previously "SYNCHRON-ized Soprano Choir"
Studio Soprano Choir is based on its Vienna Instruments namesake, and offers a completely overhauled sample database optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player. Our goal was to improve each instrument’s playability and realism even more, which we achieved by enhancing the sample recordings as well as by utilizing the Synchron Player’s unique features.
The Vienna Symphonic Library held extensive castings to find 16 singers for its Soprano Choir who could sing the soprano’s whole tonal range, and also harmonically blend in with the group’s overall sound. After several test recordings, the first vocal sessions took place at the Silent Stage.
Soprano Choir offers staccato, long notes, legato, and dynamics on the vowels “AA” and “UU”.
If parallel mode in the first dimension is enabled and Dim.Ctrl/B assigned instead of A0(w), it is possible to switch between AA and UU vowels in the middle of notes. However, you should be aware that twice as many voices will be streamed, so that using this option will take much more performance.
- AA/UU switches: A0/A#0.
- Articulation switches: C1–E1.
Staccato on “aa”, “ra”, “sa”, “ta” / “uu”, “ru”, “su”, “tu”. For consistency with other voice Collections, “pa”/”pu” are replaced by copies of “aa”/”uu”.
- Vowels and Consonants: C2–E2.
Long notes and legato normal, plus a variant with marcato attack on vowels and consonants.
- Normal/marcato: G1/G#1.
Keystroke velocity determines the marcato attack amount.
- Vowels and consonants: C2–E2.
- Marcato attack: Dim.Ctrl/A (keystroke velocity).
Sforzato, crescendo and diminuendo, crescendo with marcato attack on vowels and consonants, and fortepiano.
- Dynamics type: G1–B1.
Keystroke velocity determines the marcato attack amount.
- Vowels and consonants: C2–E2.
- Marcato attack: Dim.Ctrl/A (keystroke velocity).
