Wondering about playback options for extended flute technique sounds....beyond just flutter....thinking "key clicks," "tongue pizzicato," and especially Aeolian, which seems to be especially useful / applicable for smaller ensemble/solo work. Any knowledge/tips appreciated, as I'd like to start incorporating a couple of these techniques....judiciously, not overdoing it, not sticking it in everywhere just for the sake of doing it. I'm sure all this is available w/various sample collections; just looking for options within NP3/Garritan at this point. Thanks!

I sent their support a message, just wanted to ask the assembled wisdom, as often I'll get a much more informative/direct response. At least that's been my experience w/other things. And....I confess I'm not sure how to access their "manual"/info etc. Please direct me to it and I'll scour it. Thanks.
