Olympus Choir Elements free download

Need choir sounds in your track but don't want the complexity of full lyrical phrasing? You want the power of a large ensemble for pads, swells, and vowel-based parts without managing a soloist or intricate word-building. Olympus Choir Elements addresses this, offering the core choir textures from Soundiron's larger library in a streamlined format. It's available as a free download, delivering a 2.52 GB sample library built for the free Kontakt Player.

What You Get in the Library

This library is built around a 63-voice choir recorded in a wide, close stage blend. You get independent control over the male and female divisi sections, including configurable note ranges for each.

Core Articulations & Playability The focus is on eight core vowel articulations: Ah, Ee, Eh, Ei, Ih, Mm, Oh, and Oo. These are captured as sustains, staccatos, and marcatos with dynamic layering from pp to ff. The system uses intelligent round robin. For playability, it includes true Ah & Oo legato sustains with a flexible legato system supporting up to 6-part polyphonic harmony. Performance & Phrasing Tools The Vowelmaster preset lets you switch between live sustains and staccatos. The Phrasemaster is a sequencer for creating up to 16 different complex 16-step sustain/staccato phrases. You also get choral effects like swells, sweeps, shouts, and whispers. Sound Shaping & Effects The fully automatable interface gives you control over Swell, Attack, Release Time, Release Volume, Sample Start Offset, and Panning for each section. It includes a full 3-band EQ, an optional vibrato feature, and over 50 custom convolution reverbs (halls, cathedrals, FX). There are also 12 bonus atmospheric and custom FX instrument presets.

Who Should Use Olympus Choir Elements

This fits a few specific scenarios. It's useful for composers who need to quickly add choir sections using vowel sounds to underscore a scene or build a track's climax, without scripting lyrics. It works for producers creating ambient pads and evolving soundscapes who want to use choral textures as a foundational layer. It's also good for anyone who needs the massive forte punch and smooth dynamics of a large choir but prefers a compact, single-interface instrument over a complex multi-patch system.

Final Verdict

Grab Olympus Choir Elements if your music needs the sound of a large choir for textures, swells, and vowel-based parts, and you want a relatively straightforward instrument to manage. You get a lot of sonic power and useful phrase-building tools in one package. The catch is you need the free Kontakt Player 5.5.1 or later, a broadband connection for the digital download, and you must register it online through Native Instruments. If your work doesn't require solo vocalists or lyrical phrasing, this library covers a wide range of choral needs. You can find it on sites like audiotorrent for a soundiron free download.
