Olympus Mike-Ro Solo Tenor

€7.50

Olympus Mike-Ro Solo is a super ultra-premium virtuoso tenor solo vocal library for Kontakt. After over two years in the making, they’ve finally unveiled this true masterpiece! This righteous tower of awesome brings cutting edge vocal technology and pristine vocal acrobatics together into a glorious package of amazing musical perfection…

But seriously, Olympus Mike-ro Solo Tenor is just a fun yet totally functional Kontakt micropack that shows a little of what goes on behind the scenes here at Soundiron, as they research new vocal production and sampling methods. When you’re dragging a full choir into a hall to record, it’s generally a good idea to have an idea of what you want them to do before you roll tape. Soundiron’s official in-house trained monkey (Mike Peaslee) likes to fancy himself a singer, usually somewhere in the tenor range. Since he was sadly born without a sense of shame or decorum, he’s literally willing to do anything on command if somebody’s recording it. So they tend to use him as a human guinea pig quite a bit.

CONTENTS

What you’ll find here is a collection of 5 poly-sustain chants, with Latin and Slavonic content, along with common vowel sustains (Ah, Eh, Oh, Oo) that they recorded during the production of their Olympus Symphonic Choir. These tests helped to inform their approach to editing, recording and programming for solo voice in a hall environment and what they ended up with is a nice little — and quite useful — vocal library.

Despite it’s humble size and scope, this little treat has all the advanced features of their more serious Olympus Micro Choir. They provide real-time control over dynamic intensity, tempo, playback start position, room decay time and volume, legato transitions, and more. With their full automation support, you can create entirely new phonetic combinations and syllable sequences from the raw material provided here. Full automation support means you can get as creative and complex with your arrangements as you like. The legato system is designed to be fluid for the sustains and automatically phrase-synchronous for the polysustains, so you can play melodies as Mike shamelessly progresses naturally through rhythmic Latin/Slavonic phrasing.
