Overview
Imagine typing words into your computer, in any language, and hearing a world
class Symphonic Choir sing those words in any key(s) you play "live" on your
keyboard controller! Well imagine no more, that's exactly what this
revolutionary "award-winning" virtual instrument does. In addition, this is the
first 24-bit Choir virtual instrument to include three simultaneous stereo mic
setups (close, stage and hall), so users can mix any combination of mic
positions to control ambience. The Choirs were recorded in the same concert
hall, by the same team as the EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and
blend perfectly with EWQLSO.
To achieve the feel of a live concert hall performance, each instrument and
section was recorded with three mic positions: close, stage (conductor‘s
position) and hall. By selecting different mic positions, users can mix these
sounds together to create any kind of natural ambience their project requires.
This eliminates the need for artificial reverb.
The Symphonic Choirs Expansion (Voices of the Apocalypse content) was recorded
separately, at 24-bit resolution with a single mic position.
WordBuilder is the word building software for both MAC and PC that enables
Symphonic Choirs and Symphonic Choirs Expansion users to type in words for the
Choirs to sing. This revolutionary software also includes a pop-down menu that
includes popular pre-built phrases that you can load instantly. This is a real
time saver for those on a tight deadline. The phrases have been optimized for
each Choir. The phrases menu is customizable so you can add your own phrases to
WordBuilder for quick and easy access. This is the most powerful vocals solution
available.
