  • Features five richly captured choirs
  • WordBuilder puts you in charge of each choir

Features five richly captured choirs
Within the EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs - PLAY Edition, you get five carefully captured choirs - boys, alto, soprano, bass, and tenor. Plus, you get many solo singers to work with. Award-winning producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix were at the helm of this collection, working with GRammy-winning classical recording engineer Professor Keith O. Johnson to capture every sample with three premium stereo-microphone setups - close, stage, and hall. You can mix any combination of the microphone positions to control ambience.

WordBuilder puts you in charge of each choir
While many collections offer up excellent choral vowel noises, the EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs - PLAY Edition takes it one step further. With the included WordBuilder software, you can have the Symphonic Choirs sing any phrase - in any language. It even includes 28 popular Latin phrases, so you can quickly build common choral songs. The pop-down menu within WordBuilder is completely customizable, so you can add your own phrases for quick and easy access.

Includes EastWest's custom PLAY interface
EastWest's Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs - PLAY Edition includes the custom PLAY advanced sample engine, designed to give you deep access to the sounds within Symphonic Choirs This 64-bit interface (with 32-bit support as well) lets you load many instruments and voices - up to the maximum your RAM will allow. It also offers built-in networking support, so you can load instruments on other machines and control them from your host computer - it's a professional, fully integrated solution for the most demanding production environments. And, for easy navigation, all of the instruments in the collection are listed in one browser. A favorites section lets you group the instruments you use most and you can even preview instruments in a simple column viewer. An articulations list lets you reference all expressions within the instruments - so there's no need to look up key-switches in charts. Other features include Legato detection, stereo handling, and a built-in microphone mixer, so you can control all microphone positions expressively. What's more, there's a built-in effects engine with a premium reverb section, featuring multiple impulse responses from concert halls and EastWest's own premier studios. PLAY works as an AU, VST, and RTAS plug-in and can also work standalone on Mac and PC computers.

This synth/sample player represents the actual "next level" in the professional arena. Word builder doesn't work in stand alone mode, however you can still play the pitched samples.

The online manual gives some names of compatable VMDs which can be googled but the freebies are 32 bit and the 64 bit units cost $20 on average...Forget it, I've got a killer system so the extra processing associated with running this in a DAW isn't an issue. Once your up and running though, functionality is a breeze with all of the available tutorials on EW web site. No vocal samples to date come close to sounding as human as these. A little tweaking in Word builder (shown in the tutorials) combine with the high quality and definition, anyone would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the real and the virtual. Aside from the stand alone midi problem, QLSC is better than perfect. close [-]

Great Software, But...

If you're a PC user, once again, you'll have to take a second seat to the Mac user. There's no instant gratification here. By that I mean: This is actually two programs that run simultaneously. The Wo... read more [+]rd Builder controls the Chiors with midi messages. So if you want to use this software in the stand alone mode (on a PC), you've gotta find yourself a loopback driver. This is a virtual midi output to input driver that is intrinsic to a Mac but not the PC (so this is partly microsoft's fault [Win 7]) but can be found on the internet after some searching...And you WILL have to SEARCH for it if you're running x64, keeping in mind that most of the freebies out there are quite cheesy or potentialy infected. Now if you have a decent DAW (such as Sonar 8.5), this may not be necessary as the advanced midi routing within the software is taken care of. However, after dropping more than four bills on a program that can't talk to itself in the PC stand alone realm because of a piece of freeware omitted by it's makers because they use Macs...Okay guys, really? Symphonic Choirs is innovative in so many ways, but they tripped at the finish line. Could've easily been five stars. Oh well, can we has an update? close [-]
