01Overview

Soundiron's Voice of Rapture: The Bass is a Kontakt library built around one operatic bass voice. The developer describes it as a solo vocal instrument recorded in a dry studio with two microphone choices. It covers a wide dynamic range, from loud fortissimo to soft pianissimo, and includes sustained vowels, staccato syllables, Latin chants and melodic phrase banks. The library runs on Kontakt 5.1.0 or later, and the full version of Kontakt is required; the free Kontakt Player only runs it in demo mode.

Vocal Articulations and Sound Character

The library includes three true legato vowels, Ah, Oh and Oo, captured using the traditional long-form method. Forte and piano sustains cover Ah, Ee, Eh, Oh and Oo, and the piano set adds a hummed sustain.

Staccato articulations include 29 Latin and vowel words and syllables, along with whispers, breaths and warm-ups. Twelve sustaining Latin polysustain chants offer releases, legato and tempo-synching. Chromatic articulations have a playable range of more than two octaves.

Two microphone positions, cardioid and condenser, load independently and have their own volume and panning controls, so you can balance the close and room-style character of the voice.

Phrase Banks, Ambiences and Multi-FX Rack

Five phrase categories, Latin, French, Vowel, Whistling and Humming, cover melodic material across a full range of keys. Phrases support pitch transposition, pattern sequencing, legato blending, tempo-synching, time-stretching, phrase shaping and offset or release editing.

The library also includes 74 bonus vocal ambiences, atmospheres, tuned pads and other melodic instruments built from the same voice. The Multi-FX rack offers chorus, compression, distortion, amp and cab simulation, EQ, delay and reverb. The reverb unit adds 25 creative convolutions and 45 real-world spaces such as rooms, studios, chambers, cathedrals and halls.

All parameters are automatable, and key switches and GUI controls can be customized.
