The Operatic vocal
Powered by four outstanding singers spanning the range of classical soprano, alto, tenor and bass ranges, Voices of Rapture is the premier operatic vocal instrument. Powerful and full-bodied, each voice within Voices of Rapture features a distinctive flavour and has been sampled with a myriad of chromatic articulations including true legato, vowel sustains, single and multi-syllable staccato. Additionally, Latin chanting sustains are included with independent solo and combined ensemble presets spanning multiple voices simultaneously.
A total of nearly 50 hours of recording has been captured, spanning a tremendous range of vocals. Included in these sessions are a plethora of dynamic live phrases, categorised into various keys and tempos with a choice of Pure Vowel, French, Latin, Humming and even Whistling categories. Powerful control over each phrase is employed through step-sequencing, tempo control and manual phrase editing through the onboard wave display.
Immaculate realism
Recorded in a state-of-the-art isolation booth, the Voices Of Rapture Collection offers stunning detail and articulation with every voice. Using industry-leading microphones, consoles and equipment, each singer is presented in its purest form with complete transparency of sound. A result of this attention to detail means that sonic impurities from body and clothing movements by the performer may be audible in some of the recordings. Aiming to maintain authenticity, these noises have been intentionally kept in to enhance the realism within your recordings to break free from sterile precision.
Add some space to your vocals
Captured in a wide variety of real-world locations, Voices of Rapture Collection features 119 convolution reverbs to add depth and dimension to your vocals. Spaces from halls, chambers, studios and even outdoor environments help to set your vocals within the mix, enhancing the decay for a smooth and natural timbre that blends with your mix with ease. Add to this a plethora of unique and creative special effect impulses, you can completely transform your vocals into a brand-new sound, broadening what's possible with conventional vocal sounds. Recorded in a dry studio with meticulous attention to detail, the Voices of Rapture Collection comes alive when blended with the onboard reverbs, adding excitement and a professional edge to your productions.
Modular FX rack
Explore your creative side using the onboard modular FX rack. Choosing between 18 different modules, you can select up to 10 effects simultaneously to reshape and redesign your vocals the way you want them. The modular nature means that ay of the effects can be freely moved around to change the signal path of your instrument.
