Vocal Shouts

Many styles of contemporary music include shouts and other non-tonal vocal sounds.
The Vocal Shouts and Vocal Shout Effects instruments provide a different sound for
each note, which you can trigger from your keyboard. These sounds are non-looping
and non-transposing.

Human Body Rhythm Effects

This instrument features different rhythm sounds spread across the notes on the
keyboard like a drum kit. The sounds included in the Human Body Rhythm Effects
instrument follow the layout of the General MIDI specification, so the instrument can
be used with existing drum loops and Software Instrument regions.

Human Body Sound Effects

In addition to percussive and bass sounds, the human body can produce many sounds
with a definite musical pitch. This instrument includes a variety of tonal body sound
effects that you can use to add a unique flavor to your projects.

Using the Voices Apple Loops

Voices gives you over 2000 Apple Loops with vocal lines, phrases, and harmony parts
that you can add to your projects. Some Apple Loops are designed to be used as
background vocals, whereas others are intended to be used as lyrical phrases. You can
arrange a series of phrases to create your own lead vocal parts.

In modern studio recordings, a vocalist often records a series of phrases that can be
edited and arranged or “comped” together to create a continuous vocal line. You can
use the Apple Loops included in Voices in the same way, either by splitting loops or by
shortening them in order to mix different fragments of a larger phrase.
