Choir - Omnia

Choir: Omnia, developed by Native Instruments in collaboration with Strezov Sampling, is a comprehensive virtual choir library designed to deliver expressive and realistic choral performances. This instrument captures the nuanced sound of a 40-piece choir, providing composers and producers with a versatile tool for creating everything from epic cinematic scores to subtle ambient textures. It offers deep control over four independent vocal sections: soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, allowing for detailed and dynamic arrangements.

At its core, Choir: Omnia stands out for its meticulous sampling and advanced scripting. The library was recorded in an orchestral hall with multiple microphone positions, ensuring an authentic and rich sound. A key feature is its Polyphonic True Legato script, which automatically tracks melodies and harmonies to provide seamless, natural-sounding transitions between notes, crucial for realistic vocal lines. Beyond traditional sustains, it includes marcato, staccato, and staccatissimo articulations, enabling a wide range of expressive possibilities. The innovative Syllabuilder engine allows users to construct complex vocal phrases by merging individual phonemes, offering two transform modes and multiple round-robins per syllable for enhanced realism and endless creative potential through randomization.
