01Overview

Taped Flute is part of KLANG's TAPED collection, instruments built around the character of tape. KLANG describes the sound as a flute recorded through an analogue tape delay, with settings changed during the recording. The result combines a calm layer with a noisy layer, moving away from the clear, elegant tone a flute is usually associated with. The instrument is made for Ableton Live users who want a flute sound with the warmth, saturation and imperfection of tape.

03In depth

A Flute Sound Shaped by Tape Imperfection

KLANG recorded a flute through an analogue tape delay while changing the settings as the recording went on. The developer says this approach produced two layers: a calm one and a noisy one. Together they create a sound the developer calls Taped Flute.

The collection as a whole is built around the warmth, saturation and wow and flutter that come from playing instruments through tape gear. KLANG frames the series as a nostalgic take on tape, and the flute is the most melodic member of that approach. It suits producers looking for a lo-fi, textured melodic voice rather than a pristine orchestral flute.

Requirements for Ableton Live

Taped Flute runs in Ableton Live 10 Suite or above. It will not function in Ableton Live Intro or Standard, so producers on those editions should check their version before purchasing.

Because it is an instrument plugin for Ableton Live, it is best suited to producers who already work in that DAW and want a tape-flavored melodic layer inside their session.
