A dimo-covered mokong

Introduction

The New Dizi by Suonopuro is a very expressive and realistic virtual instrument emulating the dizi, a Chinese transverse flute made of bamboo. This virtual instrument is not an upgrade of the previous Dizi E-Flute by Suonopuro, but a completely new instrument, using a new set of samples and a different way of working. Thanks to a new complex algorithm, the New Dizi is more realistic and flexible. Now it has got many more features: 6 octaves of range, 3 levels of samples, the flutter and bending techniques, the “hold 1st note” and “play on release” modalities and more. Like all the virtual instruments by Suonopuro, it can perform two configurable parallel voices as used by great EWI player Michael Brecker. You can also use it as monophonic or polyphonic instrument.

The dizi is widely used in many genres of Chinese folk music, as well as Chinese opera, and the modern Chinese orchestra. What makes the dizi different from all other transverse flutes is the dimo, a membrane taken from the inner wall of the bamboo plant and fastened over the special hole (mokong) between the embouchure hole and the first finger hole. The dimo-covered mokong has a distinctive resonating effect on the sound produced by the dizi, making it brighter and louder, and adding harmonics to give the final tone a buzzing, nasal quality. The Mo-Cong was invented in the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) by Liu Xi, and he named the flute the "Seven Star Tube".

The New Dizi does not require complex configurations or problematic ways of playing. Just play your MIDI instrument as usual and the virtual flute will do the legato and staccato, crescendo and diminuendo, piano and forte, vibrato, portamento, etc.
It can be used with any MIDI controller but is specifically designed for two kinds of MIDI controllers: electronic wind instruments (like the Akai EWI or the Yamaha WX5) and keyboards.

Dr Xiao & Mr Shakuhachi

Introduction

Dr Xiao & Mr Shakuhachi are sample based instruments for the sampler Kontakt by NI, emulating two ancient bamboo flutes from Asia.

The XIAO is a Chinese vertical end-blown flute. It first appeared in the Han dynasty (206 bc–220 ad). The xiao is general made of purple bamboo and has a graceful and mellow sound.

The SHAKUHACHI is a traditional Japanese bamboo flute that was originally derived from the Chinese xiao in the 8th century. The shakuhachi’s blowing end is cut obliquely outward, so that subtle varieties of tone colour can be produced. The bell (flared end) consists of the trunk of the bamboo plant with its root ends. The shakuhachi is capable of producing loud, penetrating and breathy tones.

Dr Xiao & Mr Shakuhachi are two very realistic and responsive virtual instruments, achieved with the typical care and attention to detail of the high end hand-made instruments. They can be used as monophonic or polyphonic instruments, and can perform two configurable parallel voices as used by great EWI player Michael Brecker.

They do not require complex configurations or problematic ways of playing. Just play your MIDI instrument as usual and the virtual flutes will do the legato and staccato, crescendo and diminuendo, piano and forte, vibrato, portamento, etc.
They can be used with any MIDI controller but are specifically designed for two kinds of MIDI controllers: electronic wind instruments (like the Akai EWI or the YamahaWX5) and keyboards.

He has performed on numerous big budget movie soundtracks and with the world's top recording artists like Michael Breaker, John Williams, Stewart Copeland, James Newton Howard, The Jellow Jackets and many others. He wrote: "I like the Xiao and love the shakuhachi! You have a very musical and sensible approach to what is going to feel and sound right on a wind controller."

Suonopuro Bansuri

Introduction

Virtuoso bansuri player Hariprasad ChaurasiaThe bansuri is an ancient transverse flute of India made from a single hollow shaft of bamboo. It is mostly used in Indian classical music. References to the bansuri are found in the texts of the 3000 year old holy scriptures of the Hindus: the Vedas. The bansuri is considered to be divine and is intimately linked to lord Krishna and Radha. It is believed that when lord krishna played his flute, the beautiful sound had a spellbinding and enthralling effect not only on women but also on animals. Krishna is most often depicted with this flute in Buddhist paintings dating back 2000 years.

Suonopuro Bansuri is an electronic version of this ancient flute, working as a sample library for the sampler Kontakt by Native Instruments. It differs from the other sound libraries because it is more realistic and responsive. Indeed, it is designed especially for live performing, made by combining the best coding and recording technologies with the typical care and attention to detail of the high-end handmade instruments.

From version 2.3 Suonopuro Bansuri can be used both in monophonic (more realistic) or polyphonic mode. It can also perform two configurable parallel voices as used by great EWI player Michael Brecker.

It can play in normal mode or in sung style, like the great flautist Ian Anderson of British rock band Jethro Tull.

The virtual bansuri does not require complex configurations or problematic ways of playing: you just play your MIDI instrument and the virtual bansuri will do the legato and staccato, crescendo and diminuendo, piano and forte, vibrato, glissando, etc.

It can be used with any MIDI controller but it is specifically designed for two kind of MIDI controllers: electronic wind instruments (like the Akai EWI or the Yamaha WX5) and keyboards.

Raga Shivranjani on Virtual Bansuri. Thanks to the suggestions of an Indian bansurist, in 2016 Suonopuro Bansuri was completely renovated. Now it is so expressive that you can play a real Indian raga with it.

The Freesk

Introduction

Four Hand-made Sicilian FlutesThe Freesk is a sample based instrument for NI Kontakt, emulating an ancient little flute of Sicily called Zufolo or, in Sicilian, Friscalettu.

To extend the limited range of this kind of flute the Freesk was made combining four zufolos tuned in different keys. These flutes were made by hand from very seasoned reeds. In particular the one tuned in A, that is the primary, was made with a hundred years old reed.

The Freesk is a very realistic and responsive virtual musical instrument, achieved with the typical care and attention to detail of the high end handmade instruments. Like the Suonopuro Bansuri, to be more realistic, it is a monophonic instrument, but it can perform two configurable parallel voices as used by great EWI player Michael Brecker.

It does not require complex configurations or problematic ways of playing: you just play your MIDI instrument and the virtual flute will do the legato and staccato, crescendo and diminuendo, piano and forte, vibrato, portamento, etc.

The recorder

Introduction

Jacob Jordaens, Three musicians. 17th century. The recorder is a woodwind instrument of the group known as fipple flutes. It was popular in Renaissance period through baroque era, but declined in the 18th century.

Many composers of the baroque era wrote specifically for the recorder, including Bach, Handel, Purcell, Sammartini, Scarlatti, Schütz, Telemann and Vivaldi.

The recorder was revived in the 20th century, partly in the pursuit of historically informed performance of earlymusic, but also because of its suitability as a simple instrument for teachingmusic.

Suonopuro Recorder is an electronic version of this ancient instrument, very realistic and responsive, achieved with the typical care and attention to detail of the high-end handmade instruments.

You can choose to play Suonopuro Recorder in monophonic mode (more realistic) or polyphonic mode.
It can also perform two configurable parallel voices as used by great EWI player Michael Brecker.

It does not require complex configurations or problematic ways of playing: you just play your MIDI instrument and the virtual recorder will do the legato and staccato, crescendo and diminuendo, piano and forte, vibrato, glissando, etc.

It can be used with any MIDI controller but it is specifically designed for two kinds of MIDI controllers: electronic wind instruments (like the Akai EWI or the YamahaWX5) and keyboards.

Pan Flute

Introduction

Suonopuro Pan Flute is a sample-based instrument for NI Kontakt, emulating an ancient flute consisting of multiple pipes of gradually increasing length, also called Syrinx. The pan flute is named after Pan, the Greek god of nature often depicted with such an instrument. He is the God of shepherds.

Suonopuro Pan Flute uses complex algorithms to emulate all the expressive possibilities of this instrument: staccato, legato, glissando, crescendo, diminuendo, etc. The result is a realism and playability of the highest level.

Like its more complex cousins of Ancient Flutes Collection it has many functions, including two configurable parallel voices as used by great EWI player Michael Brecker.
It does not require complex configurations or problematic ways of playing: you just play your MIDI instrument and the virtual flute will do the legato and staccato, crescendo and diminuendo, piano and forte, vibrato, portamento, etc.
You can also crossfading from pp to ff and conversely without hearing 2 notes anytime.
It works with any MIDI controller but it is specifically designed for two kinds of MIDI controllers: electronic wind instruments (like the Akai EWI or the Yamaha WX5) and keyboards.
