(Click for a close-up)

As part of their all-new Modular Series, Westgate Studios is proud to announce the release of The Flutes Module. This library for Gigastudio 3.1 and Kontakt 2.1 features 24-bit samples recorded using the same methods as the previous Oboes Module. On the DVD you will find a comprehensive set of patches for Solo Piccolo, Solo Flute, Solo Alto Flute and Flute Section.

The most important feature of this library is the Legato playing style. These patches contain not only expressive long notes, but also true legato interval samples that were recorded as the musicians played every note up and down from 1 half-step all the way up to a full octave. And the good news is that you don't have to load any special tools to control them because the Legato effect is powered by Gigastudio's iMIDI rules and Kontakt's scripting engine. But it doesn't end there. Within this same instrument you can vary the Attack Strength of each note, control the use of Release Samples, and play Same-Note Legato Repetitions in any rhythm or tempo. With The Flutes Module, the focus was to pack as many features into each instrument while still keeping them easy to use.

Along with these highlights you'll also find Staccato and Marcato articulations, Flutter-tongue, Trills, Runs, Stabs and changing dynamics such as Crescendo, Diminuendo, and Fortepiano. The Flutes Module also includes Overblown Staccatos for that signature "Jazz Flute" sound.
