Voice Of Gaia - Francesca Genco

Voice Of Gaia: Francesca is an exotic female solo mezzo-soprano library featuring vocalist Francesca Genco. She specializes in fusions of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian vocal styles and modes, designed to be most ideal for soundtrack production. The library was recorded in a dry studio environment, using 2 microphone types. It covers chromatic true legato for Ah, Oo and Mm (hummed) sounds, plus Vowel sustains and staccatos (8x round-robin) with various vowel sounds and dynamics, each playable over 2+ octaves.

It also provides a collection of live performance phrase and groove clips in Bombastic, Melodic, Bright, Atonal/Discordant and Whispering categories, grouped by BPM and root key. The phrases can be directly triggered by MIDI key, or sequenced with the Phrase Sequencer panel, with 32 freely assignable steps, each with start/end timing and pitch adjustment, plus legato transitions, tempo-synching, time-stretching, pitch transposition and other control options. The FX page provides optional multi-effects, compression, EQ, amp/speaker simulation and convolution reverb with FX and room impulse selection menus:
