Symphonic Choirs Platinum Plus / VOTA Black Friday Deal 2026: $59, 60% off

Symphonic Choirs Black Friday pricing is 60% off Symphonic Choirs Platinum Plus / VOTA from EastWest Sounds, which comes to $59 until Jan 17, 2027. It is a virtual instrument choir that sings words you type, in any language, on the notes you play.

What is Symphonic Choirs Platinum Plus / VOTA?

The maker describes it as an award-winning virtual instrument. You type text into your computer and the choir sings it in whatever key or keys you play on your keyboard controller.

The Platinum edition is, per the maker, the first 24-bit choir virtual instrument with three simultaneous stereo mic setups: close, stage and hall.

EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and these choirs share a recording venue and a production crew, so the two libraries blend naturally. The maker says they blend with EWQLSO.

How do the three mic positions work?

Each instrument and section was recorded from the close position, the stage position (the conductor's seat) and the hall. You can mix any combination of the three.

The maker says this gives you natural ambience without artificial reverb. Mic position mixing sits on screen in the interface.

The Symphonic Choirs Expansion content, Voices of the Apocalypse, was recorded separately at 24-bit with a single mic position.

How does Wordbuilder work?

Wordbuilder is the word-building software that lets Symphonic Choirs and Symphonic Choirs Expansion users type in the words for the choir to sing. It now lives inside EastWest's Opus software.

A pop-down menu holds pre-built phrases you can load instantly, and the maker says they are optimized for each choir. You can add your own phrases to that menu.
