Musical Sampling Atelier Series Maggie

Soulful legato vocal release for cinematic and modern songwriting contexts

Atelier Series Maggie is a rich, soulful legato vocal release for emotional, cinematic and modern songwriting contexts. Included are three vowel patches (ahh, ooo, mmm) with natural, progressive vibrato. Musical Sampling spent a lot of time finessing the legato transitions using a variety of post-production and programming techniques to allow Maggie’s performances to sail through smoothly. 

In addition to the Emotional Legato patches, they've included Evermore; an evolving sustains keyswitch patch. They sourced the material from the vocal recordings and ran them through a bespoke array of hardware pedals for atmospheric, tonal sound design. Included are six presets: Promise, Afterglow, Hallowed, Abyss, Prayer and Stardust.

Patches:

• Maggie Emotional Legato – Ahh
• Maggie Emotional Legato – Ooo
• Maggie Emotional Legato – Mmm
• Evermore – Keyswitch

What Is The Atelier Series?

Oftentimes during the research and experimental phase of development, MusicalSampling will create instruments that don’t necessarily belong to a bigger, themed release. Instead of attempting to shoehorn them into a future release or trying to construct a comprehensive product around it, they decided to create the Atelier Series so that other composers can enjoy our explorations in sample development as well.
