01Overview

Flauta Guetar captures a tubular flute with six finger holes and a beveled mouthpiece, sampled for use in Kontakt. The developer notes that the original instrument is relatively modern, judging by the materials used for its mouthpiece, and that its maker is unknown. It carries a Huetar inscription, a name associated with the indigenous people of Costa Rica's Central Valley. The library is a 570MB download and offers eight Kontakt microphone options, letting you choose how the recorded flute is captured in the mix.

Sample Library Content and Microphone Options

The instrument is built from 108 audio files and 1,536 Kontakt sample files. That layered sample set gives you a detailed picture of the flute across its playing range, with the dense multisample count helping to keep transitions between notes smooth in performance.

The library includes eight Kontakt microphone options. Switching between them lets you shape the recorded tone of the flute without leaving the instrument, so you can test different capture characters before committing to one in your arrangement.

At 570MB, the library is a manageable download for most systems that run Kontakt 7.

Requirements and Setup for Kontakt Users

Flauta Guetar runs inside Kontakt and requires the full version of Kontakt 7 or later. The free Kontakt Player will not run the instrument and will operate in demo mode instead, so a full license is necessary to use the sounds in a project.

The library supports Windows and macOS. The developer lists OS X 10.10 or later on Mac, and Windows 7, 8 or 10 on PC, with an Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 processor. A Pulse installer is required for installation.
