Best Service Atelier Series Virtual Instrument Vocal Bundle, Download

5GB collection of meticulously-crafted legato vocals from 3 different singers.
The goal with these releases was to produce incredibly smooth, emotive patches that can be used for a wide variety of musical contexts. To achieve this, Musical Sampling recorded all the legato "long style" - a technique that takes far more recording time but ensures a smooth sustain after the legato transitions have sounded.

In addition to tuning, frequency adjustments and extensive balancing, all three libraries went through a rigorous programming period that involved zeroing in on precise start-time values for every legato interval individually; down to millisecond adjustments to find their specific sweet spots. The result: Responsive, emotive and balanced legato patches that transition smoothly throughout the entire range.

What Is The Atelier Series?
Oftentimes during the research and experimental phase of development, Musical Sampling creates instruments that don't necessarily belong to a bigger, themed release. Instead of attempting to shoehorn them into a future release or trying to construct a comprehensive product around it, they decided to create the Atelier Series so that other composers can enjoy their explorations in sample development as well.


- Atelier Series Maggie -

Soulful legato vocal release for cinematic and modern songwriting contexts
Atelier Series Maggie is a rich, soulful legato vocal release for emotional, cinematic and modern songwriting contexts. Included are three vowel patches (ahh, ooo, mmm) with natural, progressive vibrato. Musical Sampling spent a lot of time finessing the legato transitions using a variety of post-production and programming techniques to allow Maggie's performances to sail through smoothly.

In addition to the Emotional Legato patches, they've included Evermore; an evolving sustains keyswitch patch. They sourced the material from the vocal recordings and ran them through a bespoke array of hardware pedals for atmospheric, tonal sound design. Included are six presets: Promise, Afterglow, Hallowed, Abyss, Prayer and Stardust.

- Atelier Series Amy -

Legato vocal release intended for emotional and cinematic contexts
Atelier Series Amy is a legato vocal release intended for emotional and cinematic contexts. For this Musical Sampling wanted a tone that was somewhere between classical and pop. As luck would have it, their co-producer knew someone who not only fit the brief but also had the kind of vocal stamina this project required. Enter Amy Griffin; a talented vocalist and music educator.

They've included two extensively-recorded legato patches performed "long-style". This means there are no programmed crossfades into a target sustain after playback of the legato interval. This involves far more recording time (12 hours in this case) than traditional legato sampling but ensures a seamless performance that also retains Amy's natural progression in vibrato; musically-unique for every interval across the range.

Also included is Everlasting - a collection of beautiful, vowel-evolving sustains processed with a variety of hardware pedals. Every sample ebbs and flows; each note unique in how they evolve and loop. This keyswitch suite includes six presets: Beauty, Tundra, Celestial, Elysium, The Signal and Creation.

Patches
• Amy Emotional Legato - Ahh & Mmm
• Everlasting - Keyswitch

Features
• Produced for emotional and cinematic contexts
• Natural, progressive vibrato
• Non-looped performances
• 1.4 GB compressed NCW format
• Angelic, cinematic female legato vocals
• Legato Vowels: Ahh, Mmm

- Atelier Series Fauxgorian -

Lush legato male vocal release for cinematic and electronic contexts
Performed by producer/composer Brad Jerkins, Fauxgorian's initial aim was to create a vocal legato library that was a bit more unconventional. Musical Sampling recorded three different vowels (ahh, mmm, ooo) and processed the recordings to achieve a unique, wide, quasi-Gregorian flavor that can suit a variety of modern settings. They also provided two natural solo legato patches (ooo, mmm).

Also included is Pagan Ritual - a brooding, deep, organic instrument that works great for heavy, amoebic basslines. Perpetuum - keyswitch patch housing five presets of evolving vowel sustains processed with a bespoke array of hardware pedals. The Black Speech - a collection of processed whisper chants both solo and faux ensemble (try not to use these in a track at 3 AM).

Patches
• Fauxgorian Legato - Ooo
• Fauxgorian Legato - Ahh
• Fauxgorian Legato - Mmm
• Fauxgorian Solo Legato - Ooo
