Sonora Cinematic updates Aria Vocalscapes to v1.1
Sonora Cinematic has announced the release of a new free v1.1 update for their vocal-based virtual instrument Aria Vocalscapes.
Aria Vocalscapes provides musicians and sound designers with an array of ambient, cinematic and experimental vocals performed by classically trained soprano Emma May Price.
The instrument is presented in an intuitive interface with two dedicated sample slots and a large X/Y pad. A wide variety of vocal articulations are included, ranging from traditional 'Ahh' and 'Mmh' sounds to heavily processed vocals, and users are also free to load in their own samples. The instrument has been built around our new Aria engine, which offers a range of modulation capabilities along with built-in effects and sample manipulation.
With samples assigned to either slot, users are able to crossfade between articulations using the X/Y pad, making it simple to create interesting, evolving vocal sounds. There's also a pair of independent filters that can be controlled by dedicated step sequencers, as well as per-layer LFOs and three effects slots that can be loaded with a selection of onboard processors. What's more, any of the available parameters can be assigned to either axis of the X/Y pad, offering a wealth of expressive control capabilities.
What's new in v1.1?
Aria Vocalscapes v1.1 features 20 fresh new snapshots, new per-layer LFO to PAN modulation, an improved user sample import experience and more.
The update is free for existing users (via Native Access) and Aria Vocalscapes is available to buy for £49 until next Tuesday (21st May).
