The Olympus Micro Choir is a compact, playable male/female symphonic choir that includes selected content from Soundiron's comprehensive Mars and Venus divisi choir libraries. This 80MB virtual choral instrument contains 56 samples and 20 presets and is priced at $9.99.

Olympus Micro was designed to offer a taste of the sound and features that the combined Olympus Symphonic Collection offers, but it can also serve as a basic tool set for those who just need a basic high-quality, live-sounding choir with fully automatable control features.

The interface includes real-time control over dynamic intensity, tempo, sample playback start position, attack shape, release sample decay time and volume and simulated 3-part polyphonic legato transitions. These integrated control systems allow the creation of new phonetic combinations, pure Oo vowel sustains and staccatos. Custom 5.1 mixes are even supported with the help of special cathedral presets and banks that allow multi-channel output routing.

Olympus Micro features:
  • - Full Men's and Women's divisi sections, with extended ranges.
    - 100BPM Latin "Dominum" Poly-sustain w/ infinite loop and releases.
    - Use Offset to skip syllables and isolate the sustaining "Oo" vowels.
    - Use Offset, Attack & Release to simulate short staccato notes.
    - Swell control allows real-time dynamic performance shaping.
    - Independent Release decay timing and Release Volume controls.
    - Simulated 3-part polyphonic legato with speed and bend control.
    - Bonus cathedral convolution presets simulate a far mic position.
    - Kontakt 5 TM Pro tempo synching supported.
    - Bonus atmospheric FX presets.
    - Combo NKM banks for custom mixing & output routing.

It's pretty nice overall, but I'm hearing a weird anomaly in the vc_poly_s_dominum_09_a sample. There's a little "chirp" around 1.9kHz that happens near the 2.5s, 7s, and 8s marks, most prominently in the right channel. I didn't notice anything odd in the other samples, though.

Just wanted to say that the weird "chirp" has been removed, in case anyone was wondering. :)
