The Olympus Micro Choir is a convenient, yet flexible and playable male/female symphonic choir library designed to offer a taste of the features and sound that Soundiron's full Olympus Symphonic Collection offers. Including selected content from both Mars and Venus divisi choirs, this compact virtual choral instrument represents a glimpse at the types of sample and programming content found in the larger Collection. It can also serve as a basic high-quality choir pad kit for those who just need the basics, but still want professional quality, natural acoustics and expanded control features.
The interface includes real-time control over dynamic intensity, tempo, sample playback start position, attack shape, release sample decay time and release volume, simulated polyphonic legato transitions **, and other advanced control for two independent ensemble section layers in the same GUI. The interface is designed to allow the creation of new phonetic combinations, sustains and syllable sequences from the raw material provided, with full automation support.
