It's been a while, but here's the new free RAW instrument:

MEMBRANE WHISTLE
- sustains, 2x RoundRobin / Keyswitch
- staccato
- trills slow/fast
- phrases

This is a simple bamboo whistle, of which one hole is covered by a really thin layer of bamboo paper, called Dimo. These Dimo are often used on the Chinese Di Zi flute, that give it its characteristic sound. I found out this nasal sound with mostly odd harmonics can be obtained on whistles too, and so I sampled it.

Demo coming soon :)
