Andes 25F

for NI Kontakt & Logic EXS24

The Andes 25F looks like a Melodion but it’s really a high-pitched panpipe organ with a sound

between a panpipe and an ocarina. Instead of reeds, this instrument has pipes. It's clear and sweet

voice is great for contemporary acoustic music yet also suits medieval styles. Our scripted version

for Kontakt 3+ offers ways to play and tweak the instrument beyond its natural limits.

The Andes 25F features:

• Individually sampled notes, key up and down noises, and release samples

• 4 round robins

• 400 stereo 24-bit WAV samples

• Playable range of C3 – C6 inclusive, extended from the natural range of F3 – F5

• 1 program for NI Kontakt 3+ with scripted performance controls and GUI

• 3 programs for NI Kontakt 2+

• 3 programs for EXS24

Duo When Duo mode is active, two round robins are played for each note. In other words, the note sounds, key noises, and release sounds are all doubled. By default, the original and doubled samples are at the same pitch and time. The controls in the Duo section enable you to adjust their pitch and timing for creative flam, chorus, and harmony effects. Coarse: sets the transposition of the doubled samples in semitone steps, to a maximum of +/-1 octave.
