It focuses on the nuanced mezzo-soprano voice of singer-songwriter Adey Bell, whose vocal character draws on classical, pop, folk, blues, lounge and jazz styles. The library gives producers sustained and legato vowels, staccato syllables, and a large set of ready-made phrases, all controlled through a single Kontakt interface with tempo, key and effects options.

Vowel Articulations and Melodic Phrases

The core of the library is a set of six vowels, Ah, Eh, Ee, Mm, Oh and Oo, recorded as natural true legato. Ah, Eh, Ee, Oh and Oo come in piano and forte dynamic layers, while Mm and La use a single dynamic layer. Staccato articulations offer eight round-robin variations per note, which helps repeated notes avoid sounding identical.

The melodic phrase collection contains more than a thousand live phrases. They are split into 100bpm and 140bpm tempos for both Bright and Dark categories, plus a special 120bpm Hummed category. Phrases can be transposed, sequenced, blended legato-style and time-stretched or tempo-synced to match a project.

Workflow, Effects and Control

A fluid sequencer lets you set start and end markers for each step of a phrase. Swell control shapes dynamics in real time, and vocal breaths can be added for extra realism. Every preset displays a live waveform, and key switches and GUI controls can be automated in your host.

The Multi-FX rack includes chorus, compression, distortion, amp and cab simulation, EQ, delay and reverb. The reverb section offers 25 creative FX convolutions and 45 real-world spaces such as rooms, studios, chambers, cathedrals and halls, with tone, size and mix controls. The package also includes bonus vocal ambiences, atmospheres and pad instruments made from Adey's voice.
