Details

The library features a diverse range of sounds, including clay flutes like the tlapitzalli and huilacapitzli, as well as various percussion instruments such as the ayacachtli and huehuetl. Each instrument is extensively multi-sampled, providing multiple dynamic layers, articulations, and round-robin options. The inclusion of real legato and glissando samples enhances the expressive capabilities of the flutes, allowing for nuanced performances.

Quetzal is built on the Engine Player, which facilitates intuitive control over performance parameters. The Blow Intensity control enables realistic flute articulations, while velocity-sensitive triggers allow for smooth transitions between glissando and standard legato. This thoughtful design supports a seamless workflow, making it suitable for scoring films, documentaries, and other projects that benefit from an immersive soundscape.
