Vertigo Flute: Kontakt Flute Instrument by Cinematique Instruments

The Vertigo Flute is built from a blend of 16 flute sound sources. Regular articulations provide a usual flute tone, while Fragile articulations are played very softly. Taped sources are sent through tape devices, and Resampled sources are manipulated by hardware gear. The Avant-Garde set adds articulations with motion inside them.

The Blow articulations contain only the airflow without a pitched tone, which makes them useful for breathy texture layers. Several articulations can be varied in the number of players, so you can shift between a single flute and a larger ensemble within the same sound source.

Because each sound can be mixed, tuned and panned individually, you can build textures that range from subtle tones to more experimental soundscapes.

Beyond tone control, attack and decay, the instrument includes two effect controls named Fog and Retro, which the developer says let the whole instrument sound vintage and rich. The effects section allows you to shape sounds from cozy warm pads to rougher textures.

A Dice option randomizes the instrument for unexpected starting points. The Reverb section offers six reverb types, including several sizes and special types such as an infinite and a deep valley. The mod wheel controls volume.

The manual is built into the instrument interface and opens with the info button, marked 'I'.
