Gabrielle Flute is a true legato flute library performed by Gabrielle Davis.
Recorded at Orb Studios in Austin, TX – our goal was to create a series of flute patches that could address a wide range of orchestral contexts while prioritizing responsive playability. Like all of our solo instrument releases, no keyswitches are required – just play in what you want and use the modwheel (or CC# of your choice) for dynamics.
The ‘Workhorse’ patch is exactly that – a solid all-rounder that will likely suit the majority of your energetic flute-writing needs. ‘Emotional’ was performed mezzo piano – great for softer contexts. For the ‘Fat Lead’ patch, we asked Gabrielle to play with as much gusto and power as she could – resulting in an instrument that soars in the upper register with attacks that properly bite.
Like with our Barker Clarinet release, we recorded a series of short and long inhales with both the player and flute in position. Great patch to help sell the performance in between phrases.
Patches:
– Workhorse
– Emotional
– Fat Lead
– Breaths – Short & Long
With the Workhorse and Fat Lead patches, velocity 1-100 will trigger a starting sustain with progressive vibrato. Velocity 101-127 will trigger a starting sustain with a more immediate vibrato. Playing a starting sustain in the lower velocity range between 1-100 will subtly ‘soften’ the attack in the event you want a touch less bite.
These two patches also include round robin attacks for the 1-100 velocity range.
Features:
– Legato flute
– Performed with natural, progressive vibrato
– “Natural” and “Tuned” patch variations
– Recorded close for mixing flexibility
– Adjustable reverb of custom hall impulse
