Ceres (4GB)

“Ceres” is the first of the Celestial Voices, by Auddict, featuring the soaring, ethereal vocals of singer, Tanya Wells. Tanya’s flawless vocals, trained and refined in India, have taken her performing at the Cannes Film Festival for Anoushka Shankar, opening for Joss Stone, Nitin Sawhney and Nicki Wells (her twin sister), as well as recording vocals for the 2014 movie “Hercules”.

Auddict wanted to make this instrument even more musical, so they came up with the idea of the phrase builder module. With the phrase-builder, which you can see in the Kontakt interface, you can shape your musical phrase by using a key-switch to determine how the first note of a phrase will be sung.

You can also switch as you play, between normal legato intervals, and portamento intervals, each individually sampled for all four vowels, giving a total of eight true legato sounds, as well as adding touches of vibrato in with the controls (MIDI map-able), to add an extra level of depth, variety and belief to your sound.

Here is a full list of available articulations:

Legato, Portamento and Vibrato controls

Chest, Prescence and Air controls

Mordents, Up Bends, Down Bends, Turns and Crescendos

As well as the phrase-builder, there are five more sets of individually playable sounds available, also select-able via a key-switch mapped to your keyboard. These are:

Whispers – Soft whispered vowels, great for adding both eerie and spiritual levels to your music, particularly film/game score music.

– Soft whispered vowels, great for adding both eerie and spiritual levels to your music, particularly film/game score music. Ornament – A slightly more complex ornament recorded on each note for extra musical embellishment.

– A slightly more complex ornament recorded on each note for extra musical embellishment. Phrases – Short phrases sung, recorded, and mapped to each key, which make musical sense when played one after another.

– Short phrases sung, recorded, and mapped to each key, which make musical sense when played one after another. Long & Short Swells – True sampled crescendo / diminuendo samples, timed together so you can play polyphonically, and the dynamics of each sample will remain perfectly matched throughout. These are perfect for adding a real expressive, human sound to your music.

As you can see, the range of controls available is very comprehensive, allowing you to craft your own sound and making this library well suited to all types of music, from Epic Trailer tracks to intimate solo vocals!
