SWAM VariFlute

I play the flute and EWI, and own several of the flutes modeled by this virtual instrument (concert flute, soprano and alto recorder, pan flute, tin whistle, and shakuhachi). (I also own the SWAM English Horn for iOS.) Because I'm a flautist, I suppose I'm more of a purist than most producers - so keep that in mind when reading my comments. When played with a keyboard, the sounds could pass for the real instrument in a mix, but are less useful for a solo. With the EWI, it might pass for a short solo, but again, it would really sound best in a mix. The instrument editor is fairly flexible. I also play the quena, ney, lakota, and fife. Although I haven't tried it yet, I see no reason these couldn't also be modeled with this software. As with all virtual instruments, take time to learn the range, notes, and special features of each instrument for best results. The main advantage of this is that it covers many timbres of flute sounds in one virtual instrument. The intro price of $39 made buying this a no brainer for me.
