To restart a phrase you still have to reset it by pressing the reset button in the Tools area on the GUI or assign it to a MIDI cc or press F5. Sometimes results are easily improvable by just lengthening or shortening syllables in the Time Editor. Although less intuitive than the English or Latin, you do indeed get the best results with Votox with some work once you understand it, especially diphthongs. Using The WordbuilderĮW says, “Wordbuilder allows the composer to type in any word or phrase and have it sung by the choir.” That is perhaps making it sound a little bit more simple than it actually is in my opinion, but it definitely seems easier in Hollywood Choirs than the earlier Symphonic Choirs and they have added some phonetics that make it sound better. There is not a way to separately control the vibrato, which is something I may miss. The mod wheel also adds vibrato as the dynamics increase. You can attenuate volume with cc11 and cc7 as well. Dynamic layers modulated via a modwheel crossfade and switching between them is controlled by cc1. The instruments feel very playable to me, and apparently the legato patches are polyphonic legato, as I can play single lines and in and out into chords. In Play 6, the Main window looks pretty much the same at first glance, as does the Mixer, but the Browser is another story and to my mind, greatly improved. Diamond is 59 GB and 24 bit while Gold is 8 GB and 16 bit. Surround is available as an add on for the Composer Cloud Gold X edition as well. There is a Gold edition with the main mics and a Diamond edition, that has five microphone mixes: main, close, stage, mid, and surround. (Strangely enough, no oos which is the vowel I use most.) Unlike the Symphonic Choirs, it also includes some “true legato” (recorded legato intervals) with various vowels, like ahs ands ohs. It comes with vowels, consonants and a Wordbuilder that has pre-made phrases in Latin, English, and “Votox” that you can use, modify, or create your own. (While they gave me some good reasons for that decision, it means that for those who write true SATB music, this may not be their choice.) Unlike the Symphonic Choirs, there is no real way to totally separate sopranos from altos and tenors from basses. It has two sets of instruments, Women and Men. In fact it requires a new Play 6 version that is free with the purchase and for Composer Cloud subscribers.
Hollywood Choirs is a sample library available in all the popular formats that uses EW’s proprietary engine, Play.
