Conclusing the four-part "Daniela Mars Flutes" series is the alto flute. The flute's warmer, deeper sounding cousin... just as beautiful in melodic lines, but with an extra warmth and roundness to the sound.
Enjoy full expressive control over vibrato, embouchure pressure/air pressure, legato style, note shaping with four stunning mic positions to compliment your music.
Blend your sound with four brilliant mic positions, ranging from jazz and pop-suitable dry, to score-ready Decca tree and ambient room sound.
In this instrument you will control and blend between sounds captured by some of the greatest recording equipment in the world.
The Daniela Mars Alto Flute library impresses 15.2GB of high-quality sample content (compressed), meticulously designed to provide a rich and versatile foundation for musical creation.
Featuring three types of legato (non-vibrato, slow vibrato, and fast vibrato) and six sustain shapes (including accents and vibrato variations), this library offers 18 variations per note in the sustains. Each legato mode also has three dynamic layers that can be seamlessly blended using MIDI CC1 (modulation wheel) for expressive performance possibilities.
The staccato mode is notably expansive, offering 16 round-robin variations across five dynamic layers, resulting in 80 variations per note. This extensive array allows for nuanced and dynamic staccato performances, enhancing the expressive range of the flute.
Twelve unique articulations, plus additional control layers for air sound and key noise, provide detailed sound customization options.
Extended techniques, such as spoken syllables, triple tongue playing, and flutter tongue technique, are included to broaden the expressive palette.
The library offers four microphone positions: close, an original rare Neumann M50s decca tree, a farther decca tree, and a room position, enabling detailed spatial adjustments.
The user interface of the Daniela Mars Flute library is designed for ease of use, featuring color customization to match DAW track colors for better workflow integration. This intuitive GUI aids in effective session organization and elevates the user experience.
To utilize this library, a full version of Kontakt 5 or later is required. It is compatible across all operating systems, with a recommended minimum of 4GB RAM to ensure optimal performance.
