The Shan Bawu Is A Sampled Chinese Flute For Kontakt

Embertone has released Shan Bawu, a KONTAKT instrument that samples the Bawu, a Chinese wind instrument that many claim to be similar to a flute and/or clarinet.

Features

• Legato Styles: William recorded an exhaustive set of slurs, slides, and ornaments. These transitions were chosen especially for the bawu.
• Micro Phrases: An Embertone first! There are 4 styles of Micro Phrases, unique mordents/licks envisioned by William Arnold himself!
• Artistic Approach: This instrument was built from the ground up with William’s musical approach. Performances and articulations to match his unique and beautiful style.
• Performance: Shan Bawu is a simple, inspiring, and highly playable virtual instrument… right out of the box! With lots of helpful configuration settings to match your playing style.
• Flexible Control: You like using the modwheel for vibrato and an expression pedal for dynamics? Or a CC2 breath controller instead? Assign it that way and get straight to playing!
