BEAUTIFUL EXOTIC FLUTES
Included in this collection are five of our favourite gems from Andy's exhaustive collection of curiosities: Fujara, Ocarina, Chinese Bamboo Flute, the haunting Contrabass Flute and the unique Shakuhachi, recorded on a dry stage at Spitfire Studios.
After having trained as an orchestral flautist at the Royal College of Music, Andy Findon developed a keen interest in exotic, lesser known flutes and wind instruments. He now plays principal flute for The National Symphony Orchestra, and has performed for a wide range of renowned international artists, composers, arrangers and producers.The early 80s saw the start of his work with the Michael Nyman Band, and his West End credits include work in numerous Andrew Lloyd Webber productions.
GUIs
The Overview Panel
This is the main interface for melodic instruments. Its default view displays all available playing techniques, has a simple microphone mixer and includes the main feature controllers.
General Controls Panel
This view allows further in-depth control of the instrument, showing all available signals and feature controllers, as well as the ability to purge techniques from memory to reduce system usage.
The Ostinatum
In this view you can add notes to a pattern sequencer, select which key it triggers on and then play for instant ostinato creation. It’s like an arpeggiator on a synthesiser.Product Reviews
