Silverwood is a synthesizer that mimics acoustic wind instruments. It contains
no oscillators or envelope generators. Instead, it creates sounds using
waveguide physical modeling synthesis, and is activated by a wind or breath
controller. It is monophonic.
Please note that without a wind or breath controller, Silverwood will make no
sound. If no such controller is available, a 'KB Test' button will let MIDI note-on
events trigger the model instead.
Five physical models are included: brass, saxophone, clarinet, flute, and
recorder. After a sound is created by a model, it passes through an equalizer
that mimics the bell of an acoustic instrument.
The snapshots include these acoustic instrument emulations:
Brass: Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Tuba, Cornet, Flugelhorn, Euphonium
Saxophones: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone
Double Reeds: Oboe, English Horn, Bassoon
Clarinets: Clarinet, Bass Clarinet
Flutes: Piccolo, Flute, Bass Flute
Other Pipes: Pan Pipes, Irish Whistle, Shakuhachi
Other Reeds: Uilleann Pipes, Scots Pipes, Accordion, Harmonica
Each snapshot responds to MIDI breath pressure (on CC2) and pitchbend data.
Various other MIDI control sources are supported.
Snapshot names indicate the instruments natural range and the pitchbend
effects. For example, the snapshot Trumpet F#3-D6 +screech falloff indicates
that the instrument is a trumpet, that its natural range is from F#3 to D6, that
bending the pitch up adds screech, and that bending the pitch down adds falloff.
The sample mp3 demonstrates the oboe and bassoon emulations.
Many of the mouthpiece and bore designs are based on STK, created by Drs.
Perry Cook and Gary Scavone.
The graphic control elements were created by Vera Kinter, at
http://www.artvera-music.com, and were provided by Bernd Keil.
I wish to acknowledge these whose publications have assisted me in the
creation of this instrument:

Hmm, if the Air Source is set to Breath Control then it should be
responding to CC#2. Try raising the CC#2 values to something high, like
in the 96 to 127 range, because some of the snaps need some serious
pressure to start oscillating.

Hi Chet, none of your Silverwoods are responding to my midi inputs from
keyboard. I can get sounds if I write the midi notes in my sequence and
put it to play but when I press any key in my keyboard along with the BC
it does not work. It remains playing the last note from the sequencer. All
other instruments are working smoothly in my template, including
Serenade, but not Silverwood. Please help!

The demo above sounds wonderful but I only have the demo version of
reaktor and Silverwood doesn't seem to work with it? I have put CC #2
data into the track but no sound with Air source set to Brth Ctrlr. With
volume as the air source it makes a constant note even when the
transport is not moving. However when it does move this note does not
change. KB test produces no sound at all. Do I have to buy reaktor in
order to test this synth?

Chet, thanks for the ideas. That has the effect of narrowing the window in
which it drops an octave, but also narrows the dynamic range. This can
be compensated for with level and gain plugins (I'm using
Logic/Mainstage), but limits the playability. It falls down with input in the
30-40 range. If I remap/transform the input MIDI values to 40-127, then
the effect is almost gone, but again, a more limited dynamic range.
(Bigger than a real oboe, though.)

air pressure/CC2), below 25 percent, the note 'falls down' an octave. In
other words, a minimum air pressure is required to keep it overblown to
the first harmonic. I've tried manipulating Efficiency mod with air
pressure, but that hasn't had the results I'm after getting the right
note even in quiet passages and on a diminuendo. Otherwise it's a joy to
play, once I figured out the pitch bend like Terry did earlier this year.
Thanks.
Excellent engine, Chet. I'm using Silverwood with a Yamaha wind
controller, and am having trouble with the Oboe, English Horn, and
Uillean Pipes they share a characteristic that is giving me grief. At low

Hey Chet, You've done some sonically gorgeous work here. Thanks for
sharing your effort. I'm just getting acquainted with my new EWI4000s.
It's so pleasing to find something geared for wind controllers.I'm still
trying to figure out how to link the vibrato sensor in the mouthpiece to
Silverwood's pitch bend (rather than LFO vibrato)while maintaining a
useable range with the actual pitch bend plates at the thumb rest area.
Thanks again for your fine work!

Hi Chet, I just discovered Silverwood while searching for a Motif Sweet
Flute replacement. Needless to say, sonically your plugin is a big step
forward from what I'm used to, and I am just wrestling with how to
control it using my MIDI keyboard and CCs. If I understand Stuart's
suggestion correctly (#75), when not in KB Test mode, moving a CC
assigned to Breath 002 and pressing any MIDI key on my keyboard will
start a note playing, which can be changed by pressing a different key
but not gated off when pressing and releasing a key. I thought this was a
bug but now think I may have learned something about how breath
controllers work. :-) If so, then as a keyboard player I too would like the
gate feature that Stuart has requested, or perhaps a keyboard ADSR
envelope control for Air Pressure. In any case, thank you for your
exceptional plugin!
2 years ago Chet Singer
Thank you for your kind words, Stuart. I'm currently working on an
update for Silverwood, and am hoping to finish it this summer. I like your
suggestions and will add both high-or-low note priority and optional
note-on gating.
2 years ago Stuart MacNeill
An astounding piece of work, congratulations. I stumbled upon this by a
random web search looking for physically modelled sax plugins for
Reaper. I've been playing with a Yamaha BC-1 for a few years now with a
Korg Z1 and a Yamaha MU100R, but you've managed to surpass both of
these implementations. The modulation available really make the
instruments feel alive, way beyond anything else I've tried. You really
should be selling this, Harm Visser and the guy who does "MilesTone"
2 de 8 03/07/2014 11:44 p.m.
appear to be selling their PM work, you should too, try talking to AAS
about a port to Tassman. Some minor suggestions, I have would be to
make it work with lowset note priority triggering instead of last note, it
makes trills easier (my MU100R does this), also I would like to be able to
gate the breath input using the keyboard, i.e. cut off breath input when
the no keys are pressed, this helps when you want sharp cut off at the
end of a note or phrase. Finally, many thanks for this excellent ensemble,
I totally love it.
Hello. If your hardware is sending volume (cc7) then select
"Volume(cc#7)" from the Air Source drop-down in the Air Pressure
section. Then any other modulation input that is set to "Air Pressure" will
automatically follow it. As for the flutes, the model's geometry supports
only three octaves. If you want to play a high melody, perhaps the
piccolo will do.
2 years ago Vertecs Recordings
This Ens seems to be the one I was looking for. I have big problems to
get a decent Flute sound with my WX5 out of it. Air Source is Volume due
to Hardware settings.Im missing tho whole 4th ocatve. Any tips? Must
be somthing obvious, I guess/hope.
2 years ago chris scott
First and foremost this is absolutely brilliant. Why is there no "11"
available in the voting ? 10 just won't do for this. Thanks. Second, in
reply to Chets response #71 I'm using the free Player that runs in demo
mode and it plays everything. I can also call the .ens files up from
wherever I put them. It even plays reasonably well from my QUERTY
keyboard. Third, Silverwood 3.2 has undoubtedly cemented my purchase
of Reaktor. All I have to do now is find somewhere that will take cash.
(Can't even do paypal now without a bank account !) And finally, thanks
isn't enough. Suffice it to say, I owe you one. And it's a BIG ONE !
Yes, User Library instruments won't run in Reaktor Player; full Reaktor is
required.

Can't believe I didn' find it sooner. I don't think we can thank you enough
Chet. This is simply the best Reaktor ensemble in my opinion and it
sounds better than many libraries and software which cost serious
money. It is simply a hidden gem and to me it sounds even better than
the G2 performances you made. Thanks a lot!
Richard, Silverwood is breath-controlled. You need a breath or wind
controller for it to work.

Chet, are you tempting me to buy a wind controller? :-) One of the best
intruments I've played, thanks for sharing it.
Devin, the flute model has a fixed geometry like an acoustic flute does,
3 de 8 03/07/2014 11:44 p.m.
and won't play below C. But check out the 'bore size' selection box in the
flute model. If you choose a bigger bore, like Bass Flute or Contrabass
Flute, you'll be able to make the geometry larger and play lower notes. It
will probably sound too bright but you can adjust that at each octave.
3 years ago Devin Mooers
Hey Chet, amazing synth! Finally a great physical modeling plug for my
EWI USB. Question: is there any way to extend the playable range of the
flute model down below C5? I'd like to create some low Irish-whistle-type
sounds and large shakuhachi sounds.

this thing is really cool. lucky for me i have access to a wind controller :-)
i did figure out how to reroute the breath to mod, so i was able to play
around with it without a wind controller connected, but i imagine it's FAR
more fun with the wind controller! cheers on making a physically modeled
synth and more points for making a GREAT one!

Simply amazing! Been 'wind synthin' since the beginning of it, and use a
VL1-m, VL70-m, TX802, all with Patchman sounds. This sounds as good
as ANY of them. With a EWI, WX5, 11,or 7 it's imminently tweakable. An
unbelievable piece of work. Kudos!

Lots of controls to learn... i agree with Simon Stockhausen above: start
abusing the controls and you can get amazingly unheard-of sounds! The
snaps/presets are interesting. It's nice to hear a modeled wind/brass
instrument aside from my Yamaha VL70m. They're quite different. My
only complaint might be that the snaps require too much breath pressure
(i like light breath response), but i see that all things are configurable.

10/10 for this incredible Ensemble. If you start abusing it the sounds you
obtain are absolutely unheard of. Really phantastic work Mr. Singer!
Silverwood actually began life as a collection of mix-and-match
mouthpieces and pipes. But each combination needed a separate tuning
table, and that required too much time and effort to build. So I eventually
stripped it down to five fixed models.

I have played sax and clarinet most of my life. I have never found a

of the real thing. I have had a Yamaha WX5 for years. Today is the first
day that I have enjoyed using it. I cannot believe this is free. Cheers on a
brilliant instrument.

I hate to be the ignorant one in the bunch of you but if it needs a breath
controller (whatever that is) why can't we get that? If it would really
make this beautiful ensemble fly, why not?
Michael, to get some immediate sound out of the instrument, choose a
snapshot and change the "Air Source" to the mod wheel. Then use the
mod wheel to inject air into the model. It won't be very expressive, but it
will create sound.
Michael, I have removed version 1.1, which wouldn't download correctly,
to remove any confusion. This instrument requires a breath or wind
controller to operate. If you don't have one, the comments here describe
several workarounds. Hope this helps.

This is a wonderful instrument, and may end up tempting me to invest a
couple hundred clams in a breath controller just to use it. (I tested it by
assigning an expression pedal to CC #2.) My one wish list item would be
that it were not so CPU intensive -- I have to set my latency unusually
high with it.
A breath controller makes an instrument like this come alive. But I'd
borrow and experiment before I'd buy.

This is one of the most unique ensembles for Reaktor I have heard, as it
does PM very well. I think this should turn into a commercial product. I
get around the breath controller by using my knob box on CC2 , although
I have a DX7II, but its not hooked up ATM. Really good job..please keep
up the good work. As an update idea, please add an ADSR so you can use
it without a BC.

Incredible, a work of art. Modded it to work with simultaneous aftertouch
and modwheel modulation, beautiful. I'll be adding an ADSR for even
greater playability. And maybe keeping my eye out for EWIs so I can play
this baby properly!
Hello Michael, I received your error report. I hope the discussion on this
page explains why you weren't getting sound out of the instrument.
CC2, yes, (CC1, CC7, or CC11 can also be selected) because it's the
amount of air pressure entering the model. The pitch wheel is optional,
and is used by the snaps to bring in various effects, like screeches,
falloffs, or growls.
6 years ago ZooTooK .
Fantastic! I've found loads of classical horn music midi files, see link
below. I suppose you need to add the CC2 and pitch wheel controller data
to get some results. http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Choir

Thanks for the encouragement, Jonathan. But NI's rating system is a
complicated formula that takes into account many factors. By that
formula, Silverwood is currently being rated very well. Heh, I couldn't
charge money for it anyway, or else I might receive a friendly letter from
Yamaha's patent attorneys. :)

I'm just curious as to who at NI was smoking illicit substances when they
rated this. If this ensemble, which could easily sell for $100 or more but
is here being distributed free of charge, merits only a "3.42" then, one
wonders, what would a "10" be? An ensemble that negotiates hostage
releases? NI, you absolutely must give this at the *very* least a 4.5, for
the sake of consistency alone. Not a big deal, but the current rating is
simply nonsensical.
6 years ago espen staver
Smiles and more (s)miles, this is incredible! Arturia can take a hike haha.
I first tried the mod wheel and expression ctrl as air source since I do not
have a wind controller either, but I found a gate with a AD env better, as
you mention because of the faster attack. And then I am modulating the
AD instead. Aftertouch is also working wonderfully here. You deserve a
distinguished builder award ;-)
Thanks for the info, Don. I have one of the MIDI Solutions breath
interface boxes. I also have an out-of-production Kurzweil
ExpressionMate which contains a breath interface. They both work great.
The Kurz might be a little more responsive to fast tonguing. I've also
learned that the CME keyboard controllers all have breath control inputs
built right in, but I've never tried one myself.
6 years ago Don Dailey
The VL70-m is the little half-rack version of the VL7 virtual modeling
keyboard, no longer made. The VL70m was intended for use with a WX
controller, mainly good for wind players. It sounds awesome. This
ensemble sounds every bit as good, as far as I can tell without using a
breath controller. I did find this and it might be worth a couple hundred
buck to use with this ensemble (it's that good!) but you can by third
party sounds that are made for it, too. http://www.midisolutions.com

really awsome!
6 years ago Tim Tesar
Chet, thanks for your help. Since I don't have a breath controller, I set up
my MIDI Controller keyboard with CC2 assigned to one of the sliders. And
it works even better to change the "Air Source" setting in Silverwood to
"Mod Whl (cc#1)". I should have figured this out myself! Once again, it
sounds beautiful and thanks.
Don, I'm unfamiliar with a VL70m, but if it can route the BC input data
it's receiving to a MIDI output stream, then yes, it could be used as a
breath-to-MIDI converter. That would be cool.
Chris, in addition to what Jim said, you can also get sound out of it
immediately by setting the air source to the first setting (Mod Wheel).
You'll be able to hear the effects attached to increasing air pressure, such
as the brilliance of the brass instruments. It won't have the speed of
tonguing a breath controller, of course.
6 years ago Der Einmeier
awesome, thanks james, you have always a helping hand, i will give it a
try. thanks again for this ensemble, recently i was searching for some
brass-libraries, but most of 'em aren't affordable if you just want to play
with 'em a bit. so, chets ensemble already made my day!
6 years ago James Clark
You can get sound out of it immediately (no tweaking) by setting the air
source to the third setting (Volume). Chet you might want to add a fifth
setting to the air source, that being a monophonic gate signal. That way
people without breath controllers can play (albeit less expressively).

Chet, I'm wondering if I can use the BC connected to my VL70m and
send "passive" midi data to your ensemble. That is , bypasssing the
sounds in the VL but still sending BC data?
Tim, recorded MIDI signals produced by a wind controller musician would
be adequate to drive the model. It would be best if the musician were
actually playing the ensemble at the time, so they can get a feel for the
behavior of the particular model they're playing. The only signals I used
when creating the MP3 were note-on (to set the pitch), CC2 to provide
the air pressure, and pitchbend to add some vibrato. I used a keyboard
and a BC3A breath controller.
6 years ago Tim Tesar
The .MP3 sounds beautiful! Does anyone know where I can get MIDI files
that will play this instrument? Presumably a MIDI Wind Controller player
can record the MIDI output of his instrument as a .mid file that I could
then play into Silverwood. Alternatively, a description of all the MIDI
inputs used by Silverwood would allow me to create my own .mid file
using a sequencer (Sonar, for example). I can see all the MIDI inputs in
the instrument structure, but it would be a little easier if someone
familiar with MIDI Wind Instruments would provide the details. Thanks!

Great job Chet! The best ensemble of 2008! The brass instruments sound
lovely. The student has become the master...
6 years ago raphael esterson
this is really great. I don't have a breath controller, but even with a
clumsy adsr envelope added, and a little MW action directed to the
pressure mod, this is very satisfying for non breath controller users,
although it can't approach the wonderful expression in your mp3.
Thanks for letting me know. I've re-uploaded it and it seems OK now.

"not a valid file" - mp3 sounds awesome though
