The Voice of Rapture: The Soprano Black Friday deal takes 50% off this Soundiron solo operatic soprano library for Kontakt, so it comes to $59.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It's a 3.5 GB collection recorded with soprano Nichole Dechaine in a warm studio room. Soundiron says it gives you more expressive range and workflow flexibility than any other solo operatic soprano library.
It's a Kontakt instrument built around one classical operatic voice, with playable chromatic content and ready-made melodic phrases. Every articulation is programmed into Soundiron's performance system.
The maker lists 3,061 samples at 24 bit / 48kHz uncompressed PCM wav.
The core is two true legato sustain types, recorded with the full-sustain method: 'Ah' (forte, with vibrato) and 'Oo' (piano, no vibrato).
All the chromatic content covers a range of just over 2 octaves.
There are 867 improvised phrases recorded at 100 bpm. You can lock them to your project with real-time tempo-syncing or time-stretching.
Phrases come in the root keys A through G, in major and minor, and transposition control lets you move them into other keys.
The phrase section covers vowel melodies, Latin melodies based on the traditional Angelic Salutation, and French phrases based on the 19th century poem "Ici-bas" by René-François Sully-Prudhomme. A whistling phrase set is included as well.
Pattern sequencing, legato blending and shaping are built into the phrase instruments.
A swell control shapes dynamics in real time. Controls are fully automatable, with customizable key switch and GUI setups, and every preset shows a live waveform display.
The FX rack has chorus, compression, distortion, amp and cab simulation, EQ, delay and reverb. The convolution reverb carries 25 creative FX impulses and 45 real-world rooms, studios, chambers, cathedrals and halls, with tone, size and mix controls.
The library installs at 3.46 GB and ships as 46 Kontakt 5.1.nki presets. 35 Kontakt 4.2 presets are included for backwards compatibility.
You need the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt, 5.1.0 or later for the K5 presets and 4.2.4 or later for the K4 ones. The free Kontakt Player runs it in demo mode only.
Soundiron lists Windows XP or higher, Mac OSX 10.6 or higher and a dual-core CPU with 2 GB of RAM. It recommends a SATA or SSD drive. The presets and wav samples are unlocked, so you can customize them.
Nichole Dechaine holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in vocal performance and has sung leading roles in opera and musical theater. She appears as a soloist with choirs and orchestras and records for film.
