Voice of the Sun - Sunrise

Authentic Japanese Vocal Phrases, Fully Expressive

Voice Of The Sun - Sunrise brings you the evocative beauty of traditional Japanese female lyrical phrases, emotionally-charged melodies, and naturally fluid true legato. Performed live by acclaimed Japanese vocalist N-Iori and recorded by Yusuke Asada in Japan, this library features over a thousand lyrical phrases organized by key, tempo, and mood, with real-time English and Japanese subtitle display. Many phrases are adapted from the Hyakunin Isshu, an ancient collection of Japanese poetry dating back to the Kamakura era.

Sunrise offers true legato, chromatic sustains, staccatos, and dynamic expressions, allowing you to craft realistic leads and harmonies across multiple vowel sounds. Four core vowels - Ah forte, Ah piano, Oo mezzo forte, and gentle humming - combine with chromatic crescendos, decrescendos, and swells to provide full expressive control. A wide selection of long and short articulations, soft and loud staccatos, and subtle dynamic nuances ensures unparalleled flexibility for songwriting and production.

The intuitive and fully customizable interface includes real-time articulation switching, advanced mapping, a powerful sequencer, auto-strummer, and a complete FX rack, giving you total creative freedom. Voice Of The Sun – Sunrise opens new horizons in solo vocal libraries, offering a rare combination of authenticity, emotion, and technical versatility.
