Vocalisa is available now! Click here for more info and to purchase.

VOCALISA is our newest virtual instrument, a vocal library capturing in detail the electric and powerful sound of a Slavic (Bulgarian) women's choir. We've been working on this collection for quite some time, and now are finally coming down the home stretch with editing & programming! Vocalisa features a full choir, as well as sections - altos, mezzos, sopranos, and soprano soloist - with multiple vowels/consonants, pitch bends, and word building.

This type of singing is very unlike traditional Western choirs. It frequently relies on harsh vowels and syllables, tight harmonies, and extensive use of pitch bends to create a truly powerful and ethereal sound. Slavic & Bulgarian singing has been used on classic soundtracks & scores like Xena: Warrior Princess and Ghost in the Shell.

By using Vocalisa's different sections as well as the full choir and soloist patches, it is possible to create a choral sound that is as subtle or dramatic as you need. An inspiring UI includes such features as a phrase builder, allowing you to construct your own musical parts from syllables like "eh", "mah", "oh", "shteh", "svah", and consonants.

Library designer Will Roget gives a quick overview of the library in real-time in the video below:

FEATURES
* Detailed & authentic recordings of traditional Bulgarian choral singing
* Five sections: Full Choir, Sopranos, Mezzos, Altos + Soloist
* Syllable building with idiomatic vowel and consonant combinations: eh, mah, yah, ree, shteh, svah, oh
* Mordents / turns, clusters, FX, breaths
* Two flexible playing modes: keyswitch & grid (sequence) mode
* Beautiful UI with performance & syllable tweaking, mixing options and FX
* Carefully recorded to provide a flexible sound with air and character - not overwhelming hall reverb, or stark dryness

New demos posted and PRICE revealed - $99 intro when it is released later this month! An excellent value, we think, for any composer or producer

This sounds really fantastic... I might have to bump this to the top of the list...

def. hear a lot of opportunity for choral textures using this beyond the typical splashy 'action cue' genre...

Thanks kbaccki! Here is a new walkthrough video from library designer Will Roget, II showing the playing modes, UI features, and a walkthrough of his Ghost in the Shell mockup demo. We've also extended the intro pricing for 24 more hours, for those of you still on the fence!
