Vocal
Control™
Accompanying the Giovani Edition,
Bela D Media is proud to introduce
Vocal Control, a unique and proprietary
software utility, custom designed
to enable composers to build and
play sentence-like phrases both
quickly and intuitively. With Vocal
Control, the construction and performance
of melodies and chordal accompaniments
consisting of complex words and
phrases is literally only a few
mouse clicks away. Vocal Control
frees Giovani owners to combine
complete or partial words from a
pool of authentic Latin vocal performances,
as well as a series of custom moving
vowel performances. A word or phrase
entered into Vocal Control may consist
of as many as 64 unique elements
or as few as a one or two syllables.
Once a word or phrase is inputted
into a Vocal Control phrase group,
it can be played in real time with
zero latency in virtually any tempo,
any key and any melody.
The utility provides up to four
‘phrases’ simultaneously,
with the option to link, cycle and
switch between phrases as desired.
Easily accessible, dedicated ‘Hot
Keys’ are assigned to the
real time control of features such
as phrase selection, phrase cycling,
word element lock and legato styles,
allowing users a wide range of ‘live’
performance options. The results
of this interaction between the
performer and Vocal Control can
be recorded directly into any local
or remote sequencer for instantaneous
playback. Bela D Media is certain
that Giovani owners will find Vocal
Control a deceptively addictive
addition to their arsenal of sample
library tools.
Legato
Control™
Incorporated into Vocal Control
is Bela D Media's new Legato Tool,
a combination of software coding
and sampler programming which routes
data to either legato or non-legato
patches in real time with zero latency
depending on the software's analysis
of the player's performance from
moment to moment. Legato slurs up/down
make for realistic results.
The Legato Tool can operate in
one of three modes, depending on
the performer's preference:
1. Fingered Legato, which works
in a similar fashion to the fingered
portamento mode (legato patches
are chosen if a new note is played
before a previous note has been
released).
2. Momentary Legato. Standard patches
are chosen unless the momentary
legato hotkey (C2) is held down.
While this key is held down, the
software scans the performance and
chooses appropriate legato patches.
3. Timed Legato. The performer can
specify a 'time window' after a
note's release, within which any
new notes played will be with appropriate
legato patches. Notes played outside
the time window will be directed
to standard patches.
As with Vocal Control's phrase
generator, the operation of the
legato tool is designed as far as
possible to be invisible to the
performer
