Details

The library comprises 62 Kontakt instruments, each crafted from pre-recorded phrases that can be layered to simulate a flute trio, duo, or solo performance. It captures a wide pitch and dynamic range, allowing for smooth crossfading from pianissimo to fortissimo using the mod wheel. The instrument also supports real-time performance adjustments through key switches, enabling automatic tempo syncing with various rhythm and scale types.

Two mic positions—close and room—can be selected or blended, providing flexibility in the sound's spatial characteristics. This setup allows for intimate timbres that retain key and breath detail, making it particularly effective for blending with other orchestral libraries to introduce a new layer of realism. The thoughtful design of Perpetuo ensures that it remains highly controllable, offering both the fluidity of recorded phrases and the flexibility of a standard orchestral library.
