We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of HONOS OG04 ELITE. Designed as an extension of her beloved original voice, this upgrade takes her capabilities to new heights.
The Same Captivating Tenor Voice
ELITE preserves the deep tenor voice that sets HONOS apart. With her remarkable masculine and feminine ranges, she continues to be a standout choice among the OGIENOIDs for all ends of the spectrum.
Expanding Timbral Capabilities
Much like the release of KASAI OG01 SALIENT, ELITE builds upon the three distinct timbral capabilities of HONOS OG04. ELITE upgrades each of them to multipitch capabilities. Each timbre now possesses four unique pitches, resulting in a total of 12 individually recorded VCVs. This expanded range unlocks exciting new possibilities!
Elevating Creative Expression
This expansion also includes two CV-style growl banks in different registers. The high growl suits screamo and pop-punk, while the low growl suits metal and rock genres. These growl banks add a new layer of texture and intensity in your tuning.
Furthermore, ELITE features brand-new glottal stop and vocal fry samples, adding rich emotion to enhance your tuning.
Seamless Compatibility
Rest assured, this expansion and upgrade seamlessly integrates with both UTAU and OpenUtau, ensuring a smooth transition for existing projects, effortlessly incorporating ELITE’s enhanced voicebank. Like HONOS OG04 Original, the appends (Mellow and Firm) possess the same Suffixes OGIENOID users have grown accustomed to.
An Upgraded Look!
To match her voice upgrade, HONOS also went through a visual tune-up. Her new design draws inspiration from the iconic outfit she wore for her original voicebank, maintaining a connection to her roots while adding a fresh and exciting zap of color and energy. Get ready to be captivated by her striking new appearance!
Toward The Future, With HONOS
Stay tuned for more updates and demos that showcase HONOS’s long-awaited upgrade! Like KASAI OG01 SALIENT, a tutorial for ELITE will be available upon release. HONOS OG04 ELITE debuts this July!
