Questionably Barbershop Black Friday pricing takes 50% off this four-piece male vocal ensemble for Kontakt, which brings it to $9.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It is a Soundiron library styled after an old timey barbershop quartet, with four singers recorded in separate parts. The idea is easy 4-part harmony in a box, from a deep booming bass to a soaring tenor falsetto.
The four voices are Mike on Tenor Lead, Gregg on Baritone, Spencer on Bass and 'Mikey' on Tenor Falsetto. Between them they cover basic chromatic sustains and staccato articulations.
There are also improvised scat and bebop phrases and two classic Americana folk songs, which come as construction kits.
Each singer performed three sounds: Doo, Lah and Woh. With the custom GUI controls, those three can also act as pure Oo, Ah and Oh vowels, with adjustable durations and attack shaping.
The Ensemble Sustains and Staccatos presets use scripting to voice the four parts automatically. The Lead is heard first, the Bass stays in his proper range and the Tenor handles the piercing high notes.
Select "Unison" mode and all four voices play across the whole key range, which gives you a big male chorus sound. An Auto-pan feature spreads the singers across the stereo field for a wider image.
The scat and bebop section runs with real-time tempo-synching and time-stretching. Phrases are recorded in the root keys of C, E and G#, and you can transpose them to other keys.
The folk songs are broken down line by line. Each vocal part is directly accessible in several different root keys.
A DSP Rack panel sits inside the instrument, so you can shape the quartet without leaving Kontakt:
Everything is fully automatable, with customizable key switches and GUI controls. Real-time visual waveform displays show what each voice is doing.
Samples are 24 bit / 48kHz uncompressed PCM wav. The Kontakt presets and samples are unlocked, so you can customize them.
It runs on Windows 7 or higher and Mac OSX 10.9 or higher. The maker lists a dual core CPU and 2 GB of system RAM, and recommends a SATA or SSD drive.
You need the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or newer for the.nki presets. The free Kontakt Player and the Add Library import process do not support this library.
