Oceania 是一个用于主题创作的合唱素材库。它基于各种演奏素材构建，注重即兴性、活力和音节的连贯性。其核心功能是能够处理乐句长度和演奏速度的变化。

48 位歌手（24 位女歌手和 24 位男歌手，分别录制）
10 个音节
真重复采样
两种版本，多种控制选项
录制于大厅，设有两个麦克风位置（近音和远音）
48kHz / 24bit
NCW 压缩，总大小约 2.1GB
主要功能
动态 CC：选择控制音量的 CC。

平滑动态：使音域均匀，使所有音高保持相似的音量，而不是随着音域越高音调自然而然地变大。此按钮使音色整体更安静，因为它会根据低音的音量调整高音的音量，而不是相反。

KS Root：设置 Keyswitch 模块的根音调。音色库中预设了一个音节序列，除非您使用 Keyswitch 覆盖该序列，否则音色库会循环播放该序列。Keyswitch 模块允许您移动到特定的音节，然后序列将从该音节开始。其主要用途是某些乐句可能与音节序列的特定部分更匹配。您还可以使用此 Keyswitch 模块在乐段开头重置 RR，以及对齐男性和女性部分之间的音节。

释放模式：每个音节有两种释放方式：正常释放和"-s"释放。因此，对于每个"eeh"释放，您也有一个"eehs"释放。"-s"释放可以根据您编写的乐句帮助音节之间的过渡。手动力度是指力度决定释放类型。正常释放为 1-99，而"-s"释放为 100-127。如果您在释放音符时按住延音踏板，手动延音踏板会触发"-s"音符。建议的模式会触发特定的预定音节作为"-s"音符释放。这些模式非常适合最初构思。然后，为了使"-s"音符释放特定于您想要的音符，请打开手动力度模式并编辑力度，或者打开手动延音踏板模式并进行"延音踏板传递"。

正常/8va/8vb：允许您从同一位置触发上/下八度。当您想同时演奏男性和女性的midi音轨，并将男性音轨降低八度时，这很有用。

弯音轮：此功能用于收紧/放松释放。将弯音轮调至顶部可使释放时间更长。将弯音轮调至底部可使释放时间更短（更紧）。

采样延迟
您会注意到采样中有一些延迟。主音色的延迟约为80毫秒。只需将 MIDI 音轨设置为 -80 毫秒即可。采样素材已进行定时，因此您可以进行量化，并且 -80 毫秒的音轨延迟将使其与节拍一致。Shouts 音色的延迟时间更长（以适应所有音节），而且它们彼此之间也进行了定时同步。

样机制作技巧
Oceania 音色库可以通过 MIDI 编辑实现诸多功能，例如 KS 音节覆盖以及在合适的位置添加"-s"释放。此外，该音色库能够响应不同的 MIDI 音符长度，因此您可以发挥创意，创作出清晰的乐句。有时，还可以通过现场演奏进行"弯音"，以增强清晰度（例如，在粗体、慢速乐句中使释放更松散）。

音色库限制
Oceania 音色库中的延音踏板无法用于延音——它仅用于触发"-s"释放（在正确模式下）。
不要重叠重复音符——这会触发前一个音符的释放，而不是当前音符的释放。
如果您恰好独奏了某个麦克风位置，然后保存了音色，那么当您重新打开它时，静音麦克风的音量旋钮将显示"-inf"（无论其实际音量是多少），即使您取消了另一个麦克风的独奏。只需按住 Shift 键并双击"-inf"旋钮即可准确显示该值。

Oceania is a choir library for thematic writing. It's built from a variety of performance-sourced assets which cater to spontaneity, energy, and syllable cohesion. Part and parcel is the ability to handle variation in phrase length and playing speed.

48 singers (24 women and 24 men, recorded separately)
Ten syllables
True repetition sampling
Two types of releases with multiple control options
Recorded in a hall with 2 mic positions (close and far)
48kHz / 24bit
NCW-compressed, ~2.1 GB total
Main Functions
Dynamic CC: choose the CC which controls volume.

Flatten Dynamics: evens out the range so that all of the pitches are a similar volume, rather than getting naturally louder the higher you play in the register. This button makes the patches quieter overall since it adjusts the higher notes relative to the volume of the lower notes, rather than vice versa.

KS Root: sets the root key of the keyswitch block. The library has a predetermined syllable sequence which it will cycle through unless you override with keyswitching. The keyswitch block allows you to move to specific syllables, where the sequence will then proceed from. The primary use for this is that some phrases may work better with a particular portion of the syllable sequence. You can also use this keyswitch block for RR resets at the beginning of your passages, and to align the syllables between the men and women sections.

Release Modes: For every syllable, you have two types of releases: normal and "-s." So for every "eeh" release, you also have an "eehs" release. The "-s" releases can help transition between syllables based upon the phrases you write. Manual Velocity means velocity determines the release type.. 1-99 for normal and 100-127 for "-s." Manual Sus Pedal triggers "-s" if you hold down the sustain pedal during release. The Suggested modes trigger specific predetermined syllables as "-s" releases. These modes are good for getting ideas in initially. Then in order to have "-s" releases specifically triggering on the notes you want, turn on the Manual Velocity mode and edit your velocities, or turn on the Manual Sus Pedal mode and do a "sustain pedal pass."

Normal/8va/8vb: allows you to trigger an octave up/down from the same position. Useful for when you want to arm both your men and women midi tracks and play them together with the men an octave down.

Pitch Bend Wheel: this functions to tighten/loosen the releases. Bring up the wheel to the top to make the releases a bit longer. Bring the wheel down to make them shorter (tighter).

Sample Delay
You'll notice some delay in the samples. The Main patches have ~80 ms of delay. Simply set your MIDI track settings to -80 ms. The sample assets are timed, so you can quantize and with -80ms track delay it will be on the beat. The Shouts patch has a longer delay (to accommodate all the syllables), and once again, they are all timed to each other.

Mockup Tips
A lot can be squeezed out of Oceania with MIDI editing, specifically for KS syllable overrides and adding in "-s" releases where they fit well. Furthermore, this library is reactive to varying MIDI note lengths, so you can achieve articulated phrases by getting creative with that. Also it's sometimes worth doing a "pitch bend pass" with some live riding for additional articulation shaping (i.e. making the releases looser on bold, slower phrases).

Library Limitations
The sustain pedal doesn't work to sustain notes in Oceania – it solely functions to trigger "-s" releases (when in the correct mode).
Don't overlap repeating notes – it will trigger the previous notes' release, not the current notes' release.
If you happen to solo a mic position and then save the patch, when you re-open it, the muted mic's vol. knob will display "-inf" (regardless of its actual vol.), even if you un-solo the other mic. Simply double-click the "-inf" knob while holding shift in order to accurately display the value.
