Three simultaneous stereo-mic setups operate in conjunction for each choral section, soloist, or sample. They provide:

• A full stereo soundstage
• A close, focused stereo sound
• A hall stereo response

All three pickup signals are synchronized to the choir’s position for correct time-phase arrival. They are also pre-equalized so they can fit into a traditional large-scale mix with other sections and instruments from EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra.

By selecting different mic positions, users can mix these sounds together to create any kind of natural ambience their project requires. This eliminates the need for artificial reverb.

Wordbuilder, built into included EastWest’s Opus software, is the word-building software that enables Symphonic Choirs and Symphonic Choirs Expansion owners to type in words for the choir to sing. This revolutionary software offers a pop-down menu that includes popular prebuilt phrases that you can load instantly.

This is a real time saver for those on a tight deadline. The phrases have been optimized for each Choir. The phrases menu is customizable, so you can add your own phrases to WordBuilder for quick and easy access.

Opus is the advanced player engine that powers the Symphonic Choirs Platinum Plus Voices of the Apocalypse Expansion library. Fast and flexible, it comes with incredible features such as individual instrument auditioning and downloads, customized key switches, dozens of new MIDI tools and mixer effects, scalable retina GUI upgrades for legacy products, a powerful script language, and many more options that allow you to completely customize the sound of each instrument.
