With two whistling styles, round robins, legato, velocity dynamics, falls, ramps, vibrato, and even an ensemble mode, RealiWhistle is the most comprehensive whistle instrument we know of!

Check out these features:

- Two different whistling styles: The typical “lips” style, and then an airier “tongue” style.

- For both styles, we recorded two dynamics with three round robins each.

- We also recorded optional ramps (rises) into each note, for more realistic performances. This makes a huge difference, as you’ll see in the walkthrough video.

- And falls, too! In two different speeds. Like the ramps, these are triggered via keyswitches.

- Speaking of keyswitches, we display them right there on the interface. They couldn’t be easier.

- We also include legato, for even more realism. You can even select the speed.

- Last, but not least, there’s an ensemble option, where three whistles are stacked in one instrument. Now your “Bridge Over River Kwai” cues, or even pop songs like Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” are ridiculously easy!

The Theremin !
One of the very first electronic instrument, invented by the Russian physicist and cellist Leon Theremin in 1919.

Everybody knows this instrument that you can play without physical contact. The Theremin produces a tone that changes in pitch and dynamic level when the player moves his hands near its antenna and loop.
It’s often associated with 50’s sci-fi movies, furious aliens and creepy/spooky creatures and was also used by many artists, just to name a few :
Beach boys – Good Vibrations !
Portishead – Mysterons
Goldfrapp – Yes Sir
+ Radiohead, Led Zep, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Julien Dragoul and many more !

5. Bluenoise Theremin

This one is funny, with the hand you can drag.
The range for the vibrato depth is not well calibrated, only the 3 first positions are really usable for Theremin emulation.
The signal is a sinus when you turn the “age” parameter to the maximum
Note that you have to send MIDI message.
