Ayahuasca Flutes: Kontakt Flute Instrument by Loot Audio

The instrument layers flute tones with a broad set of articulations. Sustains come with sustained vibrato and overtone variations, including overtone sustains and overtone flutters. Trills are available in full and half versions, and crescendo articulations include standard, overtone and vibrato options.

Short-form articulations include staccato, bursts and overtone bursts, along with flutters and ornaments. Phrases, falls and risers give you ways to build transitions and movement within a part.

Beyond the core flute articulations, the library includes dissonances and a set of textured sounds such as crazy, breath, crying, birds and howl. These give the instrument its surreal, jungle-like character and can be used as accents or background atmosphere.

The FX and expression category adds further sound design material for producers who want to push the sound beyond a conventional flute.

Ergo Kukke positions the instrument for film scoring, spiritual music, Psy Trance and Techno. The developer describes the sounds as haunting and transcendental, which suits ambient and downtempo productions as well as darker cinematic cues. Because the articulations cover both sustained and short-form playing, the instrument can serve melodic lines, rhythmic bursts and sound design in the same project.
