Add woodwinds to your musical creations in new and exciting ways.

Developed in collaboration with German film composer Christoph Zirngibl, who originally created the library for his score on the hugely successful animation film Mia and Me: The Hero of Centopia, Atlas Flutes is an intriguing collection of world woodwinds that focuses on short, almost percussive and textural, articulations. 

This captivating instrument for the free Kontakt Player is inspired by the work of legendary film composer James Horner and features six instruments, plus never-sampled-before articulations and a unique performance mode which make it possible to add woodwinds to your musical creations in new and exciting ways. 

"It is a great library!! I am sure it will find many places in a new Pixar movie that I am contributing to." - Steven Tavaglione, Sound Designer, Composer and co-founder of the Latin fusion group Caldera
