Welcome to our upcoming Forgotten Voices: "Cait"

Singer Cait McWhir, originally hailing from Ireland, draws her inspiration from
almost 20 years of exploration with indian, balkan, middle-eastern & celtic
vocal styles. She has an incredible versatility allowing her to freely cross
between conventional folklore to ancient Sanskrit chants, Vedic mantras to free
improvisation in self made languages.

The library is constructed from over a thousand different vocal phrases covering
over 15 hours of recording material. The phrases are divided into a variety of
categories varying from some of the oldest songs known to man from the ancient
Sanskrit chants to free improvisational phrases. The library has specific patches
such as Balkan, Lullaby, Sanskrit Chants, Witch Chants and so forth. In addition
some phrases in the library were recorded 2-3 times, which allows for a more
broad type of vocal sound by layering the same phrase two or three times. We
specifically used those in demo 3 and 4 (see below).

The library follows programming and editing techniques introduced in our
Forgotten Voices: Francesca library.The programming allows user to sculpt and
morph phrases by adjusting the mod-wheel and pitch bender. The mod-wheel
controls the sample starting point, so users can trigger off-set anywhere they
want in the phrases. The pitch bender allows you to time-stretch/compress the
phrase. The combination between sample off-set control and time-stretch/compression
allows users to seamlessly morph different phrases together, which brings endless
possibilities for creating new phrases.

In addition Cait contains a bonus set of over 40 unique vocal ambiences
(note: Kontakt 3 only) made by Steven Tavaglione (Instrumentalist and Sound Designer
Wall-E, American Beauty, CSI, Supernatural and 100s other movies/shows/games). All
the ambiences are made from Cait source material, so they seamlessly blend with her
voice and are amazing for instant scoring.
