Granted, you don't have to use the word builder at all, but if that's the case then there are other newer and cheaper choir libraries that might serve you better. East West Symphonic Choirs Platinum v1.0.9 39.8 Gb Imagine typing words into your computer, in any language, and hearing a world class Symphonic Choir sing those words in any key(s) you play 'live' on your keyboard controller Well imagine no more, thats exactly what this revolutionary 'award-winning' virtual instrument does. It is the most difficult library I've ever used and it requires a lot of fiddly detail work to get it to sound decent.
EAST WEST SYMPHONIC CHOIRS TPB SOFTWARE
Wordbuilder, now built into EastWest's Play software, is the word building software that enables Symphonic Choirs and Symphonic Choirs Expansion users to type in words for the Choirs to sing. I'd advise against getting EWQL Choirs unless you're okay with an extremely steep learning curve on the word builder. When actual symphonic choirs sing in those huge halls, most people (if any) cannot really understand what theyre singing about - it IS a garble Its not the point of sample libraries to get absolutely intelligible lines of text, at all - but the sense of something being sung in syllables. The Symphonic Choirs Expansion (Voices of the Apocalypse content) was recorded separately, at 24-bit resolution with a single mic position. Gold XP is no longer available - I think it added the extra mic positions to Gold that are currently available as part of Platinum. I haven't used Silver, so I can't comment on how useful it is, but from what I've seen online, Gold seems to be the most popular of the three among people making their first big orchestral library purchase.ĮWQL SO runs on PLAY, which is included with the library. Silver has fewer articulations than Gold/Platinum (there's a comparison chart somewhere on the EWQL site). Johnson, the EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA was honored with Sound On Sounds Readers Choice Award an unprecedented 3-times, and the very first orchestral collection to be recorded in a 'state of the art' concert hall where orchestras mainly perform. If you don't look at multiple mic positions and say, "This is a thing that I need!" then Gold will probably be a better choice. Recorded by 11-time Grammy nominated classical recording engineer Prof. Gold and Platinum have the same articulations, but Platinum includes two additional mic positions and 24-bit samples rather than 16-bit.
