03In depth

Vocal Character and Articulations

The library centers on six core vowels: Ah, Eh, Ee, Mm, Oh and Oo. Sustain, staccato and true legato chromatic articulations are included, spanning over two playable octaves. Staccato syllables come with 8 round-robin variations per note to reduce repetition in fast passages.

Dynamic layering varies by vowel. Ah, Eh, Ee, Oh and Oo have piano and forte layers, while Mm and La use a single dynamic layer. Vocal performance breaths are included for added realism, and a swell control lets you shape dynamics in real time.

Phrase Library and Workflow

The library includes over a thousand melodic phrases organized by style, native tempo and root key. Phrases are split into 100 bpm and 140 bpm tempos for both Bright and Dark categories, plus a 120 bpm Hummed category.

Tempo-syncing, time-stretching and pitch transposition let you fit phrases to a project. A fluid step sequencer sets per-step phrase start and end markers, and phrase-legato blending helps shape transitions. The interface includes a real-time waveform display in every preset and is fully automatable with customizable key switches.
