Hi,

You show what you intended to very good effect. That is the closest to a flute sound I've heard in midi. The tounging is not so apparent and the timbre much less mechanical. It is a beautiful sound, more luminescent, I think, than a solo flute would produce in a concert hall, but not perhaps in a smaller setting.

I don't know about it being too fast. It will be interesting to hear what you do with it. Have you thought of tinkering with note velocity? perhaps making the flute more prominent in the passage where you use the orchestral hit?

It's a haunting melody, which I know I've heard, but don't know when or where, and almost certainly not as beautifully rendered. It would work well in a long piece for singer and orchestra that is fermenting in my head.

best,
