With over 2500 improvised melodic phrases at tempos of 80, 100, 120, and 140 bpm, this library offers automatic real-time tempo-synching or time-stretching modes for seamless integration into any project.

The library's performance-enhancing tools such as the advanced 32-step phrase sequencer, offer total customization with start offset and duration controls for each step, multiple playback modes, and graphic waveform display. Additional vocal effects like whispers, laughing, and breathing further enrich the library's expressive capabilities.

"I have been obsessed with SoundIron's Voices of Gaia and Rapture vocal libraries for a while now. I've used the extensively for mock-ups and even recordings. All of their libraries are designed with authenticity, well-developed interfaces and fun features like arpeggiation with the composer in mind." - Serj Tankian (System Of A Down, Soil, Axis Of Justice)
