Tin whistles, also known as penny whistles because of their low cost, emerged in the 19th - century in Great Britain and Ireland. These six - holed woodwind instruments are a hit in Irish, Scottish, and Celtic music. Despite their high pitch, they can produce soft, lyrical sounds or soar above other instruments with confidence and flexibility. This Synchron World Winds Pack comes with six tin whistles in G, D, C, A, F, and Low D keys. Typical playing techniques like slides and ornaments such as cuts, taps, rolls, and grace notes are all carefully sampled and easily accessible in the Vienna Synchron Player. All six whistles were played by Veronika Vitazkova, a multi - instrumentalist and folk instruments expert. She has a rich performance history in top orchestras and at famous festivals. To capture the amazing atmosphere of Synchron Stage's 'Stage A', our engineers used seven phase - coherent microphone setups, and all signals are available as separate channels in the Vienna Synchron Player's mixer. A wide range of presets offer great starting points for your sound creation. Each whistle has natural sampled diatonic tones, but the software provides chromatic keyboard mappings and chromatically sampled legatos. Remember, due to the non - chromatic nature of the instruments, not all keyboard - played notes can be performed by a real player. The Standard Library has 29,105 - 46,568 samples, with a download size of 1.9 - 3.0 GB and an installed size of 8.4 - 14.6 GB. The Full Library has 46,568 samples, a 3.0 GB download size, and a 14.6 GB installed size.
Using these tin whistles is a breeze. Just open the Vienna Synchron Player and access the pre - sampled playing techniques like slides and ornaments easily. When you're creating your music, the presets in the player can be a great starting point for your sound. You can adjust the separate channels in the mixer section to get your desired audio. As for things to keep in mind, because the natural tones of the whistles are diatonic, not all the notes you play on the keyboard can be reproduced by a real tin whistle player. So, be a bit flexible when writing your compositions. To maintain the quality of the samples, make sure your computer meets the requirements for installing and running the software. Keep your Vienna Synchron Player updated to ensure smooth operation. And that's it! Enjoy making beautiful Celtic - style music with these tin whistles.
