Tonehammer Requiem Pro KONTAKT | 28.4 Gb
REQUIEM is the successful culmination of a dream we have had for several years. We always believed that there was another way of sampling choir and vocals. We believed it would be possible to have completely audio-realistic choir samples with a strong emotional connection. We believed that we needed to cover all the basic articulations, but also add a variety of new dimensions to this powerful type of sampling.
REQUIEM was recorded over a period of two weeks in one of the oldest and most known cathedrals in San Francisco. The conductor, Robert Geary, is one of the leading choir conductors in the the US and the choir includes members of his multi-award winning VOLTI choir and members from the SF Choral Society.
REQUIEM is the next-generation virtual choir developed for professional composers. The library is based on a variety of new recording and sampling techniques some which have never before been deployed in choral sample libraries. The library can literally sound like a real choir and includes both full choir (SATB), divisi groups (males/females) and solo singers – all recorded in 24 bit / 44.1khz with a total of 6 unique microphone positions. In Requiem Light, these microphone positions are mixed down into a single well-balanced blend, providing all the quality, depth, power, tone and body of our Pro version, while allowing a significant overall conservation of system resources (cpu, ram, storage space and disk streaming bandwidth) and greater ease of use.
We've simplified the content to provide just the most essential articulations and presets.
The library contains sustains and polyphonic true legato from piano to forte, covering 3 primary vowel sounds, over a dozen vowel sustaining variants, 2-velocity staccato with 2X round-robin, ultra forte marcato, two unique phrase and chant sequencers, latin chants recorded at different speeds across entire interval of choir with playable real-time legato functionality, +1000 choral effects including whispers, shouts, clusters, demonic chants, sweeps, consonants, claps, snaps and dozens of other effect types.
