The Bansuri Flute from Aria Sounds is a sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt that captures the bansuri, the traditional Indian bamboo flute heard across classical Indian music and countless film scores. It was recorded with a specialist ethnic flute player, and the emphasis is on expression: the library's headline feature is true legato, meaning the transitions between notes were actually performed and recorded, so melodic lines sound connected rather than stitched together. On Mac it runs inside Kontakt in any major DAW, and it is also sold as part of Aria Sounds' Ethnic Flutes bundle alongside the Xiao and a pan flute.

FAQs

Does it work in the free Kontakt Player?

No. Like most Aria Sounds libraries, the Bansuri Flute requires the full retail version of Kontakt. In Kontakt Player it would only run in a time-limited demo mode.

Is this a standalone app?

No, it is a sample library, not an application. You load and play it inside Kontakt, which you can use standalone or as a plugin in Logic Pro, Cubase and other DAWs.
