The library includes 8 nki patches for the full version of Native Instrument’s Kontakt. Features include two vocalise (long vowel performances) patches with two legato modes, sustains, glides, and falls; three short syllable patches with auto repetition mode; a dedicated unpitched ‘ch’ and ‘cha’ patch; and two extra patches of various unpitched exclamations, effects, and spoken words and phrases. THE RECORDINGS: We went all out on recording this project as authentically as possible. Working at Manhattan's iconic Sear Sound Studio A, we captured the sound of three elite NYC session singers, using the tools and techniques of the era. A brief list of the coveted classic gear we used includes, original Neumann U67 tube mic, RCA DX77 ribbon mic, Neve 8038 custom console, Fairchild limiter, and Ampex 1/2” tape machine. Each patch offers 3 microphone positions: Close mic 1 (Neumann U67) Close mic 2 (RCA 77) Stereo room mic (Sear Sound custom setup) INCLUDED NKI FILES (8): Ooh vocalise Ah vocalise Zooh shorts Bah shorts Dooh shorts Ch and Cha Exclamations Spoken words and phrases COMPLETE ARTICULATION LIST: Ooh legato (2 modes) Ooh sustain (poly) Ooh glides up Ooh glides down Ooh falls Ah legato (2 modes) Ah sustain (poly) Ah glides up Ah glides down Ah falls Zooh medium Zooh short Zooh auto-repetition performance Zooh falls longs Zooh falls short Bah medium Bah short Bah auto-repetition performance Bah falls longs Bah falls short Dooh medium Dooh short Dooh auto-repetition performance Dooh falls longs Dooh falls short Cha whisper long Cha whisper short Cha whisper repetition (very short) Ch long Ch medium Ch short Ch repetition (very short) Wow fall unpitched Wooh fall unpitched Ah fall unpitched Ah fall “refreshing” Ah rise (pitched) Shhh (whisper) Various words & phrases THE AUTHENTIC SOUNDWARE DIFFERENCE: Truly authentic-sounding recordings Access to the very best musicians in NYC Sounds and articulations you can't find anywhere else Vintage gear and recording techniques Watermarked files delivered via the Pulse downloader Kontakt format compatible with all major DAWs (Ableton, Logic, Cubase, ProTools, GarageBand, Studio One, Reaper, FL Studio 20)SPACE AGE VOICES
