Marcel's Flute Shop for Reason 3.04 and up consists of 2 Reason refills that are
also available separately!
the "Sonic Flutes" refill:
5 beautiful flutes carefully sampled and programmed for extreme high realism while
played on your keyboard.
the "Fluity Loops" refill: Over 350 loops and phrases performed by Marcel Ebbers on
those same 5 flutes. All loops and phrases are .wave-files programmed for the NNXT
sampler. (soon available for other sequencer hosts as well!)
All Loops and flute patches are embedded in combinator patches and have gotten the
same treatment using EQ, dynamics and effects for full integration of loops and your
keyboard playing within one track.
Our Marcel's Flute Shop refills are great for lots of styles: Celtic, Chinese, Indian,
Arabian, African, jazz, film scoring, dance etc.
Sonic Flutes and Fluity Loops can be purchased separately.
Marcel's Flute Shop is a growing library: more loops and flutes will be added. There
will be upgrade discounts for those who will step in right now by purchasing
Marcel's Flute Shop.
BAMBOO
This beauty is a souvenir Marcel's friend Harding bought from the Anjuna Fleamarket
in Goa, India. Harding and Marcel share this generous habit of giving eachother
instruments, soundcards and lots of other fine stuff as a present. The Sonic Flutes
Bamboo version counts 10 velocity/alt layers and is a great instrument to play on
your keyboard. It certainly isn't the real thing (yet!) but fine enough to give
you some nice shivers while playing. Great for all kinds of ethnic styles but also
great for jazzy stuff.
SNIPER
Marcel bought this warm and full sounding flute online from Irish flute builder
Michael Cronnely. "Sniper" is a nickname Marcel gave his instrument since it
takes some time to assemble the flute from several parts whenever he wants to play
it. The Sniper has many, many sonic faces and characters. It can be gentle and
fragile but also strong, masculine and agressive. The Sonic Flutes Sniper patch
has 9 velocity/alt layers for great realism when played on your keyboard.
The samples are not looped and last as long as Marcel's breath could hold it in a
natural way. We just didn't want to add any supernatural features and keep the
patch as realistic and playable as possible. The original tuning is D major. Even
the sampled Sniper sounds best in D major, B minor or E minor or G major. While
sampling this instrument we didn't want to devastate its beautiful natural pitch
too much by using auto tuning gear since this would also affect its sound
character too much. You'll be fully cool while playing in above mentioned keys and
if you are in let's say C minor and you hear a slightly out of tune note here and
there, then thank the Lord for giving us real instruments to sample :)
(and maybe consider to transpose your track -1 half note anyway because if Marcel
would be in your studio to track some flutes, he just might be gently asking for
this too)
SOPRANINO
This small recorder has an innocent and friendly tone. It's an original German
Moeck stemming from a costly mysterious unknown French Ardennian collection from
unknown and forgotten times. Play this sopranino Moeck and step into distant
Renaissance times.
FEADOG
FeadÕg (Irish for whistle or flute) can be described as an end blown fipple flute,
putting it in the same category as the recorder and Native American flutes. This
tin whistle was a present Marcel got from his wife Sylvie when they were on a
romantic surprise trip to Dublin.
CLARKE
The first Tinwhistle was invented around 1840 in the tiny village of Coney Weston,
in England. Robert Clarke, a poor farm labourer owned and played a small wooden
whistle. He heard that a new material called tinplate had been invented. He asked
his friend the blacksmith if he could obtain some tinplate and show him how to
reproduce his wooden whistle, using this new metal product. The new Tinwhistle
played so well that Robert decided to begin a business manufacturing these
instruments. He also heard that there were big opportunities for manufacture
in Lancashire. Together with his son, he walked all the way from Coney Weston to
Manchester, pushing his tools and materials in a handbarrow. On the way he stopped
in villages where there were markets and made the Tinwhistles. These he sold to
villagers. Sometimes he met navigators, Irish labourers who were building railways
and canals, and sold his Tinwhistles to them. These Irishmen took them back to
Ireland, where the English Tinwhistles rapidly became Ireland's favourite folk
instrument. When Robert reached Manchester he set up his factory in a shed and
soon became a successful manufacturer. Later he built two houses, a factory, and
a church in New Moston, a nearby village. By then he was a very wealthy man. All
from making the instrument that everyone wanted to play.
Notes to the Fluity Loops refill
The 350+ loops and phrases are subdivided in 20 construction sets. Each set contains
10 to 30+ loops and/or phrases that are played on the same instrument in the same
style and mood. The tempo based samples always start exactly on the first beat of
a bar, even if there is no sound played yet. This means that you will always be in
time when you hit the sample on the first beat.
