Synced to the BPM of your DAW it is the perfect instrument to create great hybrid soundtracks.
Ethera Gold True Legato is an instrument that utilises playback ‘true legato’ intervals when playing connected (legato) notes for every interval up to an octave in either direction and sustain layers that playback when not playing in legato mode. This new Epic True Legato is based on the Clara’s powerful Epic Vocal. We have sampled each interval chromatically. There are no artificial pitching effects only a genuine human voice for up 3.5 octaves of actual vocal range. Every interval contains up to 3 sample articulations which you can control by Midi-Velocity. There is also a Scripted Legato Instrument with 4 additional articulations.

Using the powerful Kontakt Engine, you can change the original BPM using the Time Mode function.

Let’s do a review of the new Kontakt Choir Sample Library Chorus by Audio Imperia.
Review of Audio Imperia Chorus
Audio Imperia presents the all-new Chorus library, recorded in collaboration with Performance Samples. This comprehensive collection contains 24 women’s and 24 men’s voices, with four mic positions and three ready-to-go mixes: Classic, Modern, and Scott Michael Smith. Additionally, the Chorus library features various dynamic and expressive vowel articulations, as well as true legato sustains for an authentic and emotional choir sound. This versatile collection also includes a wide range of staccatos, marcatos, and whispers, providing users with the tools to create impactful and captivating cinematic compositions. To further enhance the sonic quality of the Chorus library, Audio Imperia integrated the powerful ebony by acustica audio plugin for added richness and depth to the overall sound.
The included syllable patches are Traditional, Energetic, and Slow, making it easy to find the perfect sound for your project.
With over 70 GB of installed content (in NCW format), this library is a must-have for any composer or producer looking for realistic choir sounds.
Atelier Series Fauxgorian
Musical Sampling finally releases Atelier Series Fauxgorian – a lush legato male vocal library intended for cinematic and electronic contexts.
Atelier Series Fauxgorian Patches
- Fauxgorian Legato – Ooo
- Fauxgorian Legato – Ahh
- Fauxgorian Legato – Mmm
- Fauxgorian Solo Legato – Ooo
- Fauxgorian Solo Legato – Mmm
- Perpetuum – Keyswitch
- Pagan Ritual
- The Black Speech
Atelier Series Fauxgorian is a delicious legato male vocal release designed for cinematic and electronic contexts. Produced by producer/composer Brad Jerkins, Fauxgorian’s initial aim was to produce a vocal legato library that was a bit more unconventional. We recorded three different vowels (ahh, mmm, ooo) and processed the recordings to achieve a unique, wide, quasi-Gregorian flavor that can suit a variety of modern settings. We also provided two natural solo legato patches (ooo, mmm).
Also included is Pagan Ritual – a brooding, deep, organic instrument that works great for heavy, amoebic basslines. Perpetuum – key-switch patch housing five presets of evolving vowel sustains processed with a bespoke array of hardware pedals. The Black Speech – a collection of processed whisper chants both solo and faux ensemble (try not to use these in a track at 3 AM).
Requires full retail version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher, the Free Kontakt Player is NOT supported.
What Is The Atelier Series?
Oftentimes during the research and experimental phase of development, Musical Sampling creates instruments that don’t necessarily belong to a bigger, themed release. Instead of attempting to shoehorn them into a future release or trying to construct a comprehensive product around it, Musical Sampling decided to create the Atelier Series so that other composers can enjoy their explorations in sample development as well.
Pricing and Availability
Atelier Series Fauxgorian is available now for a standard introductory price: $39 (reg. $69) or for Maggie/Amy Owners: $29 (reg. $69)

Two Steps from Hell – Chaos Theory – Another day
Let’s talk about Choirs in trailer music. In this video, I want to explain my method on how to implement choirs and come up with a dense arrangement in an already dense musical environment.
As an example, I am using the track Another Day from my album Chaos Theory that I have written for Two Steps from Hell.
