VOXOS Epic Choirs Reviews

Idk why people hate it. Is supert cool and work 100% of the times! I love it

This is hands down the worst that I have ever paid for. Very much does not do what is promised

I really hoped for good sounds. But the free Musesounds are WAY better then this. :(

This is a great soundfont! However, the lyrics are not clear to me. I would like an update where you are able to hear the lyrics clearly.

I initially gave this a good review, but I've changed my mind. I don't know whether it something to do with a Musescore update or the samples themselves, but this makes too many horrible spasms for no obvious reason. For example, some tunes with a repeated soprano C5 flip between loud and quiet for no reason.

Rough legato, or simply just doesn't work

Very disappointed because of the clumsiness of this sample, the dynamics are very sloppy, too loud on piano and lower, Muse Choir sounds much softer and natural. The change between syllables is rough, legato doesn't work how it should work. 3/10 - it is maximum, I guess.

The selectable lyrics in the user guide don’t play back when typed in. Unless there is a different way to put them in, I’m stuck with the “ahh” sample. Please fix this!

It's a great soundfont. The only real problem I found at the moment is that the women's voices seem to glitch at mp and mf, which makes them pretty much unusable at those dynamics. If that issue is fixed, there wouldn't really be any problems with it.

Natural sounding voices, good variety

The choir and solo voices all sound excellent, and being able to type in the syllables as lyrics is really neat. The whole thing adds a lot to an orchestral/choir score! One feature I would love to see (probably on the MuseScore end of development rather than with the sample library itself) is the ability to have distinct playback lyrics vs. written lyrics. That way you could have the actual lyrics written out on the page, and the playback could sing a different set of hidden VOXOS syllables. Anyhow, great sounds here. It's crazy how inexpensive these MuseSounds sample libraries are.

It feels so much better to be able to hear the choir sing words instead of just "Ah, Ooh, etc." even if it's in their own VOXOS language (which I jokingly call "Adiemus"). This results in a better approximation of your choir playback because words, even if it's pseudo words, add nuance to your mockup. This Latin-derived pseudo-language also adds a layer of mystery to the choir which I love. I'm a choir composer as much as I am orchestral, and this library is a must-have! One thing to know when using this library they can't melisma a syllable (which is understandable since it's a limitation of the source library. It can only do one note per syllable basis). Although, you can still fake a melisma by using vowels to "extend" the syllable through many notes. The solo soprano, solo boy, and boy choir, though it does not have word options, sounds so lush and beautiful. Also, did I mention this library comes with shouts, glissando shouts, and whispers? Now you know! I cannot recommend enough this library. It's absolutely fantastic!

Fixed the women and men voices from crashing the app

4note-8th-4note -> good Sound but then there is Always a break on this 4note and the next 8th which Comes after ist very late. Sounds like sh.... Don't know if I'm doing sth. wrong - I'm really upset for having Paid for this...

This sound library is incredible. This is truly an epic deal for the price. That said, there are some bugs as others have said. It is absolutely still worth your money, though.

Some of these sounds have worked alright, and I like the amount of phenomes you can play with. However, there are random bugs that really ruin the experience. the Women patch on mezzo forte legato has loud midi artifacts; the Men patch on staccato has the same volume at mezzo forte and forte (both are very loud); the legato is nonexistent/broken for both the Men and Women patches; the "Ra" phenome on the Men patch is way too loud at low dynamics. Those are the issues I've found so far and, until they're fixed, I can't recommend spending money on this.

Impressed by the clever technology and sounds great with opera, music theatre, musicals, and choral works. Was experiencing crashes when trying to play lyrics as numerical values e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4 - stopped crashing when changes to one, two, three, four etc.

Every time I use Men/Women voices, musescore just crashes and there's no sound at all.

Has soprano solo voice but no solo alto, tenor, or bass. Why so limited? Seems like a basic thing to add solo voices for all standard ranges.

I installed this after the payment issue had been fixed and after reading the reviews after the 4.4.1 update but it doesn’t sound very good at all? I am on the latest version of musescore 4 and I ve tried reinstalling this plugin and musescore but the lyric function sounds stange and jumpy, the men and women option crashes the application, the default muse choir sound that is free sounds infinitely better. The boy soprano and solo soprano sound incredible though! I’m just very confused as to why the choir parts sound so rough for me while everyone else is praising the plugin for being fixed. Any help would be appreciated!

I find the library very good but, I miss some combinations like “Tom, Dom, Da, Dam” or the possibility to tipe: Do+m = Dom in example. That will be great for popular music. Thank you so much!

It is a real joy to use ! Thank You so much for this very usefull libray !!!

Now that 4.4.1 is released and the lyrics are fixed, this choir library is FINALLY at what it is supposed to be. Absolutely amazing sounding voices with a vast selection of phenomes. Nice job!

The marketing says this contains full epic men's and women's choir, but you don't get any women's voices. Everything is just boys. If you want women voices stick with Muse it is really quite good. Plus Voxos alto lines do very weird things. It seems that the volume drops on downward slurred phrases. The articulation between notes is quite jagged.
