Description: VocalsA legato vocal release intended for emotional and cinematic contexts.
For this, we needed a tone that would be somewhere between classical and pop music. As luck would have it, our co-producer knew someone who not only fit the description, but also had the vocal stamina needed for this project.
Amy Griffin, a talented vocalist and music educator.
We’ve included two carefully recorded legato sections, played “long style.” This means that after the legato interval is played, there are no programmed transitions into the target sustain. This requires much more recording time (in this case, 12 hours) than traditional legato sampling, but produces a flawless performance that also preserves the natural progression of Amy’s vibrato; musically unique for each interval across the range. Also included is Everlasting, a collection of beautiful, vowel-emphasizing sustains processed by a variety of hardware pedals. Each sample ebbs and flows; each note is unique in its development and cyclicality. This keyswitch pack includes six presets: Beauty, Tundra, Celestial, Elysium, The Signal, and Creation.
