Hollywood Choirs Diamond is a sampled choir virtual instrument from EastWest Sounds, produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix. It offers male and female choir sounds with dynamics from soft and lyrical to large and overwhelming, and it is available as a VST2, AU and AAX plugin.
Hollywood Choirs Diamond is built around male and female choir samples recorded for cinematic work. The instrument lets you control a full choir across a wide dynamic range, from quiet, lyrical passages to big, dramatic swells. A built-in WordBuilder 2 engine lets you type in a word and hear it sung in real time, and you can make micro-edits to phrases as needed. The Diamond Edition expands the library to 59 GB of 24-bit, 44.1kHz audio.
The core of Hollywood Choirs Diamond is its sampled male and female choir. The instrument is designed to move between soft, lyrical textures and epic, overwhelming ones, so it can carry both intimate and large-scale scores.
The WordBuilder 2 engine is the main workflow feature. You can type in any word and hear it performed in real time, then make micro-edits to phrases to shape the vocal lines to your part.
The samples were recorded with a 13 microphone setup intended for surround sound and virtual reality. The Diamond Edition contains 59 GB of 24-bit, 44.1kHz samples, with Main, Close, Stage, Mid and Surround mic mixes so you can choose the sonic perspective that suits your mix.
The product is now included in OPUS, which adds individual downloads, custom keyswitches, and dozens of MIDI Tools and Mixer Effects.
