A groundbreaking choir sample library embracing the raw, human essence of vocal performance. This is not your typical choir library; it’s an immersive experience that captures the authenticity of a group of real people singing together.
16 vocalists from a range of musical influences. A blended sound between the classical and the contemporary.
This is a set of incredible vocal performances that you can’t get anywhere else. Ready to breathe emotion into your scores, soundtracks and cinema-inspired music.
“Alt Choir will be a very useful library, nicely filling the holes in the many choir libraries that I own. I love the episodes, improvs, vowel slider, and moving intervals which lends it a real sense of realism.”
‘Episodes’ is our new feature created for Alt Choir. The Sopranos, Altos and Tenors each have their own harmonic part that work together in both key and tempo. A sound that flows around your the music you’ve made. Like our famed Improvisations, but on a whole new level.
Recorded in all 12 keys, both major and minor, all with different vowel sounds and dynamics. This feels like the vocalists and improvising around the music you’re playing.
Each of the four sections has two absolutely stunning legato articulations. Elegant and natural performances that flow like water. Both powerful and beautiful. The standard legato has a sustained and more stable sound. The Improvised legato carries a natural performance where all the vocalists are adding their own small moments of vibrato and dynamics.
From across the UK, we curated a chamber-sized choir of 16 vocalists arranged in 4 sections. With influences ranging from folk, pop and indie as well as more classically tuned voices. Whilst you can hear individual personalities in each of the sections, the sound is perfectly blended across the whole choir.
Arranged in the perfect semi-circle for this size of ensemble, we recorded everyone in situ for a balanced stereo image. Each of the sections was recorded in isolation, so you have complete control over the whole choir.
“The masters of sampling have done it again. Staggering, versatile and the Episodes patch is worth the ticket price alone. Human realism in virtual Instruments is such a rarity. Westwood have opened the realm to another world with this one. Irresistible.”
“At this rate I’m going to have to sell one of my kidneys so I can afford all the releases because this is absolutely amazing I love how you are pushing the boundaries with your libraries Rob I can honestly and safely say there is nothing on the market quite like what you are doing and its a breath of fresh air. Keep doing what you are doing Rob because this is amazing!”

“Sounds fantastic. I love the smaller size and raw intimacy, especially considering how so many choir libraries tend to go for a huge “epic” sound, so this fills a nice niche which I didn’t have before.”

“Well… you seem to have captured the humanness of the human voice for the first time I’ve ever experienced. The legatos and waves are simply magnificent. I can already imagine layering these over some of my other inferior (but much larger groups) libraries to add the humanity that they often (always) lack. This is truly great work. Congratulations.”

“I have no need for a new library. But Westwood, holy effing sh*te! Absolutely stunning. You’ve forced my hand! I’m not buying this by choice, you’re making me!”

“This library is jaw droppingly good. I played with it during my lunch hour. I didn’t want to go back to working my day job. LOL”

“Got it this morning. Played for a while and it is just wonderful to experiment with – out of the box, without any menial work, it is easily the most playable choir library I have ever tried. Absolutely love the sound too.
Well done! ❤️”

Included in the library is a whole instrument of synth-like sounds. We took the mountains of source recordings from the original sessions to create these 12 unique sounds. They all still have the soul we captured in the studio, but have been transformed into something completely different. Wrapped up in a custom interface so you can mix them into something that’s yours.
“Many choir sample libraries I’ve tried before impressed me with their realism and expression, but Alt Choir brings something new and exciting to the table. It’s the quintessential library for expressive choir textures—modern, alive, and creative—standing out from traditional virtual choir instruments. Alt Choir brings a breath of fresh air to my music.”
