Legato Fife

A cheap plastic fife from a well known brand. The instrument was sampled by a novice flautist, with a blanket over the head, in a very boxy room using a Zoom H2N portable recorder. This monophonic instrument features 1 velocity layer, 3 round robins and true legato.

Update:
I’ve made some significant changes to the sfz file.

The main changes have been in the timings used for the legato transitions – making them much more snappy. As part of this I’ve also managed to figure out how to have separate release triggers that don’t bleed over the legato transitions, and I’ve balanced some of the sample volumes and attack times.

Other than that I put in velocity sensitivity (that also tracks a filter to change the tone of quieter notes) as suggested by a reviewer – the “dynamics control” controls this, with 0% being full dynamic range, and 100% being no dynamic range. And there are some additional controls – expression and air – on cc11 and cc1 respectively for standard control.

I’m not going to update the zip hosted on pianobook as it takes a while to upload, but you can download just the updated sfz on my github, here: https://github.com/jamesdcheetham/Legato-Flute-sfz [either right click “Legato Fife v 1-2-B.sfz”, then “save linked content as..” OR click the “code” drop down menu and select “download ZIP”

If you want to see any other features just leave a review below and I’ll see if I can get around to it.
