Voices Of Soul is a multi-sampled vocal instrument from EastWest Sounds, built from the voice of C.C. White. It offers over 600 expressive phrases in every key, true legato transitions and a wide range of syllables for soulful R&B vocal parts.
Voices Of Soul focuses on a single vocal character: the voice of singer C.C. White, captured across many phrases and syllables. EastWest Sounds designed the library around expressive, soulful performance, with phrases in every key and legato transitions meant to sound connected rather than stitched together. Producers can use it for lead-style lines, harmonies or softer background texture.
The library is built on multi-sampled recordings of C.C. White's voice. EastWest Sounds says the captured performances range from impassioned to calming, so the same instrument can cover energetic R&B phrasing or gentle background parts.
The developer describes the true legato transitions as realistic. Combined with the wide variety of individual syllables, this makes it possible to shape melodic lines note by note, changing the syllable that sits on each note.
Combo instruments let you switch between multiple articulations on the fly, which helps when a part moves between different vocal styles within one arrangement.
The library is also suited to chord work. You can build harmonies from the vocal phrases, and EastWest suggests layering the instrument under string lines with a softer setting. Adding doubling or chorus effects can make the voice feel fuller in a mix.
