UPDATES INCLUDE
All New Phonemes
New vowels and consonants added for increased realism, with the ability to stretch or compress individual phonemes as desired.
Frequency Dependent Consonants
Non-pitched consonants now sampled with high and low frequency variations.
Global Phoneme Balance
Vowels, Pitched Consonants and Non-Pitched Consonants have volume sliders that allow you to adjust the relative balance between phonemes.
Independent Handling
All consonants that fall at the end of a word are now handled independent of those that begin a word, resulting in more realistic delivery of words.
Consonant Volume Scaling
WordBuilder detects the number of notes in a chord and applies volume scaling to consonants to ensure they remain at an intelligible level.
Alternative Takes of Non-Pitched Consonants
Instead of using a traditional 'round robin' system that cycles through alternative takes, often leading to inconsistent results, you can define which alternative take sounds best and Hollywood Choirs will use that across every phrase.

Neutrik connectors are a nice quality as expected.
The extra effort made by Koala to ensure the connectors made it to Western Australia quickly was really appreciated, thankyou.
