The Middle Ages Meet the Modern Age
Best Service Cantus is an innovative sample-based virtual instrument that gives composers and sound designers access to the evocative sound of a true Gregorian choir. Sampled from over 20 Gregorian chants split into 400 phrases, Cantus is excellent for creating ultra-realistic liturgical melodies. A powerful phrase-arranger tool with 24 words and three articulations lets you customize the chants. Plus, you can interweave five legato styles (a, e, i, o, u) with the words along with a special “mmmh” articulation to nail the brooding sound of a Middle Ages choir. Composers at Sweetwater have found Cantus to be the perfect tool for adding Gregorian-esque ambience to film and video games scores or as an element in dark electronic and rock compositions. On top of that, cantus includes 19 bespoke soundscapes created from the 6,000-sample collection for instant inspiration! Transport yourself to the Middle Ages from the comfort of your DAW with the Cantus Gregorian choir virtual instrument from Best Service!
