Make sure you watch the video. It has it's niche, all ff & better suited for stronger dynamic material in general although it can be used on soft passages. Being a new dev I think he's done a great job on this. A few bugs IMO, the marcatos seem to hang a bit. I've been trying out on a few projects & am impressed with the sound overall.

More cool stuff I can't afford. Anyhow, with only 5 syllables it probably can't do "Scaramouche, scaramouche, can you do the Fandango".
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

updated to 1.2
"Storm 1.2 update which now has an improved Tightening function (and ability to tighten all the syllables differently by percentage) plus a whole new take that you will be able to overdub with the Stack option! Yes, this means +1 GB of new sample content!
Right now the "Stack" button was doubling the recordings, but the new patches (that have "3" in their name) will be able to triple the sound of the choir! This will help you achive that massive and thick sound to your tracks with the chamber ensemble choir."

I've been using it for awhile now & am pleased.
Rather inexpensive, a bit limited but works well as a mf-forte vocal pad or effect. Good sounding samples that sit well in a mix.
Handy & useful sample controls & mic positions.
Depending on the material & how it's mixed it can actually fool your ear into hearing lyrics being sung rather than the short phrases it uses.
My only critique is that there's a bt of latency when triggering the samples. Even with PDC enabled there's a bit of a slight hesitation. I just allow for it & either play slightly ahead of the beat or slide notes back few ticks.
Takes a bit of getting used to. The timing can actually help make the track sound a little more realistic as well.

Oh it's a dandy. And couldn't be easier to use. Even has a great feature which lets you delay the start of the samples to create new "consonant free" phrases. Plus, as above, they've already enhanced it. I've used it on a couple of projects now and have gotten "holy moly!!" responses from my clients. They likey. Me likey too.

Prolly more like "Sca Mou Sca Mou Ca Ca Do Ah Fa Do Do. (He He...I said Ca Ca).
DeDoDoDo done with NI's Action Strings and Soundiron's Mars and Venus Choirs (they have like 30 syllables each, not all the same). Stoopid example but I knocked it out in like 20 minutes fer fun. You gotta get throuh a verse before the choirs kick in.

I'm keeping this one on my radar. Yoropal sounds all excited about this one. And it's kind of affordable, actually.

George plans on doing a sequel to Storm by way of indiegogo if interested. The following 30 days will be something really special for us and we are really excited to be making this library go to a next level. We have made a list of all the requirements from our current owners and can't wait to start working on this project! http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/storm-choir-2

He's hit the goal which is great. Glad he got there - well worth contributing still as Carl said - you get 80% their off existing libs if you fund the campaign.
