01Overview

Moroccan Vocal Phrases draws on the vocal traditions of Morocco, with phrases performed by singer Nadia Kaawad. The library covers several regional and historical styles, from the poetic Malhun to the lively Chaabi. Each theme includes starting, middle and ending phrases, so you can build vocal lines that fit the structure of a track. The phrases are recorded in four keys, which keeps pitch shifting to a minimum when you play them across the keyboard.

Vocal styles and phrase structure

The library is organized into nine main themes and two bonus themes, with over 580 phrases in total. The styles include Malhun, Gnawa, Andalusian Music (Al-Ala), Chaabi, Amazigh (Berber) Music and Aita. Each theme contains 15 phrases and two brief endings, split into five starting, five middle and five end phrases.

Because the phrases come in separate start, middle and end groups, you can combine them in whatever order suits your arrangement.

Playing phrases across keys

All themes are recorded in four different keys. Developer Sonuscore states that this allows minimal pitch shifting, making the material playable in all chromatic keys, and that the musical material stays consistent across keys.

This makes the library practical for producers who want a vocal texture in a key that is not one of the recorded keys, since less pitch correction is needed.
