Musical Sampling has announced the release of a new Atelier Series instrument library for Kontakt, featuring the vocals of singer and music educator from Dothan, AL, Amy Griffin.
Atelier Series Amy is a legato vocal library intended for emotional and cinematic contexts. It includes Ahh and Mmm legato patches, and Everlasting, a collection of beautiful, vowel-evolving sustains processed with a variety of hardware pedals.
For this we wanted a tone that was somewhere between classical and pop. As luck would have it, our co-producer knew someone who not only fit the brief but also had the kind of vocal stamina this project required. Enter Amy Griffin; a talented vocalist and music educator.
We’ve included two extensively-recorded legato patches performed “long-style”. This means there are no programmed crossfades into a target sustain after playback of the legato interval. This involves far more recording time (12 hours in this case) than traditional legato sampling but ensures a seamless performance that also retains Amy’s natural progression in vibrato; musically-unique for every interval across the range.
