The developer describes the library as a source of mystical, esoteric vocals for adding a raw, otherworldly flavor to a track.

03In depth

Traditional Mongolian Vocal Styles in the Library

The library is split into three categories. The Female and Male categories are built on Urtiin duu, a long, drawn-out singing style with long syllables that the developer links to the open steppe landscape.

The Male Throat category uses Khoomei throat singing, which relies on guttural vibrations and circular breathing. The developer notes that it can produce resonant harmonies from two or three notes sung at the same time.

The vocals are live recorded and are not tied to a Western key. The developer says they are technically in a major key but can work with most other modes.

Interface, FX Page and Kontakt Controls

The interface lets you choose from the available phrases. The FX page includes EQ, delay and reverb, so you can shape the tone and spacing of a phrase without leaving the instrument.

All controls can be mapped to MIDI, which makes it practical to automate the FX or phrase selection from a hardware controller or your DAW.
