Desert Winds by Eduardo Tarilonte takes you on a journey through the sounds of the Orient. This library brings together four unique solo wind instruments: Armenian Duduk, Persian Ney, Turkish Ney, and Zourna and captures the spirit of traditional music from Armenia, Persia, Turkey, and the Middle East. Each instrument breathes history, emotion, and character, inviting you to create your own stories and atmospheres.

With the Engine Player you experience a modern interface that is intuitive and directly supports your creativity. The Microtuning module opens the doors to authentic scales and tunings from the region, allows you to save your own presets, and makes every note a rich and expressive performance.

The library contains over 2,000 high-quality samples and up to six true legato types per instrument, allowing for fluid, expressive, and cinematic performance. 21 soundscapes with 2 to 6 layers unfold into dynamic, evolving textures that can be freely shaped.

Whether it is desert winds, mysterious ruins, or mystical places, each soundscape transports you to its own living world. The videos for each instrument show how expressive and vibrant Desert Winds sounds, inspiring you to play and experiment yourself.

Highlights:

  • Four solo wind instruments: Armenian Duduk, Persian Ney, Turkish Ney, Zourna.
  • Over 2,000 high-quality samples for rich, expressive sound.
  • Up to 6 true legato types per instrument for fluid, emotional performance.

Good Sounds in a terrible engine.

If this library was a Kontakt-App with NKS, it might be acceptable for the price, but unfortunately Bestservice does not focus enough for best engines. Even on a classic iMac 2017 configuration (bigSur/Intel) the Engine does not provide an acceptable and readable surface scale, sliders and knobs do not run liquid, the usability is unusual and strange, my Komplete S61-Keyboard, same age as the library is not shown in standalone-mode, only as plugin.

The library is only an extract of "Ancient Era-Persia", the price is, comparing to the content & performance, far too expensive. The solo instruments are partly good, flutes are not convincing, but Duduk is a good Adaption.
Nevertheless, the Ambiences are really convincing and match the Focus of the Library.

In times where Crossgrades of NI Komplete Ultimate 13 are sold for 550€, the full price of Desert Winds is a mystery.

The library urgently needs an update after 9 years and f.e. a Version for a professionel Surface like Kontakt, Halion etc. the quality of the material wood justify this.

Got it during a sale for less than half the original price, and it's great! Up to now all soundscapes I checked are really useful, esp. winds are realistic with some parameters to customize. And the wind instruments sound very natural. To be able to choose from microtuning scales makes them sound even more realistic. A worthwhile addition, esp. if you are able to purchase discounted, for composers and producers in need for natural sounding ambiences and exotic moods.
