Welcome to our Claire Virtuoso Woodwind series created by Emmy nominated composer Colin O’Malley. The Claire Woodwind Series is an in-depth collection of the finest virtuoso solo woodwind instruments. These are very playable instruments, filled with sincere emotions, easy and balanced behavior.
Our Alto Flute Virtuoso is the most expressive, playable and realistic Alto-Flute ever tried. The Virtuoso VST alt-flute was recorded in the symphony hall and contains three microphone positions (Close, Decca, Wide). The basis of the instrument is its very advanced legato system, which includes both the lyrical and the strong legato. The legato system allows you to play legato with passionate sustain. We recorded arcs with both light, medium, and strong vibrato, so that you can freely sculpt your performance from thin to bright. In addition, we also added trills, runs, staccatissimo, marcato and even non-tonal effects such as breathing, valve sounds, natural click noises, etc.
Advanced Legato
Claire Alto-Flute Virtuoso is based on a highly intuitive, playable and expressive legato system. We sampled a variety of different types of dramatic arcs that are all connected to the legato system, so you can go between sustains that are gentle (p-mp), to strong (f-ff) or sustain types with less or more vibrato. All these articulations can seamlessly be connected while you are playing using our highly advanced legato system.
Claire Alto Flute Virtuoso contains three microphone positions (Close, Decca, Wide) and everything was sampled at 96Khz, which provides an unprecedented detail in the sound and reveal details that would otherwise have been lost at lower resolutions. The fidelity of the library is especially revealing once you start combining the microphones and hear the warmth of the instrument, reflections of the room, the air and all the tiny, little details so often missed.
