Irish Tin Whistle

A sample Kontakt library of an irish tin whistle. It has two articulations: short and sustain. You can add some plate reverb or turn it completely off. It has only one velocity layer: first, because I couldn't play softer and second, because I think it's sufficient. If you hit harder on the keyboard you'll get the octave and can play octave passages faster.

The story

„You gotta start somewhere“, that’s what I thought when I looked at the, to be honest, quite cheap Irish Tin Whistle. But I didn’t think about learning to play it. I thought about starting my first virtual instrument project.
Through recording on hot summer days, “cleaning” and cutting the samples, making them work in Kontakt, installing keyswitches, scripting knobs, buttons, designing the gui and many obstacles that I thought I couldn’t overcome, I present my first small Kontakt library. Feel free to be creative tweak and create music or some new instrument of your own with it.

It is my gift to the world and the motto of my virtual tin whistle story is: “Never give up!”

  • Most excellent!

    I was actually looking for something else and stumbled across this...and was thinking about buying a plugin for this. No need now, thanks! I wish you had laid out all the notes instead of having to play harder for another octave (and defaulting to the higher octave seemed a bit odd, as it's just the opposite on a real tin whistle), but that's a minor quibble. Again, well done!
