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
