01Overview

Little Wooden Flutes draws on two flute traditions. The Indian venu was recorded dry in a studio, and the Native American plains flutes were captured in a large sanctuary hall with multiple mic positions. Beyond the raw flute recordings, the library includes ambiences, atmospheres, tuned pads and other melodic instruments built from the same source material. The instruments are designed for use in any style or for sound design, and they run inside Kontakt with an open format that allows user customization.

Flute Sound and Articulations

The library includes multi-sampled sustains and staccatos in normal, trill and overtone styles, with multiple round robin. The sustains offer natural decay and infinite sustain, and an extended range sustain pad preset is included.

The Indian venu is a seven-hole flute carved from rosewood, tuned in C minor, which the developer describes as giving it a warmer, fuller sound than typical bamboo venus. The Native American plains flutes, in D and G minor, are described as mellower and darker, yet capable of powerful trills, overtones and chirps.

Two dry mic types, a cardioid and a condenser, and two hall positions, stage and far, each have independent volume and panning controls.

Phrases, Sequencing and Effects

Live performance phrases can be transposed in pitch, sequenced instantly by pattern, blended with legato and tempo-synced or time-stretched. A phrase sequencer lets you set start and end markers for each slot.

A Multi-FX rack offers chorus, compression, distortion, amp and cab simulation, EQ, delay and reverb. The reverb unit includes 25 creative FX convolutions and 45 live rooms, studios, chambers, cathedrals and halls, with tone, size and mix controls.

A swell control shapes performance dynamics in real time, and every preset shows a real-time waveform display. The instruments are fully automatable, with customizable key switches and GUI controls.
