Now with 20 fresh new snapshots, new per-layer LFO to PAN modulation, an improved user sample import experience and more! More details below..
A Brand New Engine
At the heart of Aria: Vocalscapes lies our brand new bespoke Aria Engine for Kontakt Player which is full of modulation possibilities and expressive effects as well as ways to mangle your own samples!
Get started by browsing a diverse array of articulations from traditional “Aah” and “Mmh” to heavily processed vocals, pick one for each of the two available slots and create ever evolving vocal-based soundscapes using the intuitive integrated XY pad.
Go further by layering or crossfading articulations, add two independent filters and assign any parameter to be controlled by either the X or Y axis: the limit is your creativity.
Make It Move...
Despite the sleek and simple interface, the creative options don’t end there! Aria: Vocalscapes offers additional depth with two step sequencers for the filters and per-layer LFOs empowering you to infuse rhythmic movement and modulation into your compositions.
Experiment With FX
Shape your audio further with three effects slots and an impressive FX panel which adjusts according to the effect selected – experiment with different combinations and fine-tune your sounds with ease.
Import Your Own Sounds
Capture your unique artistic expression by recording your own XY motions, store them as presets and adjust their playback speed. What’s more, you can even import your own samples for limitless creativity! Check out the video below to see how...
If you were captivated by the magic of Aria Libera, prepare to be mesmerised by Aria Vocalscapes.
"Aria Vocalscapes is an inspiring and creative product to use, thanks to its diversity and musicality, which stems from the initial sample content. It ships with a large number of presets but, for my money, it’s at its most creative when you dive in to the instrument and edit or create your own palette." - 5/5

New in Aria Vocalscapes v1.1 (Released May 2024)
- Improved user sample import experience, with automatic pitch detection of the sample dropped and a new option to have the user sample either looped or one-shot.
- If activated, the motion controller is now running only when a note is actually being played.
- New per-layer LFO to PAN modulation available.
- 20 new snapshots.
- All non-pitched articulation are now monophonic to avoid the phasing issues that could occasionally happen when playing chords with those articulations.
- Minor bug fix and minor GUI improvements.
- NOTE: the new features means that sessions saved with the older version of the engine might sound slightly different if opened after the update. For this reason we recommend existing users finish their project before updating, or render to audio the parts in question.
