Voice of Rapture: The Soprano

Voice of Rapture: The Soprano sets a new standard in solo vocal sampling for classical operatic voices. Featuring Soprano virtuoso Nichole Dechaine, this 3.5 GB library offers fully playable chromatic content and emotionally charged melodic phrases, giving you unmatched creative freedom, expressive power, and workflow flexibility. Recorded in a warm studio environment, each articulation is carefully programmed into a powerful performance system, delivering superior programming, brilliant performances, and unrivaled sonic quality.

We captured 2 True Legato sustain types with 'Ah' (forte) and 'Oo' (piano) vowels using the full-sustain method for the highest quality and realism. The legato includes adjustable release samples, 3-voice polyphonic support, and transition shaping. Additionally, the library features standard Ah, Eh, Mm, and Oh pure vowel sustains, with both vibrato and non-vibrato variants. Nearly 2 dozen staccato syllables offer precision note shaping and instant syllable switching. You’ll also find a dozen sustaining chromatic Latin chants, each with phrase-synchronized legato and instant word switching, spanning a playable key range of over 2 octaves.

The Phrase section includes 867 improvised melodic phrases at 100 bpm, with real-time tempo-synching or time-stretching modes. Phrases are available in root keys A, B, C, D, E, F, and G (both major and minor variants), with easy transposition control. The library features sections for vowel melodies, Latin melodies based on the traditional Angelic Salutation (“Hail Mary”) in Latin, French phrases from the 19th century poem “Ici-bas” by René-François Sully-Prudhomme, as well as effects and performance elements like whispers, breaths, and more. A deep selection of sound-designed ambiences, drones, atmospheres, pads, and FX instruments is also included. Additionally, the comprehensive FX Rack panel offers multi-effects, compression, EQ, amp/speaker simulation, and convolution reverb with dozens of custom impulses.
