First Look: Charisma Vol 1 by Impact Soundworks

Beautiful vocal phrases in several different moods
The same phrase is recorded in four different keys so no over extended pitch shifting
Great instrument design
On board effects and controls are effective
The playable instruments are a welcome addition
Elizabeth's voice is so beautiful, a legato instrument would be brilliant! At this low price point, that is understandable though
Created in conjunction with the wonderfully talented opera vocalist Elizabeth Zarhoff, Impact Soundworks has once again proven that a smaller, lightweight instrument can be just what the composer on the go needs. With beautiful phrases and instant cinematic vocals, Charisma is worthy of a place in any composer’s toolkit.

First Look: Charisma Vol 1 by Impact Soundworks
Charisma is a new phrase-based vocal library from versatile developers, Impact Soundworks.
While there are a plethora of vocal instruments on the market, releasing a new range such as Charisma could easily slip under the radar. Yet, with a voice so beautiful as Elizabeth’s to work with, the instrument is built on solid foundations.
Add great instrument design, the ability to micro-tune, and a whole host of options and effects, and Charisma goes from a great lightweight vocal instrument to an effective and diverse.
In the mix, it sounds brilliant and through its simplicity, it really shines. It just shows, with great performances and great design, that’s all you need in an instrument. Charisma is highly recommended to anyone who needs some great-sounding operatic vocals for their compositions. Another great library from Impact Soundworks.
