Overview
This software can be used to create natural and synthetic choirs, vocal textures and sustained vowels. It may work as a plugin within digital audio workstation software such as FL Studio or Cubase. Magnus Choir also is compatible with FreeVST allowing Linux users to use native Microsoft Windows VST plugins by using parts of the Wine compatibility layer.
Synthesis and Sampling
Sound is generated via a hybrid method that combines synthesis and sampling. It features 48 built-in presets (sounds) including a variety of choirs such as male and female mixed in classic SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) structure: women sing Soprano and Alto, while men sing Tenor and Bass. Additionally includes choir pads and spatial voices, among others.
Magnus Choir also features an ADSR envelope generator, state variable filter and reverb effect emulation.
MIDI Automation
Features complete MIDI Continuous Controller to automate parameter changes from a sequencer, or to control the Magnus Choir software from an external MIDI control surface.
