Now at version 6, the Play plug-in is the EastWest engine that makes all of the companyвЂ™s sample libraries come to life, with various options immediately available, once the library is loaded.

Sure enough, some years later, the technology has come of age, in no small part due to enhancements in EastWestвЂ™s own software plug-in. EastWest first brought this technology to us some years ago, with the impressive Symphonic Choirs, however back then the operational side of getting this to work was a little clunky, with further streamlining and development assured. The ability to type words and phrases into software and have your computer sing them back to you is nothing new, but never ceases to deliver wonderment.

The RR patch has rolls of the tongue which provide a very aggressive colour, while a couple of patches provide for the vocal equivalent of fret noise on a guitar breathing, exhales, and more besides, complete the far-from-basic patch set. The more obvious flavours here, such as Mm, are coupled with longer sustains which are initiated by a consonant, so in the case of the patch labelled D, the offering is more of a вЂDerвЂ™ than a D that stops dead. At first sight, youвЂ™d be forgiven for thinking that most of these might not be terribly useful, but diving in, I discovered another palette which is ripe for exploration. ItвЂ™s fair to say that the minor shortcomings in the absolute extremities of register become more apparent in isolation, but place them in context with the rest of the choir, or even with orchestral covering fire, and any issues evaporate quickly.ДЄlongside the ubiquitous vowel sounds, there is a sizeable section containing consonants.

It wonвЂ™t come as a surprise that the entire concept is mirrored in the menвЂ™s choir, with the same fine balance of warmth and detail across the main range of Tenors and Basses. Notes do extend beyond this, but begin to diminish in level, even becoming flaky in certain instances, which is absolutely to be expected, and all the better for some humanistic shortcoming. The female voices have a range which is getting on for three octaves, with predictable certainty up to a Top Bb, which is right at the top of the Soprano register. Immediate from the outset, itвЂ™s possible to diminish the dynamic to a less-exaggerated vibrato, increasing in vibrancy with an insistent crescendo, as the mod-wheel value rises. Nowhere does this dynamic control become more apparent than with the Epic Ah patch. Dynamics are controlled via the modulation wheel, which can also be assigned to MIDI CC-programmable faders, if thatвЂ™s your preferred method of working. ItвЂ™s the Vowel area where you will head if you just want to add some choral colour to your arrangerвЂ™s palette and youвЂ™ll not be disappointed with the immediacy of the results. Legato performances are reserved for the Ah and Oh patches, but with two legato speeds available.

Beginning with the basics, itвЂ™s possible to select the usual choral stalwarts of Oo, Oh, Ah and Ee, while there are subtle variations within each category, such as Staccato. In both cases, the timbre is immediate, centered and offers a really nice balance between brightness and warmth, while there are plenty of choices of performance. The choir is split right down the middle, with sizeable performances from both female and male counterparts. This means a slick and succinct library thatвЂ™s designed to cover most choral bases. Oooh, Aaah!Д®astWest have form in the choral tradition their highly respected Symphonic Choirs and Voices of Passion libraries set the choral bar pretty high some years ago, but in keeping with the rest of their product line, the choir now gets a Hollywood makeover.
