VENTO Modern Woodwinds Black Friday pricing sits at $149, 66% off, with the deal ending Dec 18, 2026, on Heavyocity's Kontakt instrument for modern woodwind scoring.
VENTO is a woodwind library built to turn conventional sources into hybrid cinematic material. It follows Heavyocity's string and brass libraries, NOVO and FORZO.
The maker pitches it as a fresh take on what woodwinds can do in contemporary scores.
The download holds 11,213 samples across 163 articulations, with 110 snapshot presets and 432 tempo-synced loops. Heavyocity's own headline counts are over 160 organic articulations, 100 hybrid snapshots and 400 loops.
It installs as 27.2 GB, or 18.5 GB on disk with NI lossless compression. It is direct download only.
The ensembles stack several instruments per patch. High Ensemble combines flute, piccolo, clarinet and oboe. Low Ensemble pairs 2 bass clarinets with 2 bassoons.
Contrabass Ensemble uses 2 contrabass clarinets and 2 contrabassoons. The maker points to its Contrabass Ensemble Swells for growl and its High Ensemble Flutters for unnerving suspense.
Heavyocity says these textures give you lyrical lines as well as dense, complex ones.
The sound design comes from Heavyocity's in-house processing and from the VENTO engine itself. The idea is to push clean woodwind sources into evolving hybrid cues.
Two controls handle the deeper tweaking. The CYCLE page covers advanced granular and rhythmic playback, and a MACRO knob moves several parameters at once.
VENTO runs stand-alone and as VST, AU and AAX. It is powered by the Kontakt 6.1 engine and needs the full Kontakt 6 or the latest free Kontakt 6 Player. It is NKS-ready and integrated with Komplete Kontrol.
