A World of Voices

Augmented Choirs is fueled by various sound categories, each with distinct character and creative potential.

• Classical - Rich, traditional ensembles with timeless tone
• Studio - Modern, tight harmonies ideal for pop and hybrid
• Georgian & Folk - Rare Eastern ensembles and interval-based harmonies
• Solo Vox - Intimate soloists across genres and styles
• Synth - Iconic synths shaping vocal textures from sharp attacks to lush soundscapes
• Tape - Specially recreated sounds, re-sampled on tapes, slowed down or speed up

Captured With Precision

Every recording was captured with obsessive attention to detail. Microphone choices and positioning were optimized for each performance, capturing every nuance, including the natural release stages in our Classical recordings (True Release). Unique articulations, sustained vowels, dynamic swells, and special techniques were recorded to maximize expressive potential, the result is a palette of over 500 vocal sources that can be used pure and unprocessed, or radically transformed.

Hybrid Power, Infinite Possibilities

Augmented Choirs merges UVI’s world-class vocal sampling with advanced synthesis to create an instrument that goes far beyond traditional choir libraries. Its 4-layer architecture allows you to mix, morph, and modulate traditional and non-traditional sources, building unique hybrid timbres heard nowhere else. Whether you want subtle human breath in a synth pad, or a cathedral choir layered with vocoders and tape noise, the possibilities are endless.

Augmented Engine

At its core is a feature-rich synthesis and modulation environment, with extensive sound design potential and a powerful sequencer that can transform static patches into rhythmic textures, ostinatos, or evolving swells.

• Envelopes, multi-mode filters & effects per layer
• Built-in sequencer for evolving textures
• Extensive FX rack including send & bus effects

Designed by Experts

Over 800 presets were handcrafted by UVI’s sound design team, each built to inspire and serve as both finished sounds and starting points for exploration.
Presets range from traditional choral ensembles and cinematic layers to ethereal pads, rhythmic pulses, vocal textures, and experimental effects. Because all are built on a powerful hybrid engine, even the most traditional starting points can be morphed into something entirely new in seconds.

One-of-a-Kind Expression

From cinematic scores and pop productions to avant-garde soundscapes, Augmented Choirs offers a spectrum of timbres no other instrument can match. It’s the human voice, timeless, emotional, and endlessly transformable, reimagined for the modern composer and producer.
