Experience the pinnacle of choral sampling with recordings made by a 63-voice ensemble of top-tier vocalists from the SF Symphony Chorus, SF Opera, and more. Captured in the serene acoustics of Montclair Presbyterian, the library's sound is warm, clear, and majestic. The use of 12 large diaphragm Neumann Microphones ensures every nuance is preserved, offering a rich palette of sounds that seamlessly blend into both stereo and surround mixes. This meticulous recording process guarantees your compositions will resonate with unparalleled realism and depth.
The Olympus Symphonic Choir is not just about traditional choral sounds; it also includes an array of unique effects and articulations.

Whether you're working on film scores, video games, or concert pieces, these additional sounds open up new creative possibilities, allowing you to explore uncharted sonic territories and bring a distinctive edge to your projects.
With two masterfully mixed composite microphone distances (close/stage and far/hall), Olympus is designed for ease of use in any mix. This simplicity in routing, combined with the library's comprehensive articulations and true legato, makes it an indispensable tool for music production. Whether you're aiming for an intimate ensemble sound or a full-bodied choral wave, Olympus adapts to your creative vision, ensuring your musical ideas are realized with clarity and impact.

It is crafted to harness the power of Kontakt's advanced sampling capabilities, offering users an intuitive and flexible toolset for manipulating the unique sounds. While the library operates in a "demo mode" on the free Kontakt Player, its open-format design allows for broad compatibility with WAV-compatible software, ensuring that the sounds of the SoundIron Olympus Symphonic Choir can inspire music creation across a wide array of platforms. This library represents not just a collection of sounds, but a gateway to uncharted auditory experiences, encouraging musicians to explore, experiment, and express in new and exciting ways.
"I use SoundIron Mars and Venus as my go-to choirs. The variations of each vowel sound help them fit into any context and genre in a way other libraries cannot. They can be cinematic, epic, intimate or whatever I need. Definitely a joy to write with." - Leo Birenberg (Composer: Kung Fu Panda, The Paws of Destiny, Cobra Kai)
"I have to say I was genuinely blown away by the quality, sound and intuitive nature of the Olympus Symphonic Choirs. They have an epic character and seem to cut through mixes so effortlessly, so that's the choir I will usually find myself reaching for first!" - Misha Mansoor (Composer, Guitarist: Periphery)
"I love your choir libraries Mars and Venus. To date, I have yet to find anything that sounds as good and is as flexible. The legato patches are absolutely stunning." - David Levy
"Our favourite feature is the legato function. Assuming you want to play a monophonic line, this uses true legato for smooth transitioning while retaining the integrity of the phrase." - Music Radar
