17.9GB of Full Symphonic Mens Choir & Soloists for Kontakt!
"Mars Symphonic Men's Choir" was designed as the first offering in Soundiron's now widely acclaimed Olympus choral series. To build this titan, Soundiron took everything they had learned from engineering, developing and programming previous choir projects over the years at Tonehammer (Requiem, Liberis) and applied them here.
Mars covers a wide range of Latin, Russian (Slavonic) and Pure Vowel content, with a full set of chromatic articulations including sustains, marcatos, staccatos, true legato, clusters, falls, swells, effects and a trio of stellar male soloists!
The Recording Process – Creating A Choral Masterpiece!
"Mars Symphonic Men's Choir" was recorded over 10 days at Montclair Presbyterian, high in the Oakland Hills, with a 30-voice hand-picked group of SF Symphony Chorus, SF Opera, SF Choral Society and Volti singers.
Mars features a full 30-voice male chorus as well as 3 soloists singing in both Slavonic (Russian liturgical) and Latin.
A wide variety of content is included for both languages, as well as a large collection of choral effects (shouts, sweeps, clusters, etc.).
It includes two masterfully mixed composite microphone distance positions (stage and hall), carefully blended from an array of 10 discreet large diaphragm Neumann Microphones, with wide pairs ranging from 1 meter to 25 meters in distance.
The two-composite position configuration allows the best balance between placement, flexibility and performance, while providing a truly massive, robust and full-bodied sound!
In addition to the true legato chorus sustains, ALL sustaining articulations in the library include 3-part polyphonic pseudo-legato (all vowel sustains, fast & slow polysustains, soloist vowel sustains, soloist slow & melodic poly-sustains).
Mars also features a unique bonus collection of Ambiences, Drones, Textures and FX content!

These menus allow you to select from a wide variety of custom convolution reverb impulses ranging from classic halls and cathedrals, to bizarre otherworldly spaces, to self-resonating sonic shapes and complex musical tones.
