We wanted to make this instrument even more musical, so we came up with the idea of the phrase builder module. Something which we hope to develop and add to more and more as we continue to produce sample libraries. With the phrase-builder, which you can see in the Kontakt interface, you can shape your musical phrase by using a key-switch to determine how the first note of a phrase will be sung.

This stems from the fact that, in a recording session, you might say to the singer; "can you just sing that opening note with a crescendo", or "with a little grace note", and they would do it - musical freedom. We want you to have this kind of freedom with our sampled libraries, so we have implemented different sounds that you can begin a phrase with, after which, the rest of the legato phrase will continue on with normal sustained notes.

You can also switch as you play, between normal legato intervals, and portamento intervals, each individually sampled for all four vowels, giving a total of eight true legato sounds, as well as adding touches of vibrato in with the controls (MIDI map-able), to add an extra level of depth, variety and belief to your sound.

As well as the phrase-builder, there are five more sets of individually playable sounds available, also select-able via a key-switch mapped to your keyboard. These are:

Whispers - Soft whispered vowels, great for adding both eerie and spiritual levels to your music, particularly film/game score music

Ornament - A slightly more complex ornament recorded on each note for extra musical embellishment

Phrases - Short phrases sung, recorded, and mapped to each key, which make musical sense when played one after another
Long & Short Swells - True sampled crescendo/diminuendo samples, timed together so you can play polyphonic-ally, and the dynamics of each sample will remain perfectly matched throughout. These are perfect for adding a real expressive, human sound to your music.
