Magnus
Choir is a virtual instrument
plug-in which can be used to create natural and synthetic choirs, using a
combination of synthesis and sampling.
The male and female choruses
combine to form a mixed chorus, featuring the classic
SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) structure: women sing Soprano and
Alto, while men sing Tenor and Bass.
Covering the spectrum of choirs,
vocal textures and choral pads,they are combined with an
advanced sampling engine and synthesizing techniques which make it a versatile instrument,
full of expression capabilities. DSP engine delivers a new level of
realism in digital sound creation...
Magnus
Choir includes a variety
of vocal textures and sustained vowels
in multiple dynamics: Espressivo,
Staccato, Marcato, Crescendo, Decrescendo, Tenuto, Maestoso, Legato,
and more...

and women in mixed
choirs to the celestial choir of angels, creepy voices, wailing, pads,
atmos and octave choir. Also useful for Monks singingand Gregorian chant.
ADSR
envelope generator with Attack, Sustain, Decay and Release parameters
and several modulation targets, that gives musicians almost limitless
possibilities in varying and creating unique new sounds with different
vocal characteristics.
Reverb Effect Built-in: Free variation of acoustic
ambience thanks to complete
separation of choir and room. Small rooms can be modeled just as
accurately as larger spaces. Customizable with user controls for: size
room, width room, damping factor & mix, used to create
psycho-acoustic models in the DSP environment, without having
to load up any other plug-ins.
Clear
user interface helps work intuitively, inviting the user to experiment
creatively.
VU
Meter - Volume Unit Meter: A device that indicates the relative levels
of the audio being played. It is calibrated to show a maximum recording
level to avoid saturation and distortion.
Affordable
price and user-friendly attitude are sure to attract many
musicians.
FULL

parameter changes from a sequencer, or to control your synthesizers
from an external MIDI control surface.
