UJAM has released Symphonic Elements CHOOIR, a phrase-based vocal engine developed in collaboration with Hans Zimmer. This addition to the Symphonic Elements series focuses on cinematic choral textures, utilizing recordings from Zimmer's personal library at Remote Control Studios.
CHOOIR utilizes a dedicated performance engine that triggers musically coherent vocal phrases based on MIDI input. The instrument is designed for rapid workflow in film scoring and modern production, offering a dual-layer architecture that allows for independent control over low (Basses/Tenors) and high (Sopranos/Altos) vocal sections.
The sound design section includes UJAM's proprietary Finisher multi-effect module and specialized Character and Motion FX. These tools allow users to transition from traditional symphonic arrangements to processed, rhythmic, or atmospheric textures without external processing.
