Choir Essentials combines a handpicked selection of the most used techniques found in our critically acclaimed Next Generation Choir Series. Covering 95% of what you will ever need in choral scoring for all media types without any compromises in dynamic range (from soft and delicate to aggressive) thanks to the availability of individual and full sections including a children choir. This collection is the perfect entry point for new composers and producers starting out as well as veterans, who want to extend their scoring palette or need an easy to use choral scoring tool. Featuring three mic positions and our favorite choral samples recorded in an ambient concert hall. A "ready to go" tool for all situations.
Something our entire choral range excels at is accessibility and getting realistic sounding choir lines within seconds. With our unique performance patches we managed to push this feature to another level. Performance Patches allow you to mockup your choir lines on the fly due to custom edits of the recordings to make them extremely playable, while maintaining their organic and raw tone.
Choose between different mappings of the different choral sections to increase the playability even further and fit the outcome to the needs of your track. We built this patch, so it allows you to choose between playing the choir pre-arranged in octaves, divided into separate sections or with the natural overlapping ranges in mind.
Our Velocity Dynamic Influencer allows you to determine the loudness of single chord notes by velocity, which makes highlighting certain notes within a chord easier than ever, while Modwheel CC1 still controls crossfading between the natural dynamic layers. The combination of both greatly enhances the expression you can get out of a regular keyboard performance.
If you ever looked for a "go-to" playable choir patch. This is it!

Like our other libraries, Choir Essentials also has true legato patches that can be played polyphonically without issues and without complicated extra requirements - you just play the music you have in your head and you don't need to worry about anything else. Our intelligent voice leading enables polyphonic writing within just one patch. In other words: Hold down a chord with your left hand, play a melody with your right hand and have it all connected with legato transitions. This powerful feature is controllable by the most common of all midi cc controllers, the sustain pedal.

Percussion Essentials X3M brings together the highlights of our X3M Percussion Series, which was created during the last 10 years. This collection is the perfect entry point for new composers and producers starting out as well as veterans, who want to extend their scoring palette or need an easy to use percussion scoring tool. Featuring three mic positions recorded in an ambient concert hall. A "ready to go" tool for all situations.

George and his team have created a series of beautiful and musical instruments that will inspire your creativity. Their polyphonic legato is in a league of its own.
Once you open up Balkan Ethnic Orchestra, you'll bring it into your palette permanently. There's plenty of characterful sounds, sometimes guttural with human imperfections, and other times precise and well recorded. Love this.
These are the best choir Libraries I have found, for imagination and sound quality. Beautifully made and very Inspiring!
Storm Choir has a mighty sound that adds a real extra layer of intensity to proceedings. Not only that but it is extremely easy to use right out of the box. Job done!
Strezov's AFFLATUS BRASS is my new front-line weapon for orchestral brass. The Velocity Dynamics Influencer feature is immediately useful in my workflow, and the ability to switch instantly between sustain, mono-legato, and poly-legato is another massively useful feature. And the sound is all I could hope for, from delicate to brutal, from intimate to massive, from up close to miles away. Supreme realism, instant playability, and world-class tone. A massive thumbs up!
Strezov Sampling have been part of our sonic arsenal for many years. Their samples are unique and unquestionably human, all delivered in very accessible and slick instruments. Always inspiring.
I love Wotan Male Choir! It's an aggressive instrument that really captures the sound of an epic male choir. Wotan also comes with a useful phrase builder and I'm especially impressed with the choir shouts and whispering recordings, which can also be controlled by the phrase builder! Amazing Stuff!
Being a lifelong fan of the Eastern European music tradition, I am so grateful to George for making parts of that rich vocabulary available as sampling libraries and instrument designs. They are made with the 'working composer' in mind, and have a unique, direct sound character.
Strezov Sampling has become my first choice for choir and percussion libraries which often play a big part in what I write. Great quality and most importantly, highly playable. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
Strezov Sampling choirs are the most realistic and emotive choir libraries around. Other professional choir libraries sometimes try to sound so epic that they end up sounding midi and processed while with Strezov I feel I can hear each vocalist in the mix somehow.
