Sonora Cinematic releases "Atlas Flutes" World Winds Toolbox with Intro Offer

Sonora Cinematic has announced the release of Atlas Flutes, a collection of world woodwinds that focuses on short, almost percussive and textural, articulations.

This instrument for the free Kontakt Player is inspired by the work of legendary film composer James Horner and features six instruments, plus never-sampled-before articulations and a unique Performance Mode which makes it possible to add woodwinds to your musical creations in new ways.

Atlas Flutes features an alto flute, a bass flute, a Kaval, a West African flute, a Quenacho and Pan Pipes all meticulously recorded, programmed and delivered in the styles typically heard in film, game and other media soundtracks.

Each instrument can play Marcato, Staccato, Staccatissimo, Swells in two or three different durations, Sforzando in three different durations, Jet Tones (Bass and Alto Flutes only) and Flutters (Kaval, Bass Flute, Alto Flute and West African Flute only).

Sonora Cinematic also recorded Kaval and Bass Flute textures that vary from purely acoustic improvisations to designed, hybrid soundscapes. Users can control the X-Y pad to morph between them and create distinctive sounds ranging from disturbing, dark and haunting to light, airy and uplifting.

A unique feature of Atlas Flutes is the Performance Mode designed to significantly speed up workflows. Once activated it will control all the selected instrument's short articulations from one single keyboard mapping.

Atlas Flutes is available now with an introductory price of £69 (normally £89) until 30th November 2022.
