There are 3 True Legato types, with 'Ah', 'Oh', and 'Oo' vowels, each painstakingly captured using the traditional long-form method to allow maximum realism and fluidity.

You'll also find 29 Latin and vowel staccato syllables and words, with precision attack shaping and syllable switching.

There are 12 sustaining chromatic Latin chants, each with synchronized legato, tempo-synching, and instant work selection.

All chromatic articulations have a playable range of over 2 octaves.

The Phrase collection includes 1466 fast and slow melodic elements, with real-time tempo-synching and time-stretching.

Each Phrase bank includes automatic tempo-synching, time stretching root key selection, easy transposition, step sequencing, breath FX, and more.

We've also included a deep selection of sound-designed vocal ambiences, drones, atmospheres, and pad instruments, crafted from his voice.

Kontakt Format

This library is designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.1 or later. Kontakt is an industry-standard advanced virtual instrument software platform. You can view screenshots of this library's custom graphical user interface in the image gallery above. This library is packed with features to provide you a wide range of sound-shaping parameter controls, each one totally automation-ready in your host environment or Kontakt's stand-alone mode.

This is a standard Kontakt open-format library, so the free Kontakt Player does not fully support it and can only run it in a limited "demo mode". However, the sample directories are unlocked so you can use them in other wav-compatible software, sampler and synth formats. The special Libraries tab doesn't support this open-format Kontakt library, but you can use the standard File browser tab and import this library into the Kontakt Quickload window for easy loading and navigation.
