Audio Imperia – Fluid Woods: Cinematic Woodwind Shorts

A symphony of progress: Versatile, Agile, and Detailed

Fluid Woods marks the third collaborative effort between Audio Imperia and Performance Samples, aligning with the core goal of delivering fast repetition-sourced shorts sampling in an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

A Seamless Collaboration

Just as with Fluid Brass, Fluid Woods integrates the repetition sampling concepts from Performance Samples' Fluid Shorts line with Audio Imperia’s refined approach to high-level product design. This synergy results in a pro-user woodwinds shorts library, enabling fluent and rapid repeated playability.

The instrument configuration remains traditional: solo flute, solo oboe, solo clarinet, solo bassoon, and solo piccolo—all recorded together in the same space as Fluid Brass. With up to 8 dynamic layers and 6 repetition speeds, Fluid Woods surpasses even Fluid Brass in expressive capabilities.

Features at a Glance

• Intuitive & Comprehensive: Fluid Woods handles intricate details automatically, eliminating the need for manual keyswitching or envelope control.
• Lush Sound: The library adapts to the speed of your playing, creating realistic and fluent performances effortlessly.
• Versatile Playability: Suitable for orchestral and cinematic compositions, allowing for fluid, swift, and evocative repeated patterns.
• Premium Recording Space: Captured in the same renowned hall as Dolce Romantic Chamber Strings and Performance Samples’ Pacific, Caspian, and Con Moto.
