Realitone IntroducesSunset Choir Lite

A scaled-down but still formidable version of this choir library, recorded in historic Sunset Sound Studios

The full Ultimate version is an excellent, unique sampled choir library – hold your breath for my review here the near future – but there’s also room for a light version at a lower price. And here you have it.

The following press release is from Mike Greene of Realitone. – NB

So here’s the thing about making a choir library for three years…

You end up with a LOT of stuff. Incredible stuff: Sustains, True Legatos, True Portamento (slow) Legatos, Polyphonic Legatos, Consonants, Repetitions, a 2-Layer system borrowed from Sunset Strings (our “Strings Library of the Year” winner) … the list goes on.  And on

I honestly believe Sunset Choir Ultimate is the most unique and versatile choir library ever made. Sample Library Review agreed, awarding it “Best Choir of 2025.”

But a lot of you have been asking, “Mike, this sounds great! But do I really need ALL of that?”

Fair point.  No, you don’t.

So by popular demand: Sunset Choir Lite — now just $99.  Check it out:

So what’s in it?
Ten women.  Ten men.  Top L.A. singers recorded at United Recording (formerly Ocean Way) in Hollywood — the same room that gave Sunset Strings its sound.  Nine 12-hour days.  Trust me, my bank account will confirm we didn’t cheap out on the room or the talent.

Here’s what you get:
• Sustains in Ah, Oo and Mm — mp, forte, and breathy

• Smooth legato — both mp and forte — with all three vowels

• Slow (portamento) legato. People love this in Sunset Strings. It’s in here too.
• Polyphonic legato that’s actually playable

• Repetitions engine — random soloist swells you can make sparse or thick

• Our 2-Layer system with the mod wheel, including formant tracking for transitions that actually sound real

• Attack and Release articulations: breaths, slow bends, converge, scatter, and consonants for building simple phrases

• User presets via keyswitches, so you can switch sounds mid-performance
Wait, what’s the difference between Lite and Ultimate?

Ultimate has six vowels; Lite has three (Ah, Oo and Mm — which, honestly, covers a lot of ground). Ultimate goes deep on the wild stuff: ensemble murmurs, screams, unusual extended articulations, 41 Repetition types, six consonants on attacks, five on releases… if you’re scoring a psychological thriller, you probably want Ultimate.  Ultimate also gives you separate Close and Far mic mixes.

But if you want a world-class choir that sounds stunning on your next cue? Lite does that beautifully.

And if you end up wanting more later, we’ll credit your $99 toward Ultimate.

Current price: $99
