LiMiNAL: VOCAL TEXTURES 2

OHSiE | 22 October 2024 | 3.63 GB

Introducing LIMINAL: VOCAL TEXTURES VOLUME 2, our second library of human vocalist samples – playable using the full version of Kontakt 6.7.1+. The library’s articulations are expressive and evolving, with the performer imparting character and movement into each sample. The performers were mic’d closely using large diaphragm condenser microphones, capturing breath and characteristic intimacy into each sample. The library is well-suited to add unpredictability and creative imperfection. The LIMINAL range is not intended for fast passages or soaring melodies. Instead, you may see the libraries as collections of naturalistic pads – offering humanistic details not found in something derived from a synthetic source. Several articulations have a strong focus on rhythm and synchronicity, taking advantage of Kontakt’s Time Machine Pro feature.
