Whistles

Whistle Library with True Legato+

Whistles is a sample library for high D, high C, and low F whistles, designed for use in a range of musical contexts. It features the True Legato+ sampling method for natural note transitions, along with additional legato options for different playing styles. Each instrument includes a range of articulations, ornaments, trills, and two vibrato speeds. Six microphone positions offer adjustable sound blending, while the VISAGE 3 engine provides detailed control over legato behavior, dynamics, tuning, and effects. The library also supports pitch bend ornaments and integrates with NKS-compatible keyboards.
