01Overview

Ocarina de Lapa is a sample-based instrument built around a ceramic ocarina shaped like a macaw. The instrument has an extended mouthpiece and four finger holes, and the developer frames these ceramic flutes as tools once used to communicate with nature, with animal-inspired designs that invite players to mimic forest sounds. The library captures this instrument for use in Kontakt, giving producers a folk wind voice with a distinct, organic character for their tracks.

Because the library is sample-based, the recorded character of the ceramic ocarina carries through to your arrangement. The mic choices let you shape how close or distant the instrument sits in the mix.

Who It Is For and Typical Use

Ocarina de Lapa suits producers who want a world-music or folk wind texture in their productions. Its natural, handmade timbre fits well in ambient, cinematic and acoustic-leaning projects that call for an authentic flute-like voice.

The instrument runs in full Kontakt. Note that the free Kontakt Player will not run it and will only operate in demo mode, so a full Kontakt license is needed for finished work.
