Raèld Choir. One voice, a whole choir.

Sing one line and hear it sung back by a choir of up to 128 people: every singer a different person, who comes in a touch early or late, sits a few cents from the note and has their own vibrato, voice and breath. Never one voice copied. Choose the kind of choir, how many, and what they sing.

The Raèld Choir plugin window: a rack unit in black anodised aluminium with slotted rack ears. At the top left the RAÈLD nameplate with its È lit ice blue and CHOIR PREMIERE beside it. Machined black knobs with an ice-blue ring for CHOIR TYPE, VOICES, HARMONY, KEY and SCALE on the left, each with a small backlit window showing its value (MIXED, 32, CHORDS, C, MAJOR). In the middle a blue-white backlit LCD shows the choir on its stage in perspective with V 32, N 1, C MAJ and the chord along its foot, LED ladders for IN and OUT either side and a lamp for each section under it. On the right CHORD AT LEAST, INTENSITY, ROOM and MIX knobs and a NEW SINGERS key.
How it works

Many people, never copies

A choir sounds like a choir because its singers aren't the same. Raèld Choir hears your vocal once, then gives every singer their own habits, place and voice.

Each singer a person

Their own timing, pitch, drift and scoops, their own vibrato or none, their own voice colour, breath and loudness, drawn for each seat.

Sections in their ranges

Sopranos, altos, tenors, basses or trebles, each in the octave its range needs, standing in its place on the stage.

Consonants kept tight

The choir's "s", "t" and breaths are made fresh and lined up with yours: never smeared, never a copy of your recording.

In a room

A studio, a chapel, a church, a cathedral or a concert hall, the reflections coming from where each section stands.

The unit

A rack unit, read at a glance

Built as a real piece of studio hardware: black anodised aluminium in a rack, machined knobs with printed scales and a small backlit window under each showing its value, a backlit LCD that shows the choir on its stage as it sings, LED meters for IN and OUT, a lamp for each section. The software keys sit in a quiet rail under the unit; the section mixer and the singers' differences open in a window of their own. It opens small and scales from 85 to 300 %.

Features

From a double to a mass choir

Seven choir types

Women, Men, Mixed, Church, Concert, Gospel and Children: each with its own sections, ranges, voices, vibrato, timing, intensity and room.

1 to 128 singers

Solo Double, Quartet, Ensemble, Chamber Choir, Choir, Concert Choir, Mass Choir, or any number between. The loudness stays steady as the choir grows; it gets fuller, not louder.

Harmony five ways

Unison, octaves, parts in the key (a third, a fifth, an octave...), chords of the key that change on your DAW's beat, or the chords you play on a MIDI keyboard.

Rooms and distance

Dry, Studio, Chapel, Church, Cathedral and Concert Hall, with DISTANCE (how far back you listen) and WIDTH; a de-esser and tone for the choir alone.

Intensity

From soft and breathy to full and powerful: tone, vibrato, breath, consonants and level move together, as singers do.

NEW SINGERS

Another choir in one press, every singer drawn afresh. The same choir number always brings back the same people, so your session sounds the same every time.

Measured, not guessed

Natural, in numbers

On synthetic singing with a known pitch, through the plugin as a DAW loads it. Nothing from another company has been measured.

Where it's weaker: a large choir uses a good share of the processor (a mass choir of 128 about 20 % of one core while playing, more on a busy computer); in Real-time, a choir singing high above a man's voice can vary in level from note to note (High Quality and every bounce hold it steady).

Questions

Good to know

What should I put it on?

A dry lead vocal: one singer, before reverb or doubling. The choir follows what it hears and brings its own room.

Will it sound like my voice copied?

That's what it's built to avoid. Every singer has their own timing, pitch, vibrato, voice colour, breath and loudness, and the consonants are made fresh. We measure the swings that copied voices make (comb filtering, phasing), and they're absent at every size from 2 to 128.

Can it sing harmony?

Yes: octaves, parts in the key (set the song's key and scale), chords of the key that change on your DAW's beat, or the chords you play on a MIDI keyboard.

How much processor does it use?

It depends on the size: a choir of 32 about 9-10 % of one core, a mass choir of 128 about 19-21 % while playing. A bounce or freeze processes every singer fully. If a big choir crackles, raise the buffer size or freeze the track.

Can I sing through it live?

Yes, with QUALITY set to Real-time (about 10 ms of delay). High Quality, the default, has about 119 ms of delay, which your DAW makes up for automatically during playback and mixing.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Without a key it runs as a full demo; the only limit is a short dropout every 45 seconds. Enter a Raèld Choir key or your All Access key any time to unlock it.
