Zero-G ETHERA Gold Odyssey

Angelic voices and celestial harmonies
Zero-G/Xfonic and Stefano Maccarelli are proud to present the latest chapter in the beloved Ethera Gold series: Odyssey.

Odyssey is an exclusive sonic experience dedicated to angelic voices, where celestial harmonies and enchanting melodies blend together to create a unique auditory embrace. Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of pure inspiration, where every note tells a story of emotion and beauty. In Odyssey, we've extensively sampled the voice of soprano Sarah Mueller, capturing as much of her expressiveness and natural nuance as possible.

In Odyssey, we've refined our True Legato Engine, offering two distinct True Legato instruments: Angelic True Legato and Odyssey True Legato, each with its own set of articulations. Angelic True Legato is perfect when you're looking for a very light, angelic vocal tone with just a touch of breathiness, it features two main articulations: Ah and Uh. Odyssey True Legato was designed to offer a slightly more structured vocal sound. Our goal was to maintain its inherent lightness whilst delivering a tone that's a bit more operatic and classical. It features several articulations: Oh, Expressive Syllables, Ah, and a special short articulation. The brand new Adaptive True Legato feature is included in these patches, which when turned on will intelligently respond to the speed you're playing at, so every legato transition is seamlessly smooth.

Odyssey features a vast selection of Vocal Phrases which add an extra layer of expressiveness to your compositions. We've even introduced the ability to select vocal phrases via key switches, giving you the flexibility to choose the exact tone you need without disrupting your creative flow.

The 3 Polyphonic Syllables Builder instruments provide a user-friendly way to create expressive, playable choral atmospheres whilst giving you complete control over harmony, tone, syllables, and sequences.

The final instrument is a powerful 3-layer Texture Designer. With this unique tool, you can create evocative vocal textures. It also comes with a range of presets to get you started. At its core, the instrument features a rewritten version of the Hybrid Engine from Elements Kepler. The Hybrid Vocal Synth engine makes it incredibly easy to modify the initial sound, allowing you to achieve completely different sonic textures.
