Atlas Flutes Black Friday pricing is $52.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026, on a six-instrument world woodwind library for the free Kontakt Player.
It was developed with German film composer Christoph Zirngibl, who first built it for his score to the animated film Mia and Me: The Hero of Centopia. The maker says it is inspired by the work of film composer James Horner.
The library focuses on short, almost percussive and textural articulations rather than long sustained lines.
You get six instruments:
The maker says they are recorded, programmed and delivered in the styles you hear in film, game and other media soundtracks.
Every instrument covers marcato, staccato and staccatissimo. Swells come in two or three different durations, and sforzandos come in three.
Jet tones are available on the bass and alto flutes only. Flutters are available on the kaval, bass flute, alto flute and West African flute.
The maker says some of these articulations have never been sampled before.
Performance mode puts all of the selected instrument's short articulations on a single keyboard mapping. Press a button and the keys are remapped.
The left side of the keyboard sets the pitch. The right side triggers the notes: marcato, staccato and staccatissimo sit on the white keys, swells and sforzandos on the black keys.
Swells in this mode are tempo synced to your host and land on the beat. That makes tight ostinatos quick to program.
Beyond the short articulations, the library includes Kaval and Bass Flute textures. They range from purely acoustic improvisations to designed, hybrid soundscapes.
An X-Y pad lets you morph between them. The maker describes the results as running from disturbing, dark and haunting to light, airy and uplifting.
Atlas Flutes is a Powered-by-Kontakt Player Edition and needs Kontakt Player 7.7 or higher. The free Kontakt Player supports it as VST, AU and AAX.
If you use a Sonora Cinematic NKS product, the maker lists a free Panorama Hybrid serial with such purchases. Activate the NKS product in Native Access first so the serial works.
Yes. The Atlas Flutes Black Friday deal is 50% off, bringing the price to $52.50. It runs until Dec 6, 2026. The library is a Kontakt Player instrument with six world woodwinds and short, textural articulations.
The collection covers six flutes in total, with Pan Pipes, a Quenacho, a Kaval and a West African flute joined by alto and bass models. Each plays short articulations, and the maker also includes Kaval and Bass Flute textures.
Performance mode maps all of an instrument's short articulations onto one keyboard layout. The left side sets the pitch, the right side triggers notes. Swells sync to your host tempo, which helps with tight ostinatos.
It runs in the free Kontakt Player, version 7.7 or higher, as VST, AU or AAX. The maker calls it a Powered-by-Kontakt Player Edition, so a full Kontakt licence is not part of the requirements.
