About the Artist
Joseph Trumbo is a young, upcoming operatic bass singer studying at Oberlin College and Conservatory in Ohio.

Exceptional vocal realism
Voice of Rapture: The Bass sets a new standard in vocal sampling with its three True Legato types ('Ah', 'Oh', 'Oo'), achieving maximum realism and fluidity. The traditional long-form recording method captures the depth and resonance of Joseph Trumbo's voice, ensuring smooth transitions and a lifelike performance. Additional sustains and staccatos in both piano and forte dynamics, along with mezzo-piano hummed notes, offer a broad spectrum of expressive capabilities, allowing for nuanced musical storytelling.
Diverse chromatic articulations
This library goes beyond traditional vocal samples by including a wide range of chromatic articulations and 29 Latin and vowel staccato syllables and words, enabling precise attack shaping and syllable switching. The 12 sustaining chromatic Latin chants, featuring synchronized legato, tempo-synching, and instant word selection, enrich compositions with their authenticity and expressiveness, covering a playable range of over two octaves.
Expansive melodic phrase library
With 1466 melodic phrases across fast and slow core tempos, The Bass offers unprecedented versatility. Real-time tempo-synching and time-stretching allow these phrases to seamlessly integrate into any project, regardless of key or tempo. Joseph Trumbo's voice traverses a variety of modes and styles, from traditional Latin to French, Whistling, and Humming, alongside essential vocal effects such as whispers and breaths, providing a comprehensive toolkit for creative expression.
Advanced sound design capabilities
The included DSP Rack panel, featuring multi-effects, compression, EQ, amp/speaker simulation, and convolution reverb, elevates the potential for sound design. With dozens of custom rooms, halls, chambers, and cathedrals at your fingertips, alongside a deep selection of sound-designed vocal ambiences, drones, atmospheres, and pads crafted from Joseph's voice, composers and sound designers can create rich, immersive sonic environments that captivate and inspire.
Made for Kontakt
Optimized for the full version of Kontakt 5.1 or later, this library extends beyond traditional sampling. It is crafted to harness the power of Kontakt's advanced sampling capabilities, offering users an intuitive and flexible toolset for manipulating 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 Voice of Rapture: The Bass 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.
