Patron Exclusive: Flute x Violin

Last spring, as I was walking through the flea market in Philadelphia, I stumbled on a vendor who had dozens of wooden flutes for sale. At the time, I didn't find it all that exciting. In fact, since I had already bought a bunch of stuff at the market that day, I was about to walk on, but then, at the last minute, I changed my mind and bought a couple. I brought them home, put them on the shelf in my studio, and promptly forgot about them. Well anyway, a few weeks ago, I rediscovered them on the same shelf where I had left them almost a year before. On a whim, I decided to record a few notes with them, and was pleasantly surprised at their pleasant breathy timbres. I especially liked the way that they sounded when combined with traditional strings, so I decided to make a sample library.

This library contains four presets:

Flute (only): Just the flutes.
Flute x 2 AF Violins: This is the flute combined with my two records of my Swiss Alfred Fallet violin with heavy vibrato.
Flute x 4 Violins: This is my favorite patch. It consists of the flutes combined with four different violins (minimal vibrato).
Flute x 2 Long Violins: The flute combined with the long violin I build in this video.

As always, you can download the sample library through the Decent Sampler plug-in, assuming you use the same email address for Patreon as you do for DecentSamples.
