01Overview

Halo Vox focuses on the human voice as a sound source, from radiant choirs and glowing vowels to layered harmonies and sequenced whispers. Native Instruments built it as part of the Play Series, a group of instruments designed to be played quickly, with a set of presets and focused controls for shaping them. The developer created Halo Vox with engineers Curtis "Sauce" Wilson and Rochad "Ro" Holiday, who also made the Play Series instruments Glaze, Glaze 2 and Duets.

03In depth

Vocal Textures and Sound Character

Halo Vox covers a wide range of vocal sounds. At one end are pure, sustained vowels and soulful choral pads. At the other are futuristic vocal designs and processed voices that feel more like synth textures than singing.

The developer describes the sound as a blend of warmth, soul and atmosphere, with layered harmonies that can stretch into wide, evolving pads. The instrument's 150 presets give a starting point across these styles, and each one can be edited to suit a track.

Using Halo Vox in Kontakt

Halo Vox is a Kontakt instrument, so it needs Kontakt to run. Native Instruments lists the free Kontakt Player as sufficient, and the full Kontakt version 8.1 or higher also works.

The Play Series design centers on quick results. Pick a preset, play it, and adjust the focused controls to change the character of the voice. This makes Halo Vox suited to sketching chords and atmospheres as well as to finishing a sound for a production.
