For Steinberg’s HALion Family Of Products. This Tier In .

We're proud to welcome you to our Olympus Choir Elements for Steinberg’s HALion family of products. This tier inour line of Olympus Choir products offers everything a composer might need from a symphonic choir library at an affordable price. It also functions as an even larger glimpse at what our Olympus Symphonic Choral Collection offers. Ourgoal with Olympus Elements was to create an intermediate level library, one that has all the “meat and potatoes” our Olympus line offers: all the vowels we offer as well as a selection of True Legato sustains.Olympus Choir Elemnts now includes eight standard vowel sustains, staccatos, and marcatos - “Ah,” “Ee,” “Eh,” “Ei,” “Ih,”“Mm,” “Oh,” and “Oo” - including both soft “piano” and strong fortissimo dynamics where applicable, sung by the full ensemble over the full SATB range.1

This new version for HALion has been engineered from the ground up to make full use of the platform. We’ve improvedthe sustains and staccatos, re-balanced volume levels, added some brand new custom FX presets, and overhauled the userinterface.Whether you've been curious about our full Olympus Symphonic Choir and are just looking for an affordable choir librarythat covers all of the basics, Olympus Choir Elements is the perfect choice for you.More About the full version of Olympus.We captured our Olympus Symphonic Choir by assembling 63 hand-picked singers from the SF Choral Society, Volti andthe SF Symphony Chorus, under the direction of maestro Robert Geary. We recorded in a large, acoustically optimal Aframe chapel hidden in the wooded canyons of historic Montclair, in the San Francisco Bay Area. We used the same locationfor our Mercury Symphonic Boys’ Choir, Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble and a number of other classic Soundiron instruments and orchestral libraries. We meticulously recorded over 90 solid hours of male (“Mars”) and female (“Venus”) divisiensembles and solo SATB articulations, combining traditional deep sampling methods with our own specialized techniquesand intuition to deliver the most capable and comprehensive symphonic choral library available anywhere in the world.Olympus Choir Micro focuses on the main close microphone position, with men and women recorded in separate sections.If you're curious about learning more about the full version of our Olympus Symphonic Collection, visit us atwww.soundiron.com/olympus2
