SUONOPURO PAN FLUTE
Virtual
Pan Flute for Electronic Wind
Instruments or Keyboards
(Full version of NI Kontakt 4.1.1 or higher required)
Introduction
Suonopuro
Pan Flute is a
sample-based instrument
for NI Kontakt, emulating an
ancient flute consisting of
multiple pipes of gradually
increasing length, also called
Syrinx. The pan
flute is named after Pan, the
Greek god of nature often depicted
with such an instrument. He is the
God of shepherds.
Suonopuro Pan Flute uses complex algorithms to emulate all the expressive possibilities of this instrument: staccato, legato, glissando, crescendo, diminuendo, etc. The result is a
realism and playability of the
highest level.
Like its more complex cousins of
Ancient Flutes Collection it has
many functions, including
two configurable parallel voices
as used by great EWI player
Michael Brecker.
It does not require
complex configurations or
problematic ways of playing:
you just play your MIDI instrument
and the virtual flute will do the
legato and staccato, crescendo and
diminuendo, piano and forte,
vibrato, portamento, etc.
You can also crossfading from pp
to ff and
conversely without hearing
2 notes anytime.
It works with any MIDI controller
but it is specifically
designed for two kinds of
MIDI controllers:
electronic wind instruments
(like the Akai EWI or the Yamaha
WX5) and keyboards.
