UJAM introduces Symphonic CHOOIR plugin based on Hans Zimmer’s orchestral library

Music technology company UJAM has announced a new orchestral plugin, Symphonic Elements CHOOIR, providing access to choral sounds created in collaboration with Hans Zimmer’s orchestral library.

The latest addition to the Symphonic Elements series, CHOOIR joins STRIIIINGS, DRUMS, BRAASS, and PERRCS, adding a new vocal element to the lineup.

CHOOIR follows UJAM’s Symphonic Elements approach by offering pre-arranged textures that sit naturally within an arrangement spanning bass, tenor, soprano and boys ensembles with a range of vowel and consonant articulations. Its phrase-based structure enables users to generate choir performances without complex key switching or word programming.

It offers Signature Motion, Character and Finisher controls for sound shaping, and features 70 styles and 100 presets across nine categories, including basic, epic and atmospheric textures.

​Symphonic Elements CHOOIR supports VST2, VST3, AU2, and AAX formats and is compatible with macOS and Windows operating systems.

It is available to preorder from April 28th until May 12th, at $149 (£110.39) and will be offered at introductory prices between May 13th and June 28th.

UJAM was co-founded by Hans Zimmer and Pharrell Williams with the goal of making music technology more accessible and encouraging more people to make music.

“A choir has been the number one request from our users, to a degree that it became an in-joke. I’m so happy we could finally close this gap,” said Peter Gorges, co-founder of UJAM. “Since this is based on Hans’s own material, users will quickly hear that familiar cinematic palette he’s known for come through in their own work.”
