For example, pressing C1 on the keyboard will give you one articulation of the choir, C#1 will call up another and so on. There are 5 choirs total: Boys, Alto, Soprano, Basses and Tenors.

You can blend these instances to locate your choir in sonic space. Each choir comes recorded from 3 microphone positions, close, stage and hall. They were recorded in the same concert hall as the Symphonic Orchestra collection. The basic presets of the choir are, as you would expect, top notch. The Word Builder also comes in the form of a MIDI type plugin for sequencers that support it. It also comes with a separate application called the Word Builder. SC comes with a special version of Kompakt by Native Instruments, which has several directories Multis (multichannel setups) and presets. Like many large libraries, the samples are installed in protected containers on your hard drive, 27 to be exact, and each holds directories of samples, which the presets and word builder call up as needed. The Symphonic Choirs collection is sometimes referred to as EWQLSC, for, yep, you got it, East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs. You may have seen them referred to by their initials, which can be confusing. I call these "The Big Four" of the East West/Quantum Leap Collection. Its is one of the many large sample libraries East West distributes which include Rare Instruments, or RA, Colossus, and of course, the Symphonic Orchestra, with its Silver, Gold and Platinum editions (and the newer "XP" upgrades of these).

S ymphonic Choirs is a sample library by East West/Quantum Leap.
