Journey to the Elven Lands
Discover a whole new level of cinematic fantasy singing with Eastwest Hollywood Fantasy Voices. This remarkable collection has been meticulously crafted to bridge the gap between trained singers and true vocalists, allowing you to create epic soundtracks with mythic fantasy vocals that will transport your audience to distant lands. With multiple microphone positions, portamento control, and three mood settings (Soft, Classic, and Epic), this is the ultimate tool for composers and producers who want to command the power of majestic fantasy vocals.
Featuring the awe-inspiring voice of singer Merethe Soltvedt, as well as full male and female choirs, Hollywood Fantasy Voices brings ethereal and floating vocals to your compositions. Whether you need to capture the essence of battles, lost kingdoms, or emotional trials, Merethe's voice will sell the scene, breathing life into your music when nothing else can. What sets this library apart is that every word recorded comes directly from Tolkien's Elvish language, ensuring the utmost authenticity in your scores. If you're a fan of fantasy movies, you'll absolutely love the ability to make your compositions as genuine as possible.
Command the Mood
With Hollywood Fantasy Voices, you have complete control over the mood of your music. Each instrument is programmed with three distinct moods, ranging from the most authentic to the most cinematic: Classic, Soft, and Epic. You can effortlessly rotate through these different qualities to suit your needs, allowing you to fill your compositions with the exact fantasy percussion sound you envision. The Classic Mood delivers the signature sound of previous Hollywood libraries, offering a softer tone that's perfect for slower, emotional passages and solo pieces. When you need to crank up the intensity, simply switch to the Epic Mood and unlock a more aggressive and punchy sound, perfect for action-packed adventure scenes or high-speed chase sequences.
OPUS Engine Control
The Eastwest Hollywood Fantasy Voices collection is powered by the powerful and advanced OPUS Engine. This engine provides unparalleled control over each instrument, delivering an efficient and smooth performance that won't overload your computer's resources. Its CPU-optimized design ensures that you can load multiple stacked instruments without sacrificing performance. With the OPUS Engine, you can define octave and key ranges, trigger actions, and more, all while keeping your CPU usage in check.
Create your own customisable key switches to build a personal performance instrument, allowing for on-the-fly changes and seamless transitions between articulations. Additionally, you have the freedom to adjust the level and pan of four distinct mic positions, including close, mid, main, and surround, giving you complete control over the sonic dimension of your compositions. All of these powerful features are wrapped in a high-resolution and fully scalable interface, ensuring a seamless and visually appealing experience as you craft your musical masterpieces.
What's included
- Sustains: With Merethe's captivating vocals, complexity of CC automation is eliminated. Just holding a single note is enough. By switching between Lyrical (for dynamic vowels) and Vibrato (for sustained, energetic vowels) can instantly added to scores, similar to Howard Shore's Evenstar from The Two Towers. Each note is brimming with magic and emotion, poised to enhance a fantasy orchestra.
- Legato: Recording true legato passages, Merthe's emotive voice delivers maximum realism and expression. Evoke the rolling holls, distant winds with grand, expressive legato transitions recorded in both ascending and descending order with huge intervals for any key your composition is in.
- Elvish Words: 60 different words from Tolkien's original Elvish language have been recorded with same attention to detail as all other articulations. Using these words, you can use them in isolation or chained together for your own phrases.
- Phrases: Instantly set the mood for brooding, somber, and ominous fantasy scores. When you need a strong vocal line but don’t know what melody to write, and you want maximum realism and emotion, these ad lib phrases let you create the perfect part by playing a single note. All are organized into patches by key, so you never have to go hunting for the perfect vocal part when you’re deep in writing mode.
- Choir: The Hollywood Fantasy Voices collection offers an enchanting choir to complement your lead vocalist, featuring both male and female voices. This choir presents various vowels, enriching your project with a broad spectrum of sounds for those heroic and impactful scenes. Inspired heavily by traditional folk music, this choir stands out, especially in scenarios where typical "epic" choirs may not be the ideal choice.
- Keyswitch: The addition of a keyswitch section streamlines the entire instrument, consolidating multiple elements into a few comprehensive patches. This feature simplifies your workflow, reducing the number of tracks and menu navigation needed to incorporate a variety of fantasy voices. It encompasses options like a complete choir, separate men’s and women’s choirs, along with Merethe's unique recordings of sustained notes, phrases, and Elvish words.
