Acorn – SottoVoce

Glass, Bowls & Crystal

• Thin wine-glass rims rubbed to produce shimmering sustained tones
• Fragile glass rods and plates bowed for high, brittle harmonics
• Crystal-like overtone layers with minimal resonance

Bowed & Friction Metals

• Soft bowing of metal sheets
• Gentle resonances from brass and steel bowls
• Friction-based tones with airy metallic hiss and controlled sustain
• Strings (Whisper-Level)
• Violin sul-tasto breathy sustains
• Cello harmonic whispers
• Ultra-soft bow noise mixed with faint overtones
• Bowed non-pitched artefacts and quiet tremble gestures

Air & Breath-Based

• Air through thin tubes producing faint, airy tone
• Female breathy voices and phrases in all keys mapped on high keys
• Soft breath-harmonic sustains (non-melodic)
• Fragile reed and whistle overtones

• Playable, expressive quiet tones. Each sound source is playable across the keyboard and offered in several split zones, giving you subtle pitch drift, organic imperfections, and natural movement.
• Round robin variants for realism. Even a single recorded octave gains life through multi-sample variations, preventing repetition and giving intimate tones a human feel.
• Multi-Layer Soundbox Engine. Blend up to four layers of fragile textures: combine bow whispers with glass sustains, or breath-tones with metal friction for a unique palette.
