UJAM Symphonic Elements Chooir: Hans Zimmer's Custom Vocal Palette in a Single VST
UJAM has officially released Symphonic Elements Chooir, the long-awaited vocal expansion to their cinematic orchestration series, constructed using exclusive samples drawn directly from the private library of film composer Hans Zimmer.
Quick Take
- Built entirely from custom choral recordings conducted by Hans Zimmer for his multi-million dollar film scores.
- Uses a macro engine to execute complete vocal textures, removing the need for voice-by-voice tracking or tedious word programming.
- Features dedicated performance modules covering bass, tenor, alto, soprano, and boys choral sections.
- Integrates UJAM’s signature Finisher and Character dials for real-time spectral morphing and cinematic polish.
- Available for VST3, AU, and AAX formats | Currently 24% off until Jun. 28 on Plugin Boutique.
The inclusion of a vocal module has been the single most requested addition to UJAM’s symphonic lineup.
Symphonic Elements Chooir completes the arrangement engine alongside their existing string, brass, drum, and percussion tools. Unlike traditional classical choir libraries that focus on forensic syllable editing, Chooir utilizes pre-arranged, phrase-based performances that automatically follow the incoming MIDI chord structure. This lets producers build massive, Hollywood-style walls of vocal energy instantly.
The internal software DSP engine features 70 distinct playing styles and 100 mix-ready presets categorized into Basic, Epic, and Atmospheric Textures.
The underlying programming manages complex articulation changes under the hood, seamlessly shifting between sustained vowel blocks and sharp consonant attacks based on velocity and modulation wheel values.
According to UJAM co-founder Peter Gorges, the goal was to eliminate the mechanical, robotic sound that often plagues digital vocal synthesis, giving electronic musicians direct access to natural human movement.
The Real Talk
Let us be honest about traditional choir plugins: they are usually workflow killers. Spending hours programming individual phonemes and keyswitches just to get a background pad sounding convincing is exhausting.
UJAM bypasses that headache entirely by making this an arrangement tool first. Because the source material is lifted straight from Hans Zimmer’s personal vault, the raw tone has that expensive, wide cinematic sheen right away.
It is not designed for detailed solo vocal lines, but if you need an instant, driving choral arrangement to sit beneath an action cue or an electronic sub-bass, this is an incredibly efficient solution.
