DAL Flute VSTi

Overview

DAL FLUTE is a hybrid flute emulator combining multi-samples of real flutes with a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) engine. Offers control over several parameters allowing you to sculpt new and interesting sounds. 

Features

• Hybrid Synthesis that combines sample-playback engine with native DSP processing. 

• Powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOs give a wealth of creative possibilities.

• Flute Selector: Normal, Bright and Pan Flute modes (Rotary switch selection)

• 24 presets redesigned in a wide range of styles ( 8 for each mode: Normal, Bright and Pan).

• FULL MIDI Automation: Complete MIDI Continuous Controller

• The flute simulation in DAL Flute is controlled by the following parameters:

Sections

LFO2 Section:

• 1 LFO -Low Frequency oscillator- with 6 waveforms (Sine, saw, ramp, triangle, pulse & S&H) + Speed, Pulse Width , Depth.
• 1 LFO -Low Frequency oscillator- with 5 waveforms (Sine, saw, ramp, triangle &  pulse) + Speed, Pulse Width , Depth.

Envelope2 Section:

• Filter Envelope: ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) and Control the amount of the Filter Envelope Generator (Knob setting the Gain of the envelope)
• Amplifier Envelope: ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release)

Moog Filter Section:

• Cutoff Frequency:  Controls the Filter's Cutoff Frequency. 
• Resonance: Emphasizes the Cutoff Frequency. 

Glide / Pitch Section:

• Variable note glide speed.
• Variable Pitch.
• Mono and Retrigger switch: Possibility of turn the synth into Mono Mode and Retrigger switch.
• X-Y axis Glide/Pitch: Drag and Drop option for Glide/Pitch effect, by clicking-and-dragging a point in an X-Y axis.

Miscellaneous Section: 

• Signal's Harmonic Spectrum (Freq. analyser).
• MIDI Channel selector : 1 to 16
• Output Control: Emphasis and Volume knobs.
• Web link button to " register full version" in demo, and web-link to website in registered version.

* Hybrid Method combines mastered multi-samples, normalized and noise-reduced. Based on PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) recordings of real flutes. Full length sustain samples, no loops (natural decay), stored in 16 bits and 44.100 KHz and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) engine.

:= FULL MIDI Automation =: Complete MIDI Continuous Controller (Control of all parameters for use with external hardware control). The following MIDI CC messages are recognized and affect the described parameters:
