Vox Arcanum is an aleatoric choral FX and textures library, featuring a selection of dark and omnious effects sang by a 32 person choir.

Recording in a 300 square meter scoring stage, the library has a huge sound perfect for a range of film, game and TV composers.

Dark Aleatoric Choral FX and Textures
Vox Arcanum is an aleatoric choral FX sample library for Kontakt, featuring 1.8GB of choral effects by a 32 person choir (8 Sopranos, 8 Altos, 8 Tenors, 8 Basses).

The material was recorded in Georgian Film Studio, a 300 square meter scoring stage, through an SSL console, Prism Sound Converters and Neumann U87, KM184, AKG 414 mics and contains:

“Aah” Crescendos – low, mid and high cluster crescendos, glissando crescendos and standard crescendos
“Sshh” Textures
Staccato Rips– down and up
Bends– Octaves down and octaves up
Chaos Textures – non tonal aleatoric choral textures
Claps & snaps– 32 person claps and snaps

The library is perfect for film/TV/game underscore (eg. horror, dark, gloomy) and the bonus claps and snaps are absolutely massive sounding, making it perfect also for rock and pop!

WAV & Kontakt Format with 5 Microphone Positions
The library 5 microphone positions to choose from – load all or just some of them to create a dryer / wetter sound as desired. The microphone positions on offer are:

• Room
• Mid
• Close (3 rows of four microphones, one for each level of risers)

Along with a range of microphone positions, we’ve also included a selection of 21 beautiful IR reverbs to choose from (turn it on/off) with the option to choose the pre-delay, size and amount, so you can dial in the exact sound you’re looking for.

The library has a large waveform in the center of the GUI so you can see the overall shape of the samples before playing. Additionally, you can flip a switch to play any sample in reverse or at half speed, double speed (and anything in between) with no pitch changing. This allows you to create some really weird and unusual textures by adding a huge reverb and playing a sound backwards.

Vox Arcanum comes with standalone .WAV files if you’d rather just drop them into your project.
