01Overview

Los Andes Pan Flutes was developed by Soundiron with Argentinian pan flute performer Alejandro Fatur, who also founded Antara Records. The library covers four flutes across a wide key range: the Toyo for the bass register, the Zanca and Malta for the lower and upper mids, and the Ch'ulli for the soprano range. Each flute can be played alone or as a combined instrument. Thousands of recorded melodic phrases, organized by flute, tempo, key and style, add a ready-made starting point for melodic writing.

Articulations and Playing Styles

The sustains come in clean non-vibrato, vibrato and whispering flautando styles, in both piano and forte dynamics. Three staccato speeds are included for shorter, rhythmic playing. Crescendo and decrescendo expressions and special flute effects are available for shaping phrases over time. All chromatic articulations use round robin, which helps repeated notes sound less mechanical.

The multi-layer interface provides LFO, filter, glide and arpeggiator controls for adjusting the instrument's performance and tone.

Phrases, Effects and Library Contents

Alejandro Fatur recorded thousands of melodic phrases for each flute, more than 10,000 distinct melodic elements in total. You can trigger them from the keyboard or arrange them in the phrase sequencer, with control over tempo, offset, release and pitch.

The library includes 13 master NKI instrument banks, 20 Ambience patches and 20 sound-designed FX and ambient presets. A Kontakt FX rack with convolution reverb offers custom rooms, halls, chambers and FX environments. The package is 6.38 GB installed and contains 16,483 stereo WAV files at 24 bit / 48 kHz.
