We have worked with miss Güzin Degismez before, in our very first vocal library ‘Tigris and Euphrates’ and have been in contact with her about doing another project ever since.

As no other, ms Degismez knows how to blend the traditional music of her culture into cinematic atmospheres that instantly invoke emotion and lively imagery. For this project, we recorded all new material, based on ‘moods’ and, in contrast to Tigris and Euphrates, these are all temposynced and we’ve recorded all material in two tempi, to be able to employ our ITM tempo mapping system, making sure the recordings will always stay within acceptable stretch ranges. Of course, you can turn off ITM if you’re looking for that overstretched sound as an effect.

All is recorded in Istanbul by our trusted producer Ceyda Pirali, who played live percussion during the recording session to accompany the mood and set the stage for Güzin to perform freely and without the robotic constriction of a clicktrack, while still providing us with temposyncable material.

We are very proud to bring the sound and quality of performance of our very first vocal product in line with the technical advancement we’ve made over the years, and again provide you with a highly unique, very usable library to infuse world class ethnic vocals into your project.

Again Sonokinetic sticks with its unbeatable pricing module and high quality sampling standards.
This is an absolute giveaway and hard to resist library if this is what your project needs.
We’re proud to release “Güzin” and let her spread the inspiration of the Turkish female vocal sound and the rich culture of the Ottoman Empire.

We again push the limit trying to capture the magic of very particular music styles with this wide selection of easy to use vocal performances and in doing so providing you the possibility, when need arises, to compose in true Middle-Eastern fashion and blow away your clientele with tracks containing truly professional sounding vocals.

The Interface
The GUI for Güzin consists of six main buttons to choose between themed groups of phrases. There are also controls for ITM and reverb. Phrase length is also indicated.

Theme Buttons
With the six main buttons you select a specific theme for your session. The samples contained within each theme are based upon the following moods: Remembrance, Peaceful, Joyful, Lament, Strong or Wonder. Güzin loads only the samples that are needed for the theme chosen. Samples that are not used are purged from memory once you select another theme.

When you choose one of the six themes the available root keys are displayed as red keys from MIDI key A0 to G#1. The limitations of the human voice and the need for realistic time stretching dictate the sample mapping. Phrases are mapped to the blue keys from MIDI key C3 and upwards. This range varies depending on which theme you have chosen.

The green keys towards the top of the keyboard trigger short phrase end note samples at an appropriate pitch. The blue key at C2 triggers a random breath intake sample from a possible 68 different samples.

The Artist
Güzin Degismez was born in Bursa in 1962. After her graduation from Bursa High School for Girls, started her music studies at Bursa Music Society with Erdinç Çelikkol.
