Bulgarian Vox Trilogy ? O R P H E U S
The ORPHEUS vocal sample library project was started in 2004. Its mission is to outline the legend of the mystery of the Bulgarian voices. To make that happen, the producer Ivan Kovachev invited several generations of the best Bulgarian professional choirs, vocal groups and soloists to present the traditional vocal treasure of the country.

The instrument es included in this collection bring authentic Balkan ambience into any style of music compositions, film scoring and mixing. All vocal samples included in the trilogy are ?dry?, bringing only the original acoustic ambience of the recording studio hall.

The ORPHEUS sample library was made in Bulgaria including the recording, audio design, instrument programming and UI design. Sincere thanks to all professionals (the choirs, vocal groups, solo singers, vocal experts, conductors and organizers) who took part in that project.

LIBRARY FEATURES
- 27 Instrument es (totally different phrases) organized into four suites using short abbreviation info after the name:

+ Name (SYNC)
Tempo synced choir phrases (available in 12-13 pitches mostly). This suite type is auto-synced to the Kontakt or to the sequencer host tempo.

+ Name (CHORD SYNC)
Tempo synced unison choir phrases. You can ?play musically? and compose chords, custom polyphony and polyrhythmic motifs with these suites (up to 25 key pitches are available).
This suite type is auto-synced to the Kontakt or to the sequencer host tempo.

+ Name (RUB)
Free tempo ?Rubato? choir phrases. The rubato phrases are available in ?One shot? mode and ?Loop? mode. There are several loop types for the different es such as ?Unison region?, ?Phrase pattern? etc. For example, in ?Unison region? mode you can play sustain chords, custom polyphony etc, i.e. you switch from phrase mode to a chorus layering articulation.

+ Name (SOLO VOX)
This suite offers five extra solo vocals which present various style of singing related to the different folklore regions of Bulgaria.

- Interactive phrase & sound creation. You can compose new vocal phrases from existing ones or create amazing sound es ?on the fly? thanks to the new Workstation Instrument developed by Audiogrocery (read the Instrument Features below).

- 4Gb samples (3.2Gb compressed NCW)

- 48kHz24bit - stereo

INSTRUMENT FEATURES
- Workstation user interface design. The optimized Workstation design offers you a direct ?one page? overview of all parameters, editors and settings so you can control them easily which is an essential feature for your music creativity.

- Dynamic UI knob/fader labels. The knob/fader labels switch to ?value? monitoring during the knob/fader tweaking. If the knob/fader tweaking is stopped for a while, the ?value? monitoring is switched back to label mode showing the parameter type, such as dB, Hz, Cut, Res etc.

- Ultimate Sample Start Editor (SSE). You can create a custom sample start (SS) marker for each sample key (incl. the blue note keys or the red key switches) directly by dragging the play cursor to a given place in the UI wave form editor. The SS marker is stored on the fly for each key. After the quick SS key mapping you can trigger the samples so that each sample starts from its SS mapped position. This advanced technology gives you the possibility to compose new phrases from existing ones!

- Three SSE Modes (achieved by a ?Mode? switcher).

+ KS Mode (Key Switch Mode)
In this mode the red keys behave as SS key switchers.
Example: To set a custom SS for a given red key switch you just trigger shortly that key number and move the play cursor to the desired place (the SS is stored automatically for that key). You can apply the same procedure for the other red key switches. In this mode all (blue key) samples will start from the same sample start position switched via the red KS!

+ KP Mode (Key Play Mode)
The red key switches are disabled in this mode.
In KP Mode the blue sample keys behave as sample triggers (as usual) and sample triggering key switches at the same time. This is the default mode and is recommended for use with the CHORD SYNC suites.
Note: If you have made any SS mapping using another mode (see KS mode above), all markers are temporarily stored and can be used in the other modes too!
The SS markers are stored when you save the Instrument as user or if you store your current work as performance preset in the UI ?Presets? menu!

+ TRP Mode (Transpose Mode)
The red key switches are enabled in this mode but their behavior is different compared to the KS Mode (see above). In TRP Mode you use the red key switches to midi change/transpose the original pitch key C, C#, D etc, while the blue note keys behave as sample start jumping markers and sample triggering ones simultaneously. In this mode all blue keys are transposed to the ?Key Note? set by a given red key switch. The TRP mode is recommended for the SYNC & RUB suite types. You can copy/paste a SS marker from one key to other keys or reset all SS markers using the corr
