Cantoria: A Melodic Masterpiece for Choir Simulation
Cantoria by Genuine Soundware offers an immersive and versatile choral experience, perfect for composers and musicians looking for realistic vocal layering.
GSi Cantoria is a physical modeling emulation of a Baroque-style Pipe Organ.
INSTRUMENT BACKGROUND
A pipe organ is a rare sight, with countless variations in stops, manuals, pipes, sizes, and positions. Cantoria embodies a Baroque-style organ featuring a single manual with 9 stops, 3 couplers, and the classic "tremulant" effect. With 776 pipes individually simulated, Cantoria offers dynamic versatility ranging from delicate flute-like tones to grand, resonant full-organ sonorities.
This synth engine combines additive synthesis and physical modeling without any sampled sounds, delivering a natural response to expression pedal input by modulating the airflow through the pipes.
Derived from the Italian term for the area in a church housing the organ and choir, "CANTORIA" is an apt name for this plugin.
Main features:
- Physical Modeling engine (no samples)

- 9 Organ Stops
- 3 Couplers
- Tremulant Motor
- Swell Pedal
- Built-in Stereo Reverb effect
- Built-in programmer with unlimited Programs
- Embedded user's manual
