The Emma Legato Upgrade from Aria Vocalscapes Black Friday deal is priced at $20, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026, and it is the upgrade path for people who already own Aria Vocalscapes.
Emma Legato is a Kontakt library of playable cinematic vocals from Sonora Cinematic. It has three articulations and a legato speed control that follows how you play or how you draw notes in the piano roll.
The maker calls it the first in a new series of no-frills, affordable, easy-to-use sample libraries for composers and producers.
The singer is Emma May Price, the classically trained soprano from Aria Vocalscapes. The maker says the library was built in response to customer demand for a true legato vocal.
True legato is a sampling technique. Instead of recording only the single notes across the singer's range, it also captures the transition between each note and every other note, which is why the maker calls it a huge amount of samples.
The result is meant for expressive, realistic melodic lines and rich vocal textures in cinematic or ambient writing.
Three vocal articulations sit on the main page:
The SPEED control sets how fast the library moves from one note to the next. Faster playing wants a quicker transition. A slow, emotional line wants a slower one with a touch of natural portamento.
Click AUTO and the library sets transition speed from the distance between notes: the bigger the interval, the slower the move. A keyswitch turns AUTO on and off, so you can take over by hand during a specific passage.
The EXPRESSION slider is a simple volume control that sits before the effects. It gives you extra shaping of the performance.
A ready-to-go cinematic reverb is built in, aimed at epic-sounding vocals. When you want a more atmospheric or film-style sound, pick between the BLUE signal, which gives a glittering, heavily smoothed-out space with a very long decay, and the PINK signal, a reverb that drifts slowly and adds a grainy texture. Preset snapshots help you land on something usable fast, and you can adjust it afterwards.
Emma Legato is a Powered-By-Kontakt Player Edition. It runs in the free Kontakt Player, version 8 or higher, as VST, AU or AAX.
Owners of Aria Vocalscapes can move up to Emma Legato with this upgrade. A standard purchase path also exists for everyone else.
Yes. The Emma Legato Upgrade from Aria Vocalscapes is at $20, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026. It is the upgrade path for existing Aria Vocalscapes owners, while a separate standard purchase path is also available.
SPEED sets how quickly the library glides between notes, from fast transitions to slow ones with natural portamento. Click AUTO and it adjusts by itself: the longer the distance between notes, the slower the transition.
You get three articulations: Humming, Poco Vibrato and Aahs. There is a built-in cinematic reverb with BLUE and PINK ambient signals, curated snapshots, and an EXPRESSION slider for volume shaping before the effects.
It is a Powered-By-Kontakt Player Edition, so it needs the free Kontakt Player 8 or higher. The Player is supported in VST, AU and AAX, so you load Emma Legato inside that.
