Voice of Gaia: Francesca Black Friday pricing is 50% off, which puts this Soundiron solo mezzo-soprano library for Kontakt at $59.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It features the singer Francesca Lilac Genco, whose voice has appeared in TV, game and film soundtracks. She performs fusions of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian vocal styles, and the result is a language of her own making.
The download is 6.7 GB and holds 8,327 samples across 39 Kontakt instrument presets. Samples are 24 bit / 48kHz uncompressed PCM wav, and the presets and wavs are unlocked so you can customise them.
Soundiron recorded Francesca in a dry studio with large-diaphragm Neumann microphones and silent Sound Devices preamps.
You choose between two mic options: a satin smooth omni or a crystal clear cardioid. Each has its own stereo panning, mixing and loading.
The staccato and sustain vowels include Ah, Ee, Eh, Oh and Oo, with piano, mezzo-forte and forte layers on several of them.
An auto-pan ensemble simulator mode is available for the sustains and staccatos. A swell control shapes dynamics in real time.
Phrases come in five style categories: Bombastic, Melodic, Bright, Atonal/Discordant and Whispering. They are sorted by native tempo and root key.
Tempo-sync, time-stretching and pitch transposition let you bend them to your project. You can also blend phrases with phrase-legato, sequence them in the step sequencer and trim them with speed control and live waveform editing.
The FX rack covers chorus, compression, distortion, amp and cab simulation, EQ, delay and reverb. The reverb section carries 25 creative convolutions and 45 live rooms, studios, chambers, cathedrals and halls, with tone, size and mix controls.
Everything is automatable, with customisable key switches and GUI controls. Each preset shows a real-time waveform display.
The full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.1.0 or above is required. In the free Kontakt Player the library only runs in demo mode.
Windows 7 or higher and Mac OS X 10.7 or higher are supported. The maker lists a dual-core CPU and 3 GB of RAM, and recommends a SATA or SSD drive.
Yes. The Voice of Gaia: Francesca Black Friday deal takes 50% off, bringing the Soundiron Kontakt library to $59.50. The offer ends Dec 6, 2026.
