01Overview

Voice of Gaia: Strawberry is built around the voice of vocalist Linda Strawberry Coloma and recorded with multiple microphone types in a warm studio. The library focuses on sustained and staccato vowels, a large set of tempo-synced melodic phrases, and vocal effects such as whispers, breaths, and warm-ups. It runs inside Kontakt and includes an integrated multi-effects rack with a built-in reverb section, so the vocal sound can be shaped without leaving the instrument.

Vowels, Legato and Articulations

The core of the library is a set of vowel articulations. The "Ah" legato vowel is offered with infinite sustain and release or with a natural sustain, and two microphone options let you choose between a large body double-diaphragm sound with transformer and a small body single-diaphragm sound without transformer.

Beyond the legato Ah, you get sustains and staccatos for Ah (piano), Ah (forte), Mm, Oh (piano), Oh (forte) and Oo. A swell control lets you shape dynamics in real time, and the sequencer supports per-step phrase start and end markers for rhythmic vocal lines.

Melodic Phrases and Bonus Material

The library includes more than 2500 melodic phrases in the keys of A# through G#, organized by root key and native tempo. Phrases can be transposed, sequenced, legato-blended and tempo-synced or time-stretched.

The phrases cover styles from ethnic to blues and soul. Bonus content includes vocal ambiences, atmospheres, tuned pads and other custom melodic instruments built from the same voice, along with whispers, breaths and warm-ups.
