Bela D Media (BDM) provides composers with innovative tools, and the Vocal Enchantress for Kontakt is no exception. This chant-style vocal library, influenced by Norwegian dialect, offers a unique sonic palette with its mezzo-soprano vocals and powerful scripting capabilities. Let’s explore the features that make Enchantress and its included Bdm Tools a compelling choice for music producers.
Beyond One-Shot Vocals: Phrase Control with BDM Tools
Enchantress goes beyond traditional one-shot vocal libraries. Phrases like “Aramenti” are meticulously multi-sampled across a wide vocal range (G3-C5). BDM’s proprietary V Script allows real-time manipulation of these phrases, giving composers unprecedented control over articulation and timing. This innovative approach transforms simple vocal elements into dynamic, expressive musical building blocks. Key-switch activated phrases provide:
- E – aramenti / F# – ramenti / G – menti / A – ti
This nuanced control empowers you to craft intricate vocal melodies and harmonies with ease.
Enchantress: A Comprehensive Vocal Toolkit
Beyond its core phrase manipulation, Enchantress offers a wealth of sonic resources:
- Sustained Vocals: Non-looped, ~8-second sustains clocked at approximately 100 bpm including phrases like “Bielaora” and “Vallogyerta”.
- Vocal Pads: Two distinct vocal pads, one with a -12 semitone variation, provide textural depth and atmosphere.
- Ambient Sounds: Authentic stage performance ambience and church impulse responses add realism and spaciousness to your compositions.
- Producer Multis: Pre-configured multi instruments curated by BDM, featuring layered vocals, effects, and legato functionality for instant inspiration. These include standard and “Deep” variations, both with and without the church ambience.
Unleashing the Power of V Script: BDM’s Secret Weapon
The V Script is the engine driving Enchantress’s expressive potential. This sophisticated scripting tool streamlines complex vocal arrangements, allowing you to:
- Sequence vocal phrases in real-time and instantly recall them.
