03In depth

Sound and Vocal Character

The library draws on the ethnic musical traditions of Bulgaria and Mongolia, with a set of Western-style instruments alongside them. EastWest Sounds describes the performer as a trained opera singer, and the samples reflect that training in their precision and control.

The collection includes two Mongolian legato vocal instruments, one in a Western style and one in a traditional style. Expressive vowel multi-sampled instruments add further options for sustained and shaped vocal lines.

Phrases, Words and Workflow

Voices Of The Empire includes 29 words and 254 traditional phrases spread across all keys. This makes it possible to play sung phrases from the keyboard rather than building every line from single notes.

Because the instruments are multi-sampled across keys, you can use them for melodies as well as chords. Stacking voices across a chord gives a vocal harmony layer suited to film, TV and game cues.
