Vocals: This collection features vocal recordings that cater to a broad range of styles, allowing you to move from subtle expressions of the human voice with chanting and whispers to dramatic sequenced arpeggios featuring snippets of vocals.
Textures: Atmospheric orchestral colors. Great for big-screen soundtracks, game scores, sound installations, or live theater productions.
Basslines: Bass and sub-bass varying from very soft sounds to growling sequenced tones.
Echoes: A mixture of sounds and styles that make good use of the built-in effects. Startling movements, great for introducing unexpected cinematic moments in a composition.
