User reviews (The praise from Ethera users has been universal - here are some reviews submitted by customers on the website of our distribution partner Time+Space):
“Ethera delivers! Ethera has a deep soul. Clara's voice is transcendent. Since I purchased it upon its release, I have have made use of all three engines, particularly the Pads and Phrases. I highly recommend getting this.. You won't regret it. With so many other voice products on the market, I only recommend the ones that deliver the goods for under $100 and Ethera certainly delivers!” - written by 'Jawad Abu-Lughod'
"I've finally found her. For me, there's nothing quite as expressive as the voice, and the female one at that. I've spent a while looking at the various options online and I bought Ethera wondering if she could be the answer to my prayers. Thankfully, she is. There's something so haunting and melancholy about Clara's voice. You feel like she's pouring her heart and soul out with every note. The huge amount of patches leaves you with a staggering flexibility for your track. I'm using her with orchestral music, but I'm sure she would work in many applications. Ethera is the best female VI I've ever heard, frankly. It's a very personal thing, and Clara's voice just really resonates with me. I find her sound truly touching and very inspiring to write with! Isn't that exactly what you want from an instrument?" - written by 'OLIVER'
"At last I have purchased a vocal sound that fits my needs. The tonal structure of Clara is so soothing and the amount of things that her voice can be applied to, is endless. The imagination is inspired by just listening to her vocals. This, played over some Celtic Pads, is beautiful and heart lifting to say the least. Worth every penny, and I shall be spending hours upon hours on endless musical permutations." - written by 'AMBIOSIS'.
"Ethera is one of the best libraries I bought this year, with an incredible warm and cinematic tone. I loved all the various legato patches, especially the Phoneme Legato. The phrases are gorgeous and very inspirational to work with and the vocal pads are great too. Highly recommended!" - written by Luca Francini
Ethera 2.0 now features FOUR main instruments: Phrases, Pads, Legato and Phrase Builder.
The Phrases section now includes 58 patches ranging in styles from Epic, Fantasy, Celtic, Operatic, Tribal and World and even EDM and soul. These can be mixed and combined and using the two Off-Set controls you can change the starting points of the samples using the waveform display. This allows you to create new phrases and to personalise the existing phrases. These phrases can be manipulated in many ways by the GUI controls including time-stretching or syncing to your host application.
The Pads section contains several beautiful vocal pads that immediately add emotion or grandeur to your compositions.
The Legato section offers the ability to ‘play’ the voice of Ethera using ‘ohs’ and ‘ahs’ in sustained or staccato modes and features Attack, Legato Speed, Release, Vibrato, Pan and Volume controls.
The Phrase Builder is a set of samples and phrases programmed to act as an intelligent entity allowing the composer to live-play any articulation, on any pitch or chord. The Phrase Builder is available in Solo Legato & Poly! There are 20 individual steps (similar to a step sequencer) with which to program your unique phrase. The Phrase Builder also includes a new Legato Expert interface that uses the powerful SIPS engine and is the main control for the Legato Phrases Builder. With this Tab you can change and control the cross-fade, blending and legato modulation. It will enable you to minutely adjust the legato to suit your playing style.
Furthermore there is an additional folder called ETHERA EXTRA with awesome extra sounds such as virtual legato patches, sustains & pads.
ETHERA 2.0 also comes fully equipped with a complete FX section that includes chorus, flanger and phaser, compressor, EQ, filter, convolution reverb, overdrive, delay, amp simulator and cabinet simulator.
