About The Voicebank:
The official release of the new THEIA OG03 voicebank is finally here! THEIA OG03 MONARCH is an all-in-one Japanese VCV Voicebank that possesses both Multi-pitch and Multi-expression voices.
This Voicebank has three timbres that are 4 pitches each (Contralto, F3~A4), making MONARCH a total of 12 VCVs. The three timbres can be used all in one track by utilizing the SuffixBroker. MONARCH’s three expressions are:
- “Chrysallis”: Normal voice
- “Iridescent”: Gentle/soft voice
- “Ultraviolet”: Solid/power voice
THEIA OG03 MONARCH also has some fun add-ons, including several breaths (intake and outtake), western L notes (all timbres, all pitches), two Growl CV banks (Mono-pitch, one higher register and one lower), Vocal Fry (sounds best used with Stoic/Mellow, 4 pitch), and Glottal Stops (all timbres, all pitches).
USING MONARCH: APPENDS

Making Growl More Powerful:
