Imagine typing words on your computer in any language and hearing a world-class symphony choir sing those words in whatever keys you play “live” on your keyboard controller! Well imagine no more, that’s exactly what this revolutionary “award-winning” virtual instrument does. In addition, the Platinum version (the Gold version has one mic position and is 16-bit) is the first 24-bit Choir virtual instrument that includes three simultaneous stereo microphone settings (near, stage, and hall), so users can mix any combination microphone position for ambiance control. The choirs were recorded in the same concert hall by the same team as the East-West Symphony Orchestra and fit perfectly with the EWQLSO.
We’ve also included Symphonic Choirs Expansion in this release as it only took up an extra GB or so.
“The Symphonic Choirs Expansion (content of Voices of the Apocalypse) was recorded separately at 24-bit resolution and with one microphone.”
To create the feeling of a live concert hall, each instrument and section was recorded with three microphone positions: side by side, on stage (conductor position) and in the hall. By selecting different microphone positions, users can mix these sounds together to create any natural atmosphere they need for their project. This eliminates the need for artificial reverb.
The Symphonic Choirs Expansion (content of Voices of the Apocalypse) was recorded separately in 24-bit resolution with one microphone position.
Wordbuilder, now built into the EastWest Play software, is a word-creation software that allows users of Symphonic Choirs and Symphonic Choirs Expansion to enter words to sing choirs. This revolutionary software also includes a pop-up menu containing popular ready-made phrases that you can download instantly. This is a real time saver for those with tight deadlines. Phrases have been optimized for each chorus. The phrase menu is customizable so you can add your own phrases to WordBuilder for quick and easy access. This is the most powerful solution for vocals.
