East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs is a library offering choruses recorded in the same conditions as East Symphonic Orchestra. Choruses of men, of women and of children are offered, declined
sopranos, violas, tenors and basses there. Soloists soprano, viola and tenor are also available. Articulations there staccato and
legato allow to vary the game of choruses.
The main feature of this library is not to offer choruses but to make them sing. In other words idea is not to reproduce classical Oh, ah,
Eh,
Mmm but to enter oneself a sentence which will sing the chorus. How it works technically? An additional tool is included in
Play, it is about
WordBuilder. According to syllables entered in
WordBuilder, the tool uses automatically a series of
keyswitches (vowels and consonants) to reproduce sentence. One might as well say that the number of used articulations is important, that is why, in
Play,
multis, that is to say group of articulations with different
keyswitches are loaded. He size in random access memory is therefore consequent.
Result is conclusive on the whole rather unless respecting some conditions. The phrasing should not be too quick because some time is needed to formulate words. You should not either expect to differentiate sung words apparently. Objective is not to get a discernible text but rather to produce variations in song allowing to suggest a true chorus. The writing of a sentence can be made in English or via
Votox, internal language in
Wordbuilder. One needs some time therefore to get used to alphabet and to reproduce exactly the sound which is wanted (for example ' u ' French is difficult to reproduce). The tool has an integrated dictionary allowing to translate automatically the most common words as well as a library of sentences into Latin and into English.
Extension Voices Of The Apocalypse integrates perfectly with the library and offers two darker additional choruses: angels and demons. Quality is less good on the whole than choruses offered in the initial library. The purchase of this extension am not therefore justified because it does not bring reals more.
In conclusion, the principle of East West Quantum Leap
Symphonic Choirs is rather unique. The library is good quality.
Wordbuilder gives good results and the phrasing allows to bring variations in the chorus. A good computer is however needed to be able to use in a fluid way a full chorus.
Wordbuilder must also be arrested to succeed in producing a convincing result (use of
Votox, manipulation of the different parametres of the phrasing: lasted, attack). Anyhow, East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs is a library particularly interesting for the quantity of options which she offers.
