Which choir library for Fruityloops?

[Professor Moriarty]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a fantastic choir library. The two best ones appear to be Symphony of Voices and Voices of the Apocalypse.

BUT the problem is this: I've been using Fruityloops for years and I don't want to transfer to a new vst host just to do the choirs. That would be ridiculous, cos then the choirs would be separate from the music and rhythms accompanying them! And this is a problem because as far as I know, neither Symphony of Voices nor Voices of the Apocalypse works with Fruityloops. The samples in VOTA are in "the Gigastudio format", and from what I can gather the library is accessed and controlled via a proprietary "utility program" in Gigastudio).

If anyone uses either of these libraries, I'd be very grateful if you could tell me how to make them work with Fruityloops, if it is possible at all, and if I need any additional software in order to make it work.

And which is better - Symphony of Voices or Voices of the Apocalypse? I'm looking to create genuinely breathtaking, magnificent choirs here.

Is VOTA so good that it'd be worth my while transferring to GigaStudio just for the sake of being able to use the VOTA choir/speech system? Or can VOTA be used with Fruityloops anyway?

I suppose you could try CDXtract and convert the .gig (or whatever format they come in) to .SF2 files, and then use FL's soundfont player? Might work... but no guarantees...

Or EXSC to a soundfont for XS-1 or sfz(+), or to sfz format directly.

Also, some other samplers will play or convert gig files, including Kontakt and VSampler. Not sure if features like key-switching are supported in all of them.
