the sound in some way or is it just a side effect of

The sound isn't MIDI-based, its per-note audio samples of my 1857 Metzler. It's pretty unforgiving of "crossing" noises, the UI is really fast so you really have to play cleanly, but you can do all the standard flute ornaments and the holes are mapped to give the "right" note for all the cuts, taps, crans, etc.
It's probably best to think of it as a "practice chanter" for flute rather than a realistic instrument, which it is not, since there really isn't any way to provide breath pressure based expression. You can play staccato notes, and do finger vibrato, but there isn't any way to do the equivalent of breath pulsing or nuanced articulation.
It sounds pretty good for what it is even considering its limitations (which for the price, I'm sure will be forgiven), and most importantly is extremely fast with zero lag.
