There’s only one knob, and you’ll probably never even touch it. We believe this is the simplest and most intuitive polyphonic legato there is. Then we spent months editing and balancing to get the legato as smooth as we could make it. And “oowah.” And “ooweh.” And “eeyoh.” And on and on. (Try it yourself and you’ll hear what I mean.) So we have “oowee” legato samples. When you sing from oo, to ee, there will be a “w” in the transition. We sampled legato intervals for all six vowels, as well as for “mm.” (We find humming to be a particularly useful articulation.) Not just the six/seven vowels, but also the special transitions betweem say, oo to ee. No other vocal library that we know of has gone this deep in the quest for realistic vocal performances. This is why Realivox Blue is 12,000 samples. A closing “s” that specifically goes with an “ee” vowel. First is the “p” sample that specifically with “e.” Then you won’t hear just any “ee,” but you’ll actually get the “ee” that comes after “p.” (Your ear would know if we tried to cheat and use a regular “ee” instead.) Then you’ll hear a few milliseconds of a closing “ee” that would lead into “s.” And then finally, the “s”. So when you play “Peace,” you’ll be triggering four samples altogether. So we sampled not only 192 ending “t” consonants (6 vowels times 32 samples per vowel), but we also recorded the closing vowel sounds leading into each consonant.
A singer’s mouth closes differently, depending on which consonant they’re going to. When we recorded the ending consonants (completely separate samples), we noticed that it doesn’t sound quite right if you just slap an end consonant sample onto the end of a vowel sample. For each consonant, that’s six sets for each vowel. There are two and a half octaves of “k” samples (32 samples) that go into “ah.” Another 32 of “k” into “eh.” And so on.
Listen to how your own “s” will sound different, depending on the vowel.) So each consonant was recorded separately going in and out of each vowel. Consider these elements:Īn “s” singing into an “ee” sounds different from an “s” singing into an “oo.” (Try it yourself. Six vowels and 23 consonants give you the tools to create your own words and phrases.** But we went deeper than just sampling a bunch of vowels and consonants. Check out the audio demos and see if you don’t agree. Blue is my go-to singer when I want that ultra-pretty tone. REALIVOX – BLUE: It starts with the voice.
