VSTBuzz Vox Arcanum KONTAKT
Vox Arcanum is a deep, atmospheric library of aleatoric choral effects and textures, performed by a full 32-member choir and designed to bring dark, ominous energy to any score.
Recorded in a spacious 300 m² scoring stage, the library delivers a massive, cinematic sound ideal for film, game, and TV composers looking to add tension, depth, or unsettling choral movement to their work.
Dark Aleatoric Choral FX & Textures
Vox Arcanum packs 1.8GB of choral effects created by a balanced 32-voice ensemble:
8 Sopranos, 8 Altos, 8 Tenors, 8 Basses.
Captured at Georgian Film Studio using an SSL console, Prism Sound converters, and a premium mic setup (Neumann U87, KM184, AKG 414), the library includes:
-
“Aah” Crescendos – low, mid, and high clusters, glissando crescendos, and standard crescendos
-
“Sshh” Textures
-
Staccato Rips – up and down
-
Vocal Bends – octave up and down
-
Chaos Textures – non-tonal aleatoric layers
-
Claps & Snaps – powerful 32-person group claps and snaps
Whether you’re creating horror, dark atmospheric cues, or gritty underscore, this library delivers all the eerie character you need. The huge claps and snaps also make it surprisingly great for rock and pop productions.
WAV & Kontakt Formats + Five Mic Positions
Vox Arcanum includes five microphone positions, which you can load individually or combine to shape your mix:
-
Room
-
Mid
-
Close (three rows — one for each riser level)
You also get 21 convolution reverb IRs, each with adjustable pre-delay, size, and amount, making it easy to dial in exactly the ambience you want.
The Kontakt interface displays a large waveform so you can visually preview each sample. You can also flip any sample in reverse, run it at half or double speed, or anywhere in between — all without changing pitch. Combine this with long reverbs to create haunting, otherworldly textures.
Prefer working outside Kontakt? The full set of .WAV files is included for easy drag-and-drop use.
