Hello, i have for a long time tried to emulate the vangelis flute used in 1492 conquest of paradise:

But i need help, cant find any vst that have this great fat vibrato sound.
Could anybody please help me?
I need it so badly for a project im working on, and im out of ideas.

I don't hear an obvious "flute with great fat vibrato" in that clip, where is it?
I also suspect that most of the sounds on that clip were not in fact generated by VSTs, although you might still find a VST that comes close.

From 0:23 onwards? Sounds like a cross between a flute and an oboe. Try layering an alto flute and an oboe. The trick is to use the low register of the flute.

I don't hear any particularly fat vibrato there - that's what threw me. Hard to say, sounds more like a clarinet than an oboe, but layered with the strings. Might even be a soprano sax.

I think its a oboe.

I have tried edirol, sampletank but its not even close to that sound.

Try the ME80. It's an emulation of the CS80. Preset Sad Sally sounds close.

If I remember correctly Vangelis hired quite a few "ethnic" musicians when recording this album so I would guess most (if not all) of flutes are natural.

Vangelis has used that Oboe for a long time.
Its in the bounty.
I think you can hear the same on in this video at 1.58

I'm looking forward to Journey to Ithaka. Should be interesting. Hope it doesn't get cancelled!
