Review of Omen – A Kontakt Library Based on Ritual Voices and Epic War Chants
Ritual Voices & War Chants • Kontakt Library
Omen is a Kontakt library based on ritual voices and epic war chants. Silence+Other Sounds recorded many traditional singing styles from different cultures around the world: Tuvan throat and overtone singing (Kaargyra, Khoomei, and Szygyt), Sardinian Throat singing (Bassu), Nordic Kulning (high pitch female style), Slavic Singing (white voices), Western baritone, tenor and soprano, guttural voices, ritual chants, and even extreme distortion, high-pitch techniques, screams, vocal fry, and growls.
Ethereal to Dark and Aggressive Voices
The library contains a wide variety of sounds, from soft and ethereal to dark and aggressive.
One type of singing that is featured in the Omen library is Tuvan throat and overtone singing (Kaargyra, Khoomei, and Szygyt). This type of singing can be heard on the track “Spirit of the Hawk-Owl”, which is from the album Earth Groans by the band Tengger Cavalry.
Sardinian Throat singing (Bassu) is a style of singing that is used to communicate with the spirits. It is said that the spirits can be summoned by using this type of singing. The voices are able to produce a low, resonant sound that is said to carry far away.
Omen also includes Slavic Singing (white voices), which is a unique style of vocalization that has been used in many Slavic countries for centuries. This style is characterized by its light, airy quality, and is often used to convey happiness or joy.
Guttural voices are often associated with aggressive or demonic behavior. They are usually heard in genres such as death metal and black metal. The growl is the most common type of guttural voice.
Perfect for TV, Film, Game
Omen is for TV, film, game composers, and sound designers looking for an of-a-kind instrument based on rare recordings made by religious experts to immediately set dark ages moods.
It’s perfect if you are making an epic fantasy soundtrack or any movie with themes involving olden times like Deliverance, The Hobbit, Gladiator, or Game of Thrones.
Omens specialties include fitting in well during post-horror episodes while also being useful when composing electronic music where his haunting sounds can be layered over other genres such as ambient, EDM, chillout, and trip-hop.
Omen is also great for background themes in other types of movies such as thrillers or documentaries that take place during wars since it contains a wide variety of war chants and epic sounds that can be used to recreate the moods from famous battle scenes involving archers, cavalry units, foot soldiers and horse-mounted soldiers.
Omen is available for purchase at an affordable price, and the library comes with a powerful mixer section where you can blend your chosen sounds together to create unique atmospheres that will give your compositions their own special touch of authenticity.
A Fantasy Music Composer Library
Silence+Other Sounds have worked hard to make sure Omen contains all the tools sound designers need to start making epic, dark fantasy music right away.
The Omen interface comes with a handy browser where you can preview each sound before loading it into the Kontakt instrument so you will always know what your samples are going to sound like when they’re loaded up in your projects.
The result is a set of 8 different playable Kontakt instruments that combine all these voices together to create an impressive range and variety in sound.
The instruments in Omen sound like a plethora of different things, from the eerily calm landscape to screams and chants.
How to Make Your Music Sounds More Like Its Name
The range of sounds and voices in this world is as diverse and compelling to the human ear as any other animal or plant. From shamanic low vocal drones, through mysterious rhythmic hymns; soft female choirs that could be an ethereal offering from angelic beings–or perhaps they’re just singing for fun? There’s also aggressive haka-style chanting if you like your music loud!
But don’t forget about those monk humming sounds too…they might make someone’s day better if he hears them outside his window while working on something important at home.
The instruments in Omen are so evocative that they immediately evoke a sense of the sacred, whether through solemn rituals or screams on battlefields.
The ethereal colors and landscape also have a great effect on this overall soundscape with their own imagery associated with them which can be either beautiful like Nordic lands at night time when there is only moonlight able breakthrough covering everything in shadows, enchanting if one listens closely enough into these forgotten temples where ancient chants fill your ears while you wander surrounded by dark woods holding branches overhead surprisingly lightly considering how large some trees may appear during day-time hours…or terrifying like when you hear the sounds of howling winds moaning through abandoned villages, or something even worse–a dark army growing closer and closer to your doorstep.
Omen is perfect for making horror-themed music due to the variety of creepy chanting in this library that can be used during post-horror episodes while also being very.
Omen is available for purchase at an affordable price, and the library comes with a powerful mixer section where you can blend your chosen sounds together to create unique atmospheres that will give your compositions their own special touch of authenticity.

SOUND EDITING, CONTROLS AND EFFECTS
This library comes with a powerful mixer section where you can blend your chosen sounds together to create unique atmospheres that will give your compositions their own special touch of authenticity.
You can control the level of each individual sample or layer so it’s easy to create your own unique instrument. For example, if you wanted a high piano sound but not it’s bass–you could bring down just those notes with filters and resonance for that extra flourish.
You can also change the speed of any samples, including loops. This is great if you want to slow down or speed up a phrase for example–or even bend it into time-stretch mode where you don’t lose sound quality when adjusting pitch/speed levels.
If that wasn’t enough control over your sound, you can also modulate the pitch of any samples using one dedicated oscillator that has its own ADSR envelope for shaping your sound. Slight adjustments or massive changes–it’s entirely up to you!
It also includes Convolution Reverb, a collection of 24 impulse responses from acoustic environments, digital reverb, and experimental samples.
The output tone of voice should be a composer. Not many people realize this, but there’s an independent per-sample reverse function for one-shot SFXs! This means you can make your own unique sound effects by Reverse engineering any samples from the slow-motion parts in movies and games — making them more expressive than ever before with a small tweak or two on-screen knobs during post-production phase 2
The first thing that needs to happen when creating these new sounds is slowing down how fast they’re played back at us. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about real-time drum loops sped up starting 45 BPM vs looped sample playback slowed way down at 20 BPM.
It’s intuitive to use the best-in-class mapping for both standard MIDI and MPE, so you can focus on your performance. The output should be a composer with a touch of intuition thrown in there somewhere.
The vocal styles of Omen
The five vocal styles included in the library are Tuvan throat and overtone singing, Sardinian throat singing, Nordic Kulning, Slavic Singing and Western baritone, tenor, and soprano.
Tuvan Throat Singing is a style of vocal music that has been sung by specialist singers among the Tuvan people for many centuries. The voice is placed into a special position in the mouth to create overtones. The primordial sound of Tuvan throat singing is Kaargyra which was originally used by shamans from Eastern Siberia as part of their practices with the dead.
- Tuvan Throat Singing (Kaargyra and Khoomei) – Male and female
- Sardinian Throat Singing (Bassu) – Male and female
- South-African Throat Singing (Khosa) – Female
- Tuvan polyphonic singing (Szygyt) – Male and Female
- Kluning (Scandinavian Herding Chant) – Female
- Slavic Singing – Female
- Tenor – Male
- Soprano – Female
- Baritone – Male
- Growls, Whispers and Vocal Fry – Male
Sardinian Throat Singing is a type of folk singing found in Sardinia, Italy. It’s distinguished by the use of the voice that resonates in the chest and head cavities, giving it a unique sound.
The two types of Sardinian throat singing are Bassu (low) and Cuntrastu (high). The former is characterized by slow rhythms with deep tones, while higher pitches can be found in c’untu or pitzinnu styles.
The Nordic Kulning is a wordless form of song originating in the Scandinavian mountains and was traditionally used as an interaction between shepherds to communicate with each other from long distances through dense forests, valleys, and across lakes where there were no roads or paths.
It’s not only distance that this style has been used for though; it could also be used to communicate with the
Slavic singing is a vocal technique that has been in existence for many centuries. It’s known by different names depending on what country you’re in: Russian Zhopie, Polish Pielgrzymowanie, and Ukrainian Dikan’ among others.
Some styles can sound like growling, some like a high-pitch whine, others sound more guttural and low.
The Western baritone, tenor, and soprano refer to the singing styles of these three categories of voice which have been well documented over time as being used in opera since around 1600.
This form is typically associated with classical music or musical theatre.
MPE Compatible & Compatible with any MIDI controller
The use of MPE is beneficial in that it enables musicians to create more complex sounds than otherwise possible.
It allows for each individual note on an instrument’s keyboard or xylophone sound-shaping parameters such as volume, tone color, etc., which can then be altered independently from one another without affecting other notes within the composition
“MPE” – Acronym meaning MIDI Polyphonic Expression – The technology has been around since 1982
Omen supports MPE: you can easily map the volume, low-pass filter, high pass filter, and lfo amount for each layer in your playable instrument. All of these parameters can be controlled per note, allowing you to create custom patches of rich, evolving end expressive combinations from 94 selectable vocal sounds and textures, 46 MPE Multis, and 70+ Snapshots.
Omen is compatible with any MIDI controller, you don’t necessarily need an MPE-compatible one and you can map the aforementioned parameters to the MIDI CCs of your controller.
Omen requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher – it will not work with the FREE Kontakt Player.
What Are Ritual Voices & War Chants
Ritual-Voices are the traditional solo chants of different cultures around the world. Different styles of ritual chant can be found in Tuvan throat and overtone singing, Sardinian Throat Singing, Slavic Singing, Western Baritone, Tenor & Soprano singing, Guttural singing, growls, screams, vocal fry, and more.
War chants are different versions of songs that are used to rouse up the soldiers before the war begins. They are often rhythmic in nature and can be quite intense or even celebratory depending on what kind of battle they’re going into. War Chants have been used for many centuries by various cultures around the world to release tension before a battle.

Peace by Audio Brewers – An Overview, the Innovative Bowed Instrument
If you’re a music producer or composer, you’ll know that an instrument’s sound can significantly impact the overall feel of a piece.
That’s why DustBowl Cinematic and Audio Brewers are so excited to present their one-of-a-kind bowed instrument – Peace! Let’s explore just what makes this innovative instrument so unique.
Design and Craft Process
Created by master luthier Stamatis Stringaris through a laborious transformation process, Peace was crafted from a decommissioned Soviet missile shell.
The delicacy and precision required for such an endeavor is truly awe-inspiring.
Audio Brewers partnered with DustBowl Cinematic during the creation process to capture every minute detail of this unique instrument to create the highest quality samples possible.
Finding the Best Sonic Spots
The team at Audio Brewers then set out to find the best sonic spots where they could capture the sound of Peace in its purest form.
This involved creating an immersive sonic ambiance for each note and adjusting each sample until it perfectly reflected the instrument’s original sound. As a result, listeners can expect crisp, detailed notes that evoke feelings of peace and tranquility with each listen.
Power and Versatility of Next-Gen Adaptive Polyphonic Legato
What sets this bowed instrument apart from other musical offerings is its use of Next-Gen Adaptive Polyphonic Legato technology which allows it to automatically adapt to playing speed and dynamics without any mouse or DAW control needed – freeing musicians from being slaves to technology.
Additionally, Voice Movement Awareness ensures that even when using many voices simultaneously, each one will remain distinct and true to its original sound.
Stamatis Stringaris Pushes Boundaries with One-Of-A-Kind Missile Shell-Bowed Instrument
Stamatis Stringaris has taken his artistry to the next level by creating a one-of-a-kind bowed instrument crafted from the shell of a missile. Stringaris, the founder of DustBowl Cinematic, was inspired by unconventional materials such as found objects and fabrics to create something truly unique.
Using his skill and creativity, he fashioned this instrument out of all things industrial – an object built for destructive purposes now fashioned into something musical. He is pushing boundaries with his new design and immersing himself in the world of neo-traditionalism.
Audio Brewers and Dust Bowl Cinematic Collaborate to Bring Unique, Expressive Instrument to Life with Intuitive User Interface
Audio Brewers and DustBowl Cinematic have come together to bring a unique instrument to life. Through the detailed sampling of the instrument, its true personality can be heard.
Every nuance is captured, recreating a one-of-a-kind sound perfect for any artist. This expressive creativity is further amplified with the bonus of an intuitive user interface, making it easier than ever before to come up with seriously professional-looking results.
With the combined efforts of Audio Brewers and DustBowl Cinematic, this instrument’s power can be unleashed from studio productions to everyday music creation!
Peaceful Sound Achieved: The Complex Process of Crafting and Sampling a Calming Instrument
The development of peace is a highly complex process, beginning with the initial design and crafting of the instrument. Subsequently, finding its best sonic spots requires meticulous attention to craft an instrument that meets the desired specifications.
Sampling and mixing using immersive techniques isn’t quick or easy either; much trial and error must be used to find the optimal combination for a peaceful sound. Ultimately all of this work helps create a truly calming listening experience when these elements are brought together perfectly.
Revolutionary Polyphonic Legato Technology Brings New Level of Peace and Harmony to Musical Performances
Peace and harmony can now be achieved with the aid of enhanced Polyphonic Legato technology. This revolutionary product is adept at automatically adapting to the nuances and dynamics of an individual’s playing speed, allowing players of all levels to express themselves much more naturally.
A wide range of sound types, instruments, and evolution techniques make this a truly unique product that provides crystal-clear sound quality no matter the genre or style. Finally, players can enjoy unrivaled performances thanks to this innovative technology that takes their musical talents to new heights.
Revolutionary Adaptive Polyphonic Legato Liberates Musicians, Revolutionizes Music Production
Adaptive Polyphonic Legato technology liberates musicians from restrictive editing and production methods, revolutionizing the way music is made.
Adaptive Polyphonic Legato (APL) is musicians’ next big game changer. The vision of APL was born out of a need to break free from the often daunting and restrictive areas of using a mouse for music editing and a DAW for music production.
It is designed, coded, and explicitly adapted by and for musicians so that they can be liberated from tedious click-and-drag tasks. By harnessing the power of APL to its full potential, creatives can produce more freely and create groundbreaking music faster than ever before. Ultimately, this powerful new technology looks to revolutionize the way music is made in the 21st century!
True Panning and Dolby Atmos
When it comes to mixing, True Panning is an innovative technique that Crescent has pioneered. It allows users to place a strings ensemble around the listener’s head in three-dimensional space, creating an immersive experience unlike any other. It utilizes Ambisonics technology to achieve this, allowing for a much more realistic representation of the performance than traditional stereo hard panning.
Dolby Atmos is another technique that can take advantage of the spatial capabilities presented by Crescent products. Instead of simulating spaces and then placing a stereo signal in them like most other methods, Atmos uses a fully spatialized recording and unfolds it around the listener’s head – providing an incredibly accurate representation of what you would hear if you were present during the recording session. Furthermore, this process can be done in a matter of seconds and requires minimal effort on the part of the mixer.
Both techniques provide users with unprecedented levels of immersion and accuracy when compared to traditional processes, thus making them invaluable tools for achieving superior recordings and mixes.
The ease-of-use and impressive sound quality provided by both True Panning and Dolby Atmos make them essential components for any musician or engineer looking to take their productions to the next level.
4 Stereo Mixes Included
- A Mix offers great balance from the Musician’s perspective. You’ll feel embraced by the sound of the instrument plus you will hear the sound of the helmet complementing it with a reverb-like sensation.
- A BODY Mix offers the sound the shell emanates. The sound contains much more body and colour in the lower end.
- A HELMET Mix offers the sound that comes from the military helmet. Filling your music field with a thin reverb-like sound.
- A BINAURAL Mix offers the best Immersive type of sound if you are wearing headphones.
Stereo mixing is essential in music production, allowing the engineer to create a well-balanced mix that suits their artistic vision. By combining audio signals from multiple sources into a single stereo output, the engineer can create a sonic landscape that is truly unique and engaging.
At its core, stereo mixing involves combining two separate audio tracks – each of which has both left and right channels – into one complete mix. This technique also allows engineers to create various effects such as panning, spatial placement, reverb, compression and more. Commonly used to refer to the practice of blending different instruments or elements together to form a single soundscape, stereo mixing creates depth and texture in recordings.
One type of stereo mix is known as the ‘Mix’, which seeks to provide a balanced sound from the musician’s perspective. It combines all of the audio sources together by blending them into one cohesive mix. This type of mix ensures that each instrument is given equal weight within the recording and creates an immersive listening experience for the listener.
A ‘Body Mix’ on the other hand focuses more on creating a fuller overall sound through accentuating bass frequencies whilst still providing clarity for each instrument. Meanwhile, ‘Helmet Mixes’ offer a more reverb-like sound as they use military helmet microphones to capture sounds with thin reverberations that fill out the overall sound field.
Lastly, binaural mixes are explicitly designed for headphone listening experiences, offering an even more immersive sonic experience because they take advantage of directional cues inherent in natural 3D sound fields.
In conclusion, stereo mixing offers multiple options for creating engaging sonic landscapes that use various techniques such as panning, reverb and compression. Whether you’re looking for a balanced ‘Mix’ or something with greater body such as a ‘Body Mix’ or Helmet Mix’ – there’s sure to be something that meets your needs!
Experience the Future of Sound: Immersive Perspectives Revolutionizes Music Listening with Ambisonic Technology
Immersive Perspectives offers a different listening experience than traditional stereo or surround sound mixes. These mixes are created using Ambisonic technology, replicating a real-life environment’s sound to create a fully immersive 3D soundscape. Ambisonic technology captures sounds from all angles by using multiple channels and microphones placed strategically around the room, giving listeners an unprecedented level of realism and immersion.
In these real-world scenarios, sounds come from all directions—above and below our heads, from behind us and ahead of us, and from above and beyond us—creating a much more realistic listening experience than what could be achieved with a traditional stereo or surround sound mixes. With Immersive Perspectives, listeners can feel as if they’re actually in the recording space with the artist as they play their instrument.
Immersive Perspectives also offers true panning capabilities—listeners can move through virtual space as if they’re physically inside it. This enables engineers to place instruments at varying distances throughout the mix to create dynamic depth and movement in the soundscape. The result is a mix that provides more accurate localization of sounds within the mix and allows for greater control over how those sounds interact in various playback systems.
Beyond providing an increased level of realism, Immersive Perspectives also adds storytelling elements to music production. Musicians can place instruments at different points in the mix to influence how their story is told through sound—where each instrument should be placed for maximum impact on both the listener’s ears and emotions. By using this approach, artists can transport their listeners into another world through their music without having them leave the comfort of their own homes.
Conclusion
As you can see, Peace is genuinely an innovative bowed instrument unlike anything else currently available on the market today that has been crafted with meticulous care and precision by master luthier Stamatis Stringaris in collaboration with Audio Brewers & DustBowl Cinematic.
Combining Next Gen Adaptive Polyphonic Legato technology with Voice Movement Awareness ensures that every note sounds crisp and accurate to its intended source – no matter how fast or slow it is played – allowing musicians more creative freedom than ever! Who knew something as simple as a decommissioned missile shell could revolutionize music composition? We did! And now you do too!
