video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2025, we caught up with Mike from Realitone*, who provided insights into their ongoing project, the *Sunset Choir library. Mike explained that this vocal library had been in development for a while, mainly due to the complex nature of recording different vocal articulations compared to string libraries. Unlike the simpler approach for strings, recording vowels like ah and ooh required more extensive sampling. Realitone dedicated nine days of intense studio work to capture this comprehensive array of sounds.

Mike demonstrated the dual-layer feature, allowing dynamic articulation blending, and showcased unique elements like enigmatic Latin phrases and slow bends. Additionally, the library supports consonant variations, legato transitions, and jazzy scat articulations. Though a work-in-progress, Mike expressed optimism about completing the library by spring, offering a glimpse into the intricacies of building such an elaborate musical tool."
