Studio Bass Flute

The bass flute is a very special gem. With its velvety, earthy sound, it expands the flute family to its lowest register, evoking mystery and depth in dramatic music. The bass flute sounds an octave lower than the concert flute and has a characteristically curved headpiece. To hold the heavy instrument, flutist Vera Fischer had to suspend it with two slings during the exhaustive recordings at the Silent Stage.

The library features the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of Studio Woodwinds, offering various short and long notes, legato variants (including fast legatos that let you play trills), dynamic articulations such as crescendos and diminuendos, fp, sfz, sffz, pfp, flutter tongue, trills, repetitions and more.

The Synchron Player’s integrated convolution reverb adds the outstanding ambience of the 540 m² (5,813 sq.ft.) main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna to the dry samples in real-time. Expertly crafted mixer presets place the instrument on its perfect spot on stage, resulting in a production-ready sound “out of the box” that blends seamlessly with the instruments of Studio Woodwinds as well as with every other product in the Synchron Series.
