Soundiron Olympus Micro Choir v1.1 KONTAKT-KRock | 56.57MB
Our Olympus Symphonic Choir Collection is a massive professional choral scoring library for the Native Instruments Kontakt platform. It's comprised of the Mars Men's and Venus Women's divisi choirs. It includes 63 hand-picked professional singers from the SF Choral Society, Volti and the SF Symphony Chorus, conducted by renowned maestro Robert Geary. We recorded our ensembles in a large natural hall, us a carefully-balanced, wide multi-position array. With the help of 12 large-diaphragm Neumann microphones and Sound Devices multi-track recorders, we captured over 90 solid hours of vocal performances. We then hand-programmed each section over the course of an entire year, using specialized techniques and years of engineering and instrument design experience.
We know how daunting such a huge collection can be and the significant investment it represents, so we designed this fully functional and playable demo kit to offer just a taste of the enormous possibilities that Olympus offers. This compact 80MB choir instrument contains 56 samples and represents just a tiny slice of the wealth of premium sample and programming content you'll find in our Olympus Symphonic Choral Collection. It can also simply serve as an great-sounding basic choir pad set for those who just need the purest of basics, but still want the highest quality available, along with natural acoustics and an expanded range of control features.
Olympus Micro provides a glimpse of the tone, concepts and range of features you can enjoy in the full version. Whether you'e been curious about our Mars & Venus libraries and are still on the fence, or you're just now learning about it, Olympus Micro is the perfect low cost and easy way to begin your journey.
Functionality
Despite it's humble size and scope, this little starter pack is surprisingly powerful. You still have real-time control over dynamic intensity, tempo, playback start position, room decay time and volume, legato transitions, and more. With our full automation support, you can create entirely new phonetic combinations and syllable sequences from the raw material provided here. Full automation support means you can get as creative and complex with your arrangements as you like.
For example, by using the Offset and Attack controls, you can create pure "Oo" vowel sustains. By shortening the release time, lowering the attack and adding our included custom cathedral reverb impulse, you can create staccato-like short notes. You can even create custom 5.1 mixes by adding the cathedral presets and routing them independently through your front and rear channels.
