Musical Sampling - Atelier Series: Gabrielle Flute

True legato flute library performed by Gabrielle Davis

• Legato flute
• Performed with natural, progressive vibrato
• “Natural” and “Tuned” patch variations
• Recorded close for mixing flexibility
• Adjustable reverb of custom hall impulse

Recorded at Orb Studios in Austin, TX – the 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 the solo instrument releases from the Atelier Series, 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, Musical Sampling 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 the Barker Clarinet release, Musical Sampling 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. 

Included Patches
