Occult Audio – Vestral Voices v1.1 for WiN & Mac

Recorded within the reverberant stone walls of St Michael’s Church, Vestral Voices is a vocal instrument built around two distinct worlds. Light presents the voices in their purest form — intimate, breath-filled, and reverent. Dark transforms those same performances through processing, degradation, and reconstruction, creating sounds that feel distant, fractured, and increasingly unnatural.

The result is a vocal instrument designed not for traditional performance, but for atmosphere, tension, and emotional weight.

Two worlds

At the centre of Vestral Voices lies a simple concept: every sound contains its opposite. Move between delicate choral textures and corrupted vocal shadows, layer purity against degradation, and create evolving performances that drift between the sacred and the unsettling — now pushed even further with the onboard granular engine and Movement blending.

Light

The voices in their purest form — intimate, breath-filled, and reverent.

Dark

Those same performances transformed through processing, degradation, and reconstruction — distant, fractured, increasingly unnatural.

Recorded in St Michael’s Church

Every source recording was captured inside St Michael’s Church, allowing the natural acoustics of the space to become part of the instrument itself.

The reflections, resonance, and lingering decay of the church remain embedded within every sample, providing a sense of scale and atmosphere before any additional processing takes place.

Brand new convolution IRs

A brand new set of impulse responses has been added to the convolution reverb, bringing fresh spaces and responses to the instrument — from intimate rooms to vast, cinematic environments.

Brand new presets

A whole new set of presets has been built specifically to take advantage of the Movement and granular engines, alongside the existing preset library.

Built for transformation

Custom reverbs — now including the brand new convolution IRs — provide everything from intimate spaces to vast cinematic environments. Drive and Tone controls introduce warmth, grit, and degradation, while filtering and dynamics processing offer further control over the final character of the sound. The granular engine and Movement system add a further layer of transformation on top, letting you sculpt and blend the Light and Dark performances into entirely new territory.
