Easy to use user interface
Quetzal transports the sound of ancient civilizations of the Mesoamerican jungle into DAW-based production environments. The carefully programmed user interface makes it easy for you to work with the library so that your creativity can fully unfold. The Blow Intensity control, for example, allows you to create realistic flute performances using the pitchbend wheel.
Most of the multi-sampled flutes have different velocity layers and different attacks triggered via velocity. Glissando legato is also triggered via velocity. Soft velocity triggers glissando and normal velocity triggers regular legato.
