Discover the hypnotic world of throat singing with the Throat Singing plugin from Gregjazz. This unique VST instrument allows you to integrate the ancient art of overtone singing into your digital music projects.
The Essence of Throat Singing
Throat singing is a remarkable vocal technique that allows a singer to simultaneously produce multiple sounds: a low fundamental tone (drone) and melodic overtones. This effect is achieved by manipulating the resonators of the vocal tract to amplify specific harmonics, creating the impression of polyphonic singing by a single person. The technique originates from the cultures of Central Asia and has deep traditional and ritual significance.
Throat Singing Plugin in Action
The Throat Singing plugin by Gregjazz is your bridge to these exotic sounds within a Windows VST environment. It emulates key throat singing styles, including Kargyraa (a deep drone with low overtones) and Khoomei (a lighter style with distinct high overtones).
This instrument is ideal for creating ambient soundscapes, adding ethnic color, developing soundtracks, and experimenting in contemporary music.
Functional Capabilities
Despite using a standard DAW host interface, the plugin offers basic but important control parameters:
- Tone selection: Choice between different Kargyraa and Khoomei techniques to change the timbre.
- Pitch control: Adjusting the main pitch, allowing the sound to be integrated into a melodic context.
- Stereo control: Managing the sound position in the stereo field for mixing.
- Harmonic Intensity control: Adjusting the volume of the overtones relative to the fundamental tone, changing the “brightness” of the harmonics.
- Mute button for Khoomei sound: A unique option that allows you to leave only the overtones of the Khoomei style, removing the fundamental tone to create pure harmonic textures.
Use in Creativity
Use Throat Singing for:
- Creating atmospheric backgrounds.
- Enriching compositions with unusual vocal textures.
- Designing unique sound effects.
- Exploring new sonic territories in your music.
Throat Singing by Gregjazz is a simple but powerful tool that expands your sound palette, adding elements of ancient art directly into your studio. Try it to give your tracks a unique depth and originality.
