Atelier Series - Maggie

Atelier Series Maggie is a rich, soulful legato vocal release for emotional, cinematic, and modern songwriting contexts.

Included are three vowel patches (ahh, ooo, mmm) with natural, progressive vibrato. We spent a lot of time finessing the legato transitions using a variety of post-production and programming techniques to allow Maggie’s performances to sail through smoothly.

In addition to the Emotional Legato patches, we’ve included Evermore; an evolving sustains keyswitch patch. We sourced the material from the vocal recordings and ran them through a bespoke array of hardware pedals for atmospheric, tonal sound design. Included are six presets: Promise, Afterglow, Hallowed, Abyss, Prayer, and Stardust.

What is the Atelier Series?

Oftentimes during the research and experimental phase of development, we’ll create instruments that don’t necessarily belong to a bigger, themed release. Instead of attempting to shoehorn them into a future release or trying to construct a comprehensive product around it, we decided to create the Atelier Series so that other composers can enjoy our explorations in sample development as well.
