Whistler Manual

Welcome to Whistler, the human whistle library. This is a small but powerful library with real whistling samples (no synth sound) to create your own melodies.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE SAMPLE PLAYER:

In order to run this library you will need the full Kontakt 3.5 version or higher. No Kontakt Player included. The free Kontakt player DOESNT run this library.

1.- MAIN PAGE:

Volume: Main volume controlled by any CC of your choice. Mod Wheel controls vibrato.

Speed: This is the speed of the samples. With this feature you can control the lenght of the articulations. It is controlled by any CC of your choice.

Legato Time: This feature controls the legato time to adjust it at your taste. NOTE: Due to the time machine 2 Kontakt feature, you may hear artifacts when legato goes from a low note to a high note or when the time ms is low or high.

Key Switch only: If KS only is selected, every articulation has its own key switch. Except for short vib and sustain. There are 2 KS for all other short articulations: short only and short with sustain (overlay).

Key Switch + velocity: If KS + velocity is selected, these pairs have the same effect: they select the corresponding short articulation type but velocity is used to switch between short only and short with sustain. Ghost Note: You can activate the ghost note option to do a legato from a mute note via:

Key: Here you can choose the key to activate the ghost note Velocity: In this way you will get the ghost note when the velocity value is lesser

than the velocity threshold, which you can adjust.

2.- LEGATO SETTINGS:

In this page you can adjust the legato settings for fast notes and slow notes.

Parameters:

Legato time, Decay Time and Offset

3.-MICRO TUNING:

This is the micro tuning screen. You can turn in on/off and select or create the desired tuning.
