Spectrasonics Symphony Of Voices (5CD's)

Price: $499
Infos
Symphony of Voices from Spectrasonics is an ambitious effort to provide a comprehensive collection of vocal samples that rise above the usual lifeless Vox pad. In fact, the four CD-ROMs in this collection are just the first of two volumes, the second being the three-CD-ROM set called Vocal Planet, scheduled for release later this fall, and which will contain vocal samples of the world's music cultures as well as blues, gospel, and jazz vocals. Perhaps I should characterize Symphony of Voices as an exhaustive effort instead of merely ambitious: Not only did Spectrasonics collect thousands upon thousands of vocal samples, they also programmed and organized them into musically useful patches.

"This is one awesome set of samples. You couldn't ask for a more thorough or more musical approach. The sound quality is uniformly excellent, the programming makes using the samples seem completely natural, and the documentation is extensive. You should have no problem finding what you need on these discs...what was not edited out is the human element and the musicality of the samples...Overall, this set is simply stunning. The selection of material is practical and useful..the natural church ambiance on many of the samples is luscious. For classical-flavored music, film scoring, or commercial music utilizing voice parts, I see Symphony of Voices as a must-have tool. It is without a doubt the ultimate library of choral samples. If you want to make those sounds you need this set."
-KEYBOARD magazine Double 10 star review -awarded Key Buy
"Absolutely BRILLIANT! These are beautiful sounds that will work great in my music. The Gregorian Men and Choir FX are really cool and unique."
-HANS ZIMMER (Gladiator, The Lion King, Crimson Tide, Rain Man, The Rock, As Good As It Gets, Prince of Egypt)
"The Boys Choir is amazing. We used them in Good Will Hunting. Very Impressive."
-DANNY ELFMAN (Batman, Men in Black, Black Beauty, Good Will Hunting)
"FIVE STARS....Recorded & programmed with meticulous precision...the amount of work that went into this project was immense, but how does it sound? Not surprisingly, it sounds very good indeed...the samples work perfectly in a performance context and sound very human, even when covering already familiar single vowel choral territory. In a creative context, the evolving vowel sounds work exceptionally well...usable in a wide range of musical styles...superbly recorded...Symphony of Voices might cost a lot of money, but it is clearly the definitive vocal sampling work, and considering the enormous amount of effort that went into its creation, I have to say that it is worth it. I'm also impressed by the thorough sleeve notes that include a number of practical tips on how to use the samples. Eric and his team have worked hard for their five stars and well deserved they are."
-Sound on Sound magazine (UK)
"These are the best voices I've ever heard. Mind-blowing!"
-STEVE LINDSEY (Producer -Elton John, Luther Vandross, Celine Dion, Aaron Neville, Leonard Cohen)
"Without a doubt the sound quality throughout Symphony of Voices could be described with one word and one word only: flawless. The choir has been captured with a masterful touch of perfection, with lush vocal pads, phrases and effects that are truly inspiring to work with....The performances delivered by all of the vocalists that have been sampled are also first rate and the samples lend themselves well to external processing with reverbs and other effects. Whether in the forefront of your composition or buried within your mix to add subtle texture, one of the most important things that I took note of with this collection is that the samples actually WORK within your music. They're not too obtrusive, they're not too weak and it appears that the producers and engineers who worked on Symphony of Voices have made a very conscious effort to strike that delicate balance between great sounding samples and musical usability and feasibility...Samples that sound great are one thing. Samples that sound great and that you can actually use are a whole other ballgame. Symphony of Voices is one of those rare collections of masterfully created samples that not only sounds great with patches that perform as you would want them to perform, but envelops you in a wall of rich, unique and dynamically inspiring sound. It has a soul all its own...The booklets are extremely detailed and well laid out, making it a snap to find exactly what you're looking for...These probably have to be the most detailed and helpful liner notes I've seen that accompany a sample library, so hats off to the producers of this library for taking the time and putting the effort into creating liner notes that actually help and educate the user/composer using the samples. This makes the library accessible to everyone, regardless of your knowledge or experience in working with choral music....SOV remains one of the landmark vocal sample libraries released to date...every sample on this library is incredibly useful and inspiring to work with..Whether you're doing film, television, album work or otherwise, Symphony of Voices is a masterfully created library of sampled voices that no composer that uses samples should be without."

"I have been looking for these sounds for years. The Women and Boys Choir are outstanding. This collection has been working wonderfully for me. Thanks Spectrasonics!"
-MARK ISHAM (Fly Away Home, The Moderns, Never Cry Wolf, Quiz Show, A River Runs Through It)
"The quality is really excellent. The Moving Vowels technique is an extremely innovative concept. This library is going to inspire a lot of people!"
-CHRISTOPHER FRANKE (Tangerine Dream, Babylon 5, Celestine Prophesies)
"SPECTACULAR! Sometimes your samples work better than real singers. The best in the business."
-JAMES NEWTON-HOWARD (My Best Friend's Wedding, The Perfect Murder, Devil's Advocate, Waterworld, Dave, Primal Fear, Pretty Woman)
"GLORIOUS! These sounds are simply fantastic!"
-TREVOR RABIN (Yes, Con Air, Twister, Armaggedon)
"Totally HAPPENING! The London Choir is awesome. I LOVE these sounds!"
-ROBBIE BUCHANAN (David Bowie, Beauty & the Beast, Pocahontas, Sergio Mendes, Vanessa Williams)
"The recording quality is amazing! This is a major help to have access to this quality of samples."
-DAVID NEWMAN (The Nutty Professor, Throw Mama from the Train, Anastasia)
"These sounds are incredible! The Pop Stacks are really thick and impressive and the Boys Choirs are brilliant. You guys must have spent a lot of time on this because it shows. I've needed Gregorian stuff before, and now it's all here! This is better quality than anything else out there."
-STEVE PORCARO (Toto, Michael Jackson, Don Henley)
"...sounds unbelievably evocative and real...the choir FX are out of this world...recorded and sung so excellently there is no doubt you will be hearing this for many years to come...This is a hugely impressive piece of work...Spectrasonics are to be congratulated on the time, effort and details they have put into Symphony of Voices. If you do any kind of soundtrack A.V. or advert work these CDs are essential. They are going to be as important a tool as the Peter Siedlaczek classical CDs have become and, as such, the price begins to look like peanuts!"
-Technologica (UK) review
"The recordings are of the highest quality, yet maintain a 'live' element that makes them so much more convincing than their synthesized rivals. Probably the most useable CD for pop samplists...a lush, full feel to the recordings....a huge amount of versatility...The well selected singers have great tones of their own, and when they are judicially combined, some of the resultant timbres are mind boggling. The sounds on this collection in themselves make it a difficult one to ignore for samplists needing natural sounding vocals for their recordings. Combine that with the intuitive and useful inlay books, including tips and techniques, and the CD-ROM capability, and Symphony of Voices becomes an absolute essential sampling tool."

Psycho Toolkit is a bundle of plugins that were largely unexpected results of research while developing Clone Ensemble, Alien Solo and Voice Trap. The tools are aimed at sound design rather than mainstream audio production.
Psycho Toolkit includes:
Barnum Preamp - OTT warmth-adding analogizer thingy
Excitable Boy - aural enhancer / exciter that goes too far
Flip Speed - rectification-based and playback speed octave generator with an attitude problem
Metal Demon - death metal vocal effect to defile the purest voice
Sick Puppy - seriously twisted wave-peak analysis distortion generator
Trash Triode - vacuum tube and cheap amp construction kit
Water Glass - noise reduction and texture generation
Listen
Listen to this MP3 of all Psycho Toolkit plugins in action (452k).
First up you'll hear a really lame multitrack vocal composition. Then you'll hear exacly the same piece again, but this time every track has been processed by one (or more) of the Psycho Toolkit plugins:
* Percussion: beefed up with Excitable Boy
* Bassline: transposed down and transfored by Flip Speed
* Rhythm guitar: pumped through Trash Triode
* Lead vocal: corrupted by Metal Demon
* Lead guitar: transposed up by Flip Speed then destroyed by Sick Puppy
Is the world ready for a-capella beatbox deathmetal?

Das Modulare Klanglabor
REAKTOR 5 gibt dem Musiker und Produzenten nahezu grenzenlose Möglichkeiten für Klangsynthese, Sampling, Effekte und Sequencing. Das modulare Software-Studio vereint zwei Welten zu einem konkurrenzlos vielseitigen Klanglabor: Zum einen ist REAKTOR eine riesige Sammlung hochkarätiger Instrumente und Effekte für Studio und Bühne. Zum anderen erlaubt REAKTOR dank der modularen Architektur das Modifizieren von Instrumenten und sogar das Konstruieren ganz neuer Klangmaschinen.
Ein Universum voller Instrumente
REAKTOR 5 enthält eine neu gestaltete Library voller wegweisender Instrumente mit unzähligen Presets. Darin finden sich einzigartige Synthesizer und Effekte, Drum Machines und Spezial-Sampler, Instrumente mit integrierten Sequenzern und innovative Live-Performance-Tools.
Die Werkslibrary ist allerdings erst der Anfang: REAKTOR-Nutzer können in der User Library der NI-Webseite mehr als 2100 zusätzliche Instrumente herunterladen, die von anderen Usern konstruiert wurden. Ein faszinierendes und beständig wachsendes Universum voller Audio-Tools und Sounds!
Technologischer Vorsprung
REAKTOR macht mit Version 5 einen erheblichen Technologiesprung: Die brandneue REAKTOR Core Technology? ebnet den Weg zu völlig neuartigen Instrumenten und eröffnet neue Dimensionen in Sound und Flexibilität. Darüber hinaus sorgen unzählige neue Funktionen für erweiterte Möglichkeiten ? darunter die vielseitigen Sequenzer, flexiblen Hüllkurven mit Temporaster und Looping und vieles mehr. Gleichzeitig wurde die neu gestaltete Bedienoberfläche noch klarer und übersichtlicher, womit REAKTOR 5 jetzt auch für Newcomer sofort nutzbar ist.
Im Kern des Klangs
Wer tiefer einsteigen will, kann dank der modularen Architektur Instrumente individuell verändern und sogar komplett neu konstruieren. Auch die Bedienoberflächen sind mit Version 5 so flexibel formbar wie nie und können individuell gestaltet werden. Gleichzeitig sorgt die Reaktor Core Technology? für völlig neue Möglichkeiten, da sie das Programmieren eigener Bausteine auf der Modul-Ebene erlaubt, um z.B. eigene Filter und Oszillatoren zu entwerfen. Der integriert Run-Time-Compiler sorgt dabei für maximale Effizienz.
Von dieser Fülle an technischen Innovationen profitiert nicht nur der Instrumenten-Konstrukteur, sondern vor allem auch der Musiker und Produzent, der sich auf ganz neue Soundtools freuen kann, die es sonst nirgendwo gibt.

?Videos und visuelle Effekte in Echtzeit mischen?
von Laura Sommer
Arkaos VJ ist das ideale Werkzeuge für Video-Jockeys (VJs). Mit der Shareware erzeugen Sie effektvolle und beeindruckende Video-Präsentationen für Konzerte, Diskotheken und Live-Performances. Mischen Sie Videomaterial von Festplatte, Webcam und anderen Videoquellen in Echtzeit zu einem ganz individuellen Mix.
Arkaos gibt dem VJ unzählige Effekte und Filter an die Hand. Zusammen mit beliebigem Videomaterial lassen sich daraus farbenfrohe, kreative Untermalungen für Live-Musikveranstaltungen aller Art erzeugen. Arkaos VJ unterstützt alle gängigen Video- und Bildformate, darunter BMP, JPG, AVI, MOV und MPG. Anhand eines so genannten Beat-Mappers lassen sich zudem die Übergänge zwischen zwei Songs exakt aufeinander abstimmen.
Lassen Sie Arkaos das Kommando übernehmen und das eingespielte Material automatisch nach Ihren Vorgaben der Musik anpassen. Alternativ können Sie etwa über ein an den Rechner angeschlossenes MIDI-Keyboard in Echtzeit kreativ werden. Dafür stehen mehr als 60 Effekte bereit, die beliebig manipuliert und untereinander kombiniert werden können. Schließen Sie einen Video-Beamer an Ihren Rechner an. Schon steht einem multimedialen Erlebnis nichts mehr im Wege!
