About the Library
The samples for Emerald Flute were recorded in a small studio to produce a dry, non-reverberant, sound. This makes it easier to incorporate the instrument into a virtual mix alongside other sample libraries.
The instrument includes a special “performance” articulation that interprets your playing to generate realistic legato transitions, trills, attacks, ornaments, and glides.

The Emerald Flute library is great and responds very nicely when playing with key switches. I am also very impressed with the Rhapsody player and how easy it is to setup and use.

It has a very gentle and beautiful tone.
It gives a kind of melancholy feeling of travel.

Very nice flute and very flexible in use. Had an initial problem with the download, contacted support: immediate response and was able to sort out the issue. Must also comment on the control offered by Rhapsody. Am now very much a fan of Librewave.

Wow! This is a steal!
Emerald Flute is a decent little Flute library that simply sounds
fantastic right out of the box! The 9 different and pretty diverse
articulations come in handy when trying to create realistic and
natural flute tunes. As mentioned already, it is very nice to have
sustained versions of ornaments! It is incredibly easy to edit the
velocity curve – you can add as many (!) anchor points as you
wish and intuitively set the tension of the respective slope.
The sound is very pure and natural – I love it!

Great support. I reported a bug in my first review and that was fixed now. Works perfectly!

I like it very much. Especially the possibility to choose an Ornament alone and with sustain. Many Libararies do not offer this.
The Tone overall is very nice. Support well responding. Good! (Found a bad loop that will be fixed soon) – Great.
