Ujam Intros Free “Flute With ‘Tude”, BeautyFlute Pro
A free flute plugin packed with emotion, attitude, and expressive sound design — built to instantly transform any track.
Software developer Ujam announced that it is releasing a free virtual instrument based on the ear-splitting sounds of the child-sized duct flute… just in time for April Fool’s Day.
BeautyFlute Pro is a virtual instrument based on the discordant tones of a poorly-played recorder. This free plugin captures the shrill and squeaky sound of the most irritating musical instrument known to man.
Inspired by the off-pitch flute and recorder renditions that have become “a staple of internet culture”, Ujam’s BeautyFlute Pro promises to “take your tracks to a whole other dimension”. “It looks like a polished instrument, but delivers some very unconventional results,” reads Ujam’s press release.
Capturing the shrill and discordant sound of a poorly-played recorder, BeautyFlute is equipped with multiple, equally distressing velocity layers, and even features three unique recorder models: Vanilla, Diva and Sisters, an ensemble mode.
You also get a choice of three levels of “Emoçion” – Delulu, Tantrum, and Drunk – which adjust the level of note-off samples for added realism, and three Ambience settings for the onboard reverb.
“There are songs that just can’t be left alone the way they were released. I felt they needed a ‘flute with ’tude’ to bring out their true emotional potential,” said Ujam’s “Head of Recorder Recording” Derek von Krogh. “This may be the most important contribution I’ve made to music.”
Inside, you’ll find:
- 3 Flute Models
- Vanilla
- Diva
- Sisters
- 3 Levels of Emoçion
- Delulu
- Drunk
- Tantrum
- 3 Ambience Presets
For dialing in just the right space and vibe.
BeautyFlute Pro is compatible with macOS and Windows and available in VST/VST3/AU/AAX formats.
There are fair share of pranks pulled by music tech companies on April Fool’s Day, but BeautyFlute Pro is up there with the best of them – and while it may be a joke, the plugin is 100% real, and you can download it now from Ujam website.
