Here is the full product description:

Black Octopus returns with a remarkable collection of top quality vocal samples from skilled vocalist and undiscovered gem of Canada, Cory Friesenhan. This pack is a diverse and powerful collection of songs with well thought out and meaningful lyrics that are ready to be used in high calibre productions.

SIZE: 1 GB (Over 500 WAV files)

All vocal samples are royalty free so you can use them in your own commercial productions.

The pack is divided into these sections:

Songs > 12 masterly crafted songs ranging from soft and melodic to hard and driving utilizing Cory's wide range of vocal styles . The variety included in this pack makes it an excellent tool for producers of all genres such as house, dubstep, chillstep, trance, pop, progressive and more. Many of the songs contain multiple parts, alternate takes, double trackings, harmonies and extras so you can really find your own sound within the pack. All songs are labelled with the original key they were recorded to and will stretch to a wide range and tempos while still sounding musical.

Loops > Gated loops and mutated vocal textures great for filling in beat loops and adding interesting rhythmic vocal bits into your songs.

Swells> Epic choir like swells containing minor, major, fifth, and single note crescendos. Great for building intensity and helping transitions.

Tones > Over 230 vowel recordings spanning 2.5 octaves including both straight tone and falsetto on the higher pitches. Tones were recorded at vowels Ooh, Ohh, Ahh, Ehh, Eee, and humming Mmm. Choir like presets for Directwave and Kontakt have been added as a bonus. These tones are great for sound design and for creating interesting vocal soundscapes. All of the vocal swell samples have been created using these tones.

Vocal FX> Reverse tones and vocal breaths great for transitioning. Throw some rhythmic gates or sidechain on top these for some great results.

Xtras> Over 100MB worth of extra runs & vocal licks all labelled with the key they were recorded too. These are great tools to fill in breaks and perfect for sections of songs where an extra vocal element is desired. These are also excellent for stretching, gating, and chopping up.

Vocal loops are mainly at 135BPM and embedded with tempo information so they will stretch to other tempos such as 128 BPM and 140 BPM with ease.

All samples included are dry so you can add your own effects to taste.

a plea - can you please include a list somewhere that details the lyrics sung in each included wav file.

I bought Siren and great product but there are wav files that the title of the wav file just says chorus and it's like 2minutes of sung vocal (okay not 2mins but still).

Siren_CEbDDb_128bpm_Chorus.wav with sung vocals that say "Eyes on you , they've got their eyes on you, eyes on you, they've got their eyes on you"

it's so hard to go through so many wav files and not know where to cut, chop, clip or combine cause there is no detailed list of what the song parts are that are sung.

With the Siren product I started an MS Excel document listed all the wav files and a column next to it that has typed out sung lyrics in that file. makes it much much eaiser to use as a product or combining parts from one song to another remixing etc.

anyway - it's just a plea LOL.

The vocals in this new product really sound great. might have to put on my list to buy. IF you include a detailed list (okay Ill buy it regardless, just means more work for me).

Yes we are definitely going to include a lyric sheet in this one. This was requested a few times - I will also make sure when we do a follow up to Siren we have a full lyric sheet as well

Do you think people would prefer 1 big lyric sheet with lyrics to all the songs or a separate one for each song in the corresponding folder?

Same as Veela - awesome vocal package!

[MachineClaw]

Do you think people would prefer 1 big lyric sheet with lyrics to all the songs or a separate one for each song in the corresponding folder?

I know I prefer it by wav file.

I know for my personal use with Siren I did a directory dump using dos and threw that in an excel document so I have

Directory name - wav file name - lyrics sung

that way I know if I want to cut or chop a sung lyric part then I know what directory to look in and what file to go grab.

for directorys like the tones or the laughs I just put the directory name and a note various laughs - I didn't need to list out anything else.

I'd be happy with just a sheet that had all the song vocals listed as if it was a published song. least I could figure out that - oh there is a part I need now I just need to go find what directory or file name. something is way better than nothing and it makes it a much more usable product for me at least.

I spent hours putting together my Siren directory file list and anm nowhere finished. haven't used the product as much as I would like.

if you include a one sheet with this new vocal sample library that would be awesome. really looking forward to purchasing this one now.

I've included all the lyrics in one big sheet as if you looked them up online.
