ARVA Children Choir

Next Generation Children Choir

Mit ARVA beschreitet Strezov Sampling das finale Kapitel Ihrer Next Generation Choir Serie. Der detailliert gesamplete Kinderchor, bestehend aus Jungen und Mädchen Stimmen, ist nicht nur die perfekte Ergänzung zu WOTAN und FREYJA, sondern auch die einzige Library ihrer Art. Ausgestattet mit der überarbeiteten Syllabuilder Engine 3.0 sowie einen mehrstimmigen echten Legato und dem neuen Agile Legato, glänzt ARVA durch ein hohes Maß an Spielbarkeit und authentisch klingende Chor-Gesänge.

Sowohl die Jungen- als auch Mädchenchöre wurden separat und in Divisi Sections aufgenommen, was bedeutet, dass ARVA nicht nur aus einem, sondern gleich aus zwei Chören besteht.

Detaillierte Beschreibung in englischer Sprache:

Revolutionary Legato

One of the biggest trademarks of Árva is its unique legato scripting, combining polyphonic true legato sampling with our very own Syllabuilding approach. The Syllabuilder Agile Legato not only allows the user to play legato with every syllable availabe in the library, but also features intelligent voice leading enabling polyphonic writing within just one patch. In other words: Hold down a chord in the left, play a melody with your right hand and have it all connected with legato transitions. This powerful feature is controllable by the most common of all midi cc controllers, the sustain pedal.

In addition to the Agile Legato Árva again also features polyphonic true legato patches (Ah, Mm, Ooh, Mm-Ah, Mm-Ooh, Mm-Ooh-Ah ) for every divisi section in the library, which gives you tons of flexibility when it comes to writing legato lines.

Syllabuilder Engine 3

When it comes to virtual choirs there are basically two approaches: Phrasebuilding (StormChoir series) and Wordbuilding (Rhodope series). Árva combines the simplicity and sample recording of phrasebuilding with the advanced editing functions of wordbuilding. This allows you to have amazing sounding results within seconds, but also to build and create new sample content with only few mouse-clicks. Create complete choral patterns inside the GUI or connect different syllables and morph them to add motion to your choir arrangements. Save and Load complete lyric presets to quickly get yourself into the actual composition or enhance your setup with predefined quick words.

All samples have their natural attacks included. However if you want to tighten them up the Syllabuilder Engine allows you to set custom attack, release, volume and offset values for each field independently. Something first introduced by WOTAN Male Choir and before that greatly missed in all phrasebuilding choir libraries.

Version 3 now features compatibility among all of our choirs included in the Next Generation Choir Series meaning you can exchange lyrics and presets, thus saving an incredible amount of time.

“I have been a huge fan of both Wotan and Freyja and now I have ÁRVA to fill out my choral palette.  Not only is the tone of this library gorgeous but I love the playable functionality of their Syllabuilder Engine and Legato scripting. This library certainly raises the bar!!”

"Like all the Strezov choir libraries, this is a terrific library and well worth your consideration."

"Nach Wotan und Freyja waren meine Erwartungen sehr hoch und wurden voll erfüllt. Der Chor inspiriert und lädt zum Spielen ein. Die Legato-Patches sind einfach und gleichzeitig sehr effizient. Die Silben wurden noch mal erweitert und ermöglichen das Bauen komplexer Worte. Die Oberfläche ist sehr intuitiv. Der Klang überzeugt sofort. Und dass Jungs und Mädchen jeweils in Sopran und Alt aufgeteilt wurden, ist bisher einmalig und bietet viele Möglichkeiten."
