Just like buses (two come along at once) -- another SynthV rendering

Dorico

this time, comes my arrangement of “Lux Aeterna” from my Requiem in SynthV. I prefer solo voices again here (most of the rest of the Requiem will be for choir, though I’ve yet to decide how many and which voices but converting that will probably be my next project). In the meantime this section is on Box. Previously my gold standard for this was Cantamus which some of you may have heard but now I feel that’s been superseded.

Thanks for posting David.

This is delightful work; the Synth V sounds are shown off extremely well here.

The technology certainly advances at a pace…

Maybe the ‘addition’ of the sound of an initial breath ‘in’ before the ‘female performer’ starts up (and maybe one, two or three others placed throughout from the ‘participants’).? Would help ‘fool’ the ear a little more into ‘believing’… :wink:

But no, I’m being hyper picky. Really good stuff.!

thanks, @Puma0382 . I’m interested in exactly what you mean by initial breath-in or whether it’s possible to implement - but I’m always open to suggestions.

”br” is the breath effect. double click before the note to create another and the shortcut is “br” - at least it is with soloists.

I guess all I meant was maybe some judicious use of ‘breaths’ (artificial or otherwise). As I see @derAbgang has indicated, Dreamtonics has provided a mechanism within the tool for adding these, if desired.

Ah, I hadn’t spotted that – tried it but didn’t care much for the effect. Perhaps it’s only meant to be used with the soloists.

so – I have now done the entire Requiem with SynthV and replaced the original on Reelcrafter. There is a variety of solo and choir textures – in terms of the sheer amount of text, it’s probably the most involved I’ll have to do among my vocal works (and the piece itself is not far short of 40 minutes). Please feel free to dip into the rest of the work which you can find through the link below

just in case it’s of interest, I have now converted all my sacred choral works to SynthV so those who might have sampled something so far are welcome to dip into further works. Four are in Latin but Song of Songs is in English.
