While releasing Dominus Choir two years ago, we were already looking
forward to enrich it with new features. Among them, the possibility to
sing in English and Marcato and Staccato articulations. By now we could
say that we successfully accomplished the task.
This time, Paolo
had in mind the perfect picture of how the choir library would have
sung, knowing exactly how to achieve the best result; Mario Lanaro, from
its first sampling experience had by that time become a true
sampling-machine, with his positive attitude and attention to detail,
always striving to pull out the best from the singers; the choirs
themselves, with the perfect blend of experience of the oddities of
sampling and the excitement for the new challenge.
From the very beginning, in Dominus Choir Pro we paid particular
attention to build up exactly the same recording settings of Dominus
Choir. Moreover, the days of sampling where enriched from the solid
support brought by Simone Mor and Matteo Melchiori, now stable part of
FluffyAudio.
Again, a big thank you goes to the two conductors of the
wonderful choirs we sampled, Mrs. Jose Borgo and Mr. Maurizio
Sacquegna, Female Vocal Ensemble "La Rose" and Vocal Ensemble
"Novecento"; to our dear Pietro Pasquini, to Mario Lanaro and to all the
people who once again supported us during these years.
...What more? We can just say that Dominus Choir Pro literally "speaks" or better "sings" for itself!
"Dominus" in latin means "Lord" or "Master". This word can be heard in many examples of sacred Christian Music.
Despite
its noble origins, the choice of the name "Dominus" was actually
inspired by Dominoes, the popular game that dates back to 13th century
China and which spread out to Europe five centuries later.
In
facts, the way the engine works resembles this ancient game. In Dominoes
you connect the different tiles according to their value. Dominus Choir
utilizes an engine which intelligently connects the different syllables
by the vowels which both precede and follow the consonants.
The
vowels are the glue that holds the words together. This system keeps the
musicality and the realism of the original sessions intact, but also
gives the user complete control over the duration of each part of the
words built with the word editor.
The same system flawlessly
works under the score in Dominus Choir Pro, taking care to smooth the
transitions between the various syllables.
In addition to this,
Dominus features beautiful true-legato transitions for all the vowels in
the library, capable of dealing with movements from the softest to the
strongest dynamics, and, an intuitive polylegato engine that simply
works as it should.
