Atelier Series: Amber

Performed by Amber Balltzglier, Atelier Series Amber is the first of it's kind – a true, triple-tracked legato vocal library.

That means we recorded all of the performances three times (per vowel) and stacked them on top of each other. This way the subtle inconsistencies in speed/pitch between each vocal take can play off each other, resulting in a performance/sound that resides somewhere between a solo vocal and a choir.

Initially intended for pop settings, we quickly learned that it's uniquely-suited for cinematic, EDM and world genres as well.

In addition to the natural 3 Ensemble Legato patches, we created faux 9 Ensemble versions; massive lead instruments intended for epic/dramatic passages. With all the legato patches, if you hit velocity 100 or above, it triggers a consonant attack: Lah for the Ah's, Woh for Oh's and Doo for Ooo's.

Also included is Awakenings – a keyswitch suite of seven different designed pads sourced from the vocal recordings.

Aside from touring extensively for seven years, Amber Balltzglier has served as a session vocalist for 20+ years. Currently, she is the Worship Arts pastor at Rock Spring Church in Milner, Georgia. She has been married to her husband Mark for 17 years and is mom to Hess, Harper and Holland. They reside in Forsyth, Georgia.
