity. Advanced blending options enable seamless sound morphing via individual MIDI controllers or the intuitive XY-Pad, allowing each sound layer to merge smoothly. Release settings further enhance tonal depth, generating unique sounds upon note release and significantly expanding creative possibilities.
