Silka is a new-generation, deep-sampled choral library dedicated to realistic, expressive, and easy choral writing. In addition to our super realistic and easily playable polyphonic legato, Silka also contains several new types of legato, including dynamically layered intimate legatos, and a wealth of rhythmic and textural articulations.

Silka can be the falling star across the summer sky, a powerful instrument for even the largest of compositions, or a subtle, gentle stroke with your compositional brush. It can be ethereal and angelic, or roaring and dramatic. It is an immersive instrument designed to cover the true emotion and motion of choral writing.

The soul of Silka is 40 males and 25 females hand-picked by master conductor Petr Polonanik, the same group used in our Insolidus Choir.

A variety of new recording and sampling techniques were used in Silka, making it the most realistic, instantly playable, and lyrical symphonic choir in existence. Our new Syllable arcs offer a naturally swelling motion of the choir, and the ability to control the number of syllables (2, 4, or 5). Silka contains an advanced phrase-builder offering you the ability to create up to 64 strings of syllables. You have a deep assortment of new, rhythmic Staccato-Legatos and a wealth of other rhythmic and textural articulations. You have new velocity based Intimate True Legato for classic syllables (Ah, Eh, Oh, Uh and Mmmmm).

Polyphonic Legato and True Intimate Legato

Silka contains a large set dynamically layered True Intimate Legato samples for common articulations such as: “Ah, Eh, Oh, Uh, and Mmmm.”
