To chime in: I agree, the ONLY reason word builder was even included in something like EWQL choir is because making the choir sing the stock Latin phrases makes it sound a little more realistic than just OOh and AAh pads. However if the OOH and AAH sounded realistic to begin with then 90% of people wouldn't give a rat's ass about having word builder and I'm one of them.

As long as the new VSL Choir is absolutely stunning in its OOHS and AAHS then it will be worth it and I will be one of the first buyers....

Keep in mind to be "stunning" it has to:

1. sample legato intervals realistically which to date has been the weakest part of any choir

2. have staccatos and ability to go "epic" such as perhaps crescendos etc(sadly this is the one area I doubt VSL choir will be strong in as VSL in general seems to be often more geared towards the stage composer rather than cinematic/film composers but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised)

+1.

Hey VSL - where the heck is the release???   Need it last week.[;)]

E/W Choir can sing English too

E/W is quite stupid because they have not work and improve their dictionaries.

When you use word builder, you have to do a lot of work so it sounds OK, you cannot just type your phase

E/W could add other language has they have all the sound recorded, it is just a question to dictionary 

 Noticed that the choir choiz has ended.... just missed by 10.000 samples :) oh well.

Good - now that we got that out of the way - let's roll out our credits cards and ship the darn thing OUT.[;)]

Wonder when and if they are going to annonce a winner of the quiz.....?

I don't remember what I've sent .... anyway, 31,412 samples is 5 times less than the solo strings BUT will be 5 times hotter !! (and the solo strings is already hot)

Long live to VSL !! [I]

I wonder: will there also be a prize allotted to the one furthest off the mark in the choir quiz?[A]

Who told you this?

Americans will hear the Choir first? Really?

It's actually quite cruel. After all, with the state of their economy, nobody will be able to afford it. [:D]

Not far off but we are hopeful that Obama will offer a 'Sample Library Stimulus Package' - he's done if for everything else.[:$]

I might be a contender for that one...

I'd settle for a Stimulating Sample Library Package!

I don't think my package could cope with any stimulation. I'm far too old for all of that nonsense. [:(]

I was going to make a joke about rimshots, but that would just be in bad taste.
