01Overview

KLANG built TAPED: Taped Flute around the nostalgic feel of tape. The instrument is based on a flute recorded through an analogue tape delay, with the settings changed during the recording. The result combines a calm layer with a noisy layer, so the sound moves away from the clear, elegant tone most people expect from a flute. It fits producers looking for warmth and imperfection rather than a pristine acoustic timbre.

03In depth

Sound and character of the taped flute

Flutes usually bring to mind clean, elegant tones. KLANG takes a different route here. The flute was run through an analogue tape delay while the settings were adjusted during the recording, which introduces variation over the course of the performance.

The two layers work together. The calm layer keeps a recognizable flute melody, while the noisy layer adds grit and texture underneath. The developer describes the sound as unique, and the combination of layers is the main reason it departs from a conventional flute patch.

Using TAPED flute in a Kontakt setup

TAPED: Taped Flute is a Kontakt Instrument, so it runs inside Native Instruments Kontakt rather than as a standalone program. It is a good fit for producers who want an organic, lo-fi lead or texture for lo-fi, nostalgic or experimental productions.

Because the character comes from the recorded tape processing, the instrument is best judged on its own tone and how it sits in a mix. Plan on using the full version of Kontakt, since the free Kontakt Player will not run it beyond demo mode.
