Vocal Sounds, Vowels and Articulations

The core of the library is a set of natural vowel sustains and staccatos. True legato sustains are available for Ah, Oo, Hum and Whistle, and standard sustains cover Ah, Hum, Oh, Oo, Uh and Whistle, with infinite loops and natural release. The staccatos for Ah, Hum, Oh, Oo, Uh and Whistle include four round-robin variations per note to reduce repetition.

Two microphone options are included, large-diaphragm Neumann recordings in either smooth omni or crisp cardioid pickup. Each microphone has its own ram loading, level control and panning. Vocal breaths and effects are also included, along with Ambiences, Atmospheres and tuned pads built from Bryn's voice.

Melodic Phrases and Workflow Controls

The phrase library contains over 2000 melodic phrases in the keys of A# through G#. Styles include Arabian, Pure Vowel, American Southern Gospel/Soul, Hummed and Whistling. Phrases are organized by root key, style and native tempo, which makes them easier to find.

Each phrase offers pitch transposition, tempo-synching and time-stretching, legato blending and pattern sequencing. A fluid sequencer lets you set per-step phrase start and end markers, and a swell control shapes dynamics in real time. Every preset shows a real-time waveform display, and key switches and GUI controls can be automated in your host.

Built-In Multi-FX and Reverb

A multi-effects rack includes chorus, compression, distortion, amp and cabinet simulation, EQ, delay and reverb. The reverb unit contains 25 creative FX convolutions and 45 live rooms, studios, chambers, cathedrals and halls, with tone, size and mix controls.

The sample directories are unlocked, so you can customize, import and map the wav files into other sampler or synth formats.
