Voices of The Empire features 84 instruments across a variety of categories, including:

Contains a variety of vocal instrument types, including Melismas, Slurs, Sustain Vibratos, Non Vibratos, and Up Downs.
Legato
Instruments play back true legato intervals when playing two connected notes for every interval up to an octave. Available in traditional and Mongolian styles.
Combo
Instruments combine multiple articulations into a single instrument that uses the Mod Wheel (CC1) or Velocity Sensitivity to determine which of the different articulations will playback.
Words
Contains performances of specific words mapped across a 2 octave range. Use the Mod Wheel (CC1) to start the word at the beginning or an alternative start time.
Phrases
Contain a total of 254 phrases sung in western and non-western styles. The average is 21 phrases for each of the 12 root keys. Although they were originally recorded to a tone in each key, they are improvised, and therefore random in nature.
Keyswitch
Instruments combine multiple articulations into a single instrument, and use keyswitches to switch between them. There are keyswitch instruments for Legatos, Melismas, Phrases, Sustains, and Words.
