PACIFIC – WOODWINDS

The woodwind section from ‘PACIFIC – Classical Symphonic Orchestra

OVERVIEW

Pacific – Woodwinds is a symphonic woodwinds library featuring two clarinets, two flutes, two bassoons, two oboes, and a solo piccolo. This is an ensemble woodwind library (with the exception of the solo piccolo). The library was created as an addendum to Pacific – Ensemble Strings and thus recorded in the same space as the rest of the Pacific orchestral project, allowing blending with the rest of the sections. The library’s main patches are based around the familiar multi-length playable patches  (in the vein of the Angry Brass Pro libraries), but taken further with more speeds of performance-sampled releases which trigger based on note length – from short to long.

INTRO PERIOD

Approximately four months, through March 20th, 2025.

Library Limitations

Limited Legato Articulations

No legato for oboes, bassoons, or piccolo.

Musician Placement

The musicians were a bit too close to the main AB pair, which can lead to them sounding a bit upfront. Not quite as obvious as Pacific – Brass.

Known Bugs

Discovered after release, flutes and clarinets when played polyphonically in sustain mode have note hangs. This will be remedied in an update as soon as possible.

Loyalty Intro Details

These offers are only available during the library’s intro period which runs until March 20th, 2025.

Loyalty Intro

Do you own a (non-NFR) copy of Oceania I/II, Angry Woodwinds Pro, and/or Vista (original)? Use this code during checkout to bring the normal intro price of $179 down to $99: PACWWLOYALTYINTRO

Special Loyalty Intro

However if you own a (non-NFR) copy of a section from Pacific Orchestra (Solo Strings, Ensemble Strings, Brass, or Percussion [this last one isn’t released as of now]), you can get a bigger discount which will bring the total to $79. Check your email records for an email you received with the rest of your fulfillment emails when you purchased one of the aforementioned libraries. The subject should be along the lines of “Your loyalty code for..” or “Your (intro) loyalty code for…”

You will find a code at the bottom of that email. Do not share this code with others under any circumstance, as orders are subject to verification and loyalty qualification, in each instance.

Take that code you received in that email and suffix “-WW” to the end of it. It should look like this (replace the X’s with your code – and keep in mind that the number of characters here may not match the number of characters in your code):

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-WW

With the “-WW” suffix integrated, this is the code you can use when prompted for the coupon code during checkout. There are intricacies to where the coupon code is in the process (for Paypal you don’t get prompted until Paypal sends you back to FastSpring which is a little confusing). More info (recently updated as well) can be found on the FAQs.

I also created a little booklet for Pacific – Solo Strings buyers when I released that library, which may have some applicability during checkout. To see that booklet, click here.

You can also see some screenshots I created for the Pacific – Solo Strings checkout process at this link.

I hope this helps and thanks for checking out the library. – JB
