Simple Opera Singer
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Simple Opera Singer! This manual explains how to use
our library. Additional information is available on our website. Enjoy,
FluffyAudio Development Team.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 10. Intel or Silicon Mac and Mac OS 10.5 or higher. 4 GB System Ram, 4 GB free on the main system drive for installation (2 GB when installed). The full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.1 or above is required.
DISCLAIMER: DEMO Mode, Kontakt Player, Native Access
Please note that Simple Opera Singer doesn’t need a serial code nor can be added with Native Access. Thus, it doesn’t run on the free Kontakt Player. For the same reason, FluffyAudio libraries do not appear in the left browser of Kontakt. Only Kontakt Player encoded libraries do appear in the left panel. If you get a DEMO timeout message after 15 minutes of use, this means that you are running Simple Opera Singer in Kontakt Player and not in Kontakt Full Version. To know more about the differences between NI Kontakt Player and NI Kontakt Full Version check out our FAQ. For any issue, suggestion, tips, and tricks or to know more about Simple Opera Singer do not hesitate to contact us at support (at) fluffyaudio.com.
INSTRUMENTS
There are three versions of Simple Opera Singer, all with the same articulations:
- Simple Opera Singer – Normal Legato (MW Dyn), modwheel controls the dynamics;
- Simple Opera Singer – Fast Legato (MW Dyn), modwheel controls the dynamics but gives the possibility to play faster legato;
- Simple Opera Singer – Legato Control (MW Legato Speed), modwheel controls the legato speed;
Fast Legato and Legato Control (mod wheel all way up) patches allow performing faster legato phrases. This is done by time-stretching the first seconds of the legato transition at the expense of a higher CPU and RAM usage.
