Any “vibrato version” of a sampled flute will give you wobble or chipmunking. With a modulated sound like this, these are unavoidable artifacts of transposition. Moreover, samples with vibrato in them in them are a problem because the rate of vibrato will vary depending on where you are playing on the keyboard. Pitch and the rate of vibrato are going to be positively correlated. The rate of the vibrato will increase as the sample is played back at a higher pitch. Further up from the root you will get very rapid modulation – chipmunking. Going in the opposite direction (lower notes) the rate of the vibrato will slow down to an unnatural rate – wobble. One way to minimize the transposition effect is by sampling more often, but then you will end up with a large array of multisamples to cover the keyboard that will take longer to load and will use more sample memory. Also, with frequent multisampling, the transposition effect is still there, but it’s less noticeable because of the narrow r
