These two products are both selections from the Abbey Road ONE range focussing on pre orchestrated ensemble patches for Woodwinds. So how do the differ?
Articulations:
Vibrant Reeds is more expansive in its included articulations and is one of the selections that includes Mordents in its feature set.
Mordents are fast moving notes between intervals which enable the user to develop fun, fast moving chord shapes. These become more interesting when articulation switching between the different interval types as they create contrasting harmonies.

Instrumentation:
Mysterious Reeds features more instrumentation than Vibrant reeds, giving it a richer, warmer tone than Vibrant Reeds. However there is difference in the performance:
- Clarinets and Oboes play in octaves in Vibrant Reeds,
- Mysterious Reeds they play in unison. The mysterious patches add the octave by introducing a Bassoon into the ensemble.
