Occult Audio Vestral Voices v1.1.0 KONTAKT VST3 AU
Recorded within the reverberant stone walls of St Michael’s Church, Vestral Voices is a vocal instrument built around two distinct worlds. Light presents the voices in their purest form — intimate, breath-filled, and reverent. Dark transforms those same performances through processing, degradation, and reconstruction, creating sounds that feel distant, fractured, and increasingly unnatural.
The result is a vocal instrument designed not for traditional performance, but for atmosphere, tension, and emotional weight.
Two worlds
At the centre of Vestral Voices lies a simple concept: every sound contains its opposite. Move between delicate choral textures and corrupted vocal shadows, layer purity against degradation, and create evolving performances that drift between the sacred and the unsettling — now pushed even further with the onboard granular engine and Movement blending.
Light
The voices in their purest form — intimate, breath-filled, and reverent.
Dark
Those same performances transformed through processing, degradation, and reconstruction — distant, fractured, increasingly unnatural.
Recorded in St Michael’s Church
Every source recording was captured inside St Michael’s Church, allowing the natural acoustics of the space to become part of the instrument itself.
The reflections, resonance, and lingering decay of the church remain embedded within every sample, providing a sense of scale and atmosphere before any additional processing takes place.
Sustains, drones, and textures
The library is built around three core categories of material.
Sustains
Held vocal performances rich in breath, movement, and harmonic detail. Available in both Light and Dark variations.
Drones
Long-form evolving layers designed to create tension, atmosphere, and emotional depth.
Textures
Reversed, manipulated, and reconstructed vocal performances transformed into sprawling ambiences and tonal soundscapes.
Additional samples have been recorded across both the Light and Dark collections, extending the usable pitch range throughout.
Built for the update
A granular engine for deeper sculpting
The same granular engine built for Splintered Violin, opening the Light and Dark performances up to real-time manipulation — grain size, density, detune, pitch, position, and spread, shaped through a full envelope and its own dedicated reverb and delay. What were once fixed recordings become raw material for entirely new, evolving textures.
Movement: blending sample and grain
A new Movement engine sits between the original sample playback and the granular engine, letting you blend continuously between the two — from the untouched voice recording through to a fully granulated, evolving texture — by hand or driven by the onboard motion control.
Brand new convolution IRs
A brand new set of impulse responses has been added to the convolution reverb, bringing fresh spaces and responses to the instrument — from intimate rooms to vast, cinematic environments.
Brand new presets
A whole new set of presets has been built specifically to take advantage of the Movement and granular engines, alongside the existing preset library.
Built for transformation
Custom reverbs — now including the brand new convolution IRs — provide everything from intimate spaces to vast cinematic environments. Drive and Tone controls introduce warmth, grit, and degradation, while filtering and dynamics processing offer further control over the final character of the sound. The granular engine and Movement system add a further layer of transformation on top, letting you sculpt and blend the Light and Dark performances into entirely new territory.
Whether used subtly or pushed into abstraction, the focus remains the same: transformation through atmosphere.

The familiar distortions of a venerable British console circuit, fundamentally revoiced to mitigate its boxy resonances. The result: a weighty bottom end, distinctly steely highs, and low mids that remain solid until they flatten into a familiar, compact thwack. The overall effect is sonic déjà vu: direct, thick, and unmistakably rock and roll, without the clank that spoiled the fun.
As Intensity increases, Model N reorganizes the low end, tucking the fundamental just beneath its second harmonic. The result is warm, fat bass that speaks louder but eats up less space in the mix. Driven harder, it produces the unmistakable sound of an oddly specific percentage of the snares recorded during the early and mid-1970s
Key Features:
HPF/LPF Filters attached to a handy XY control for blended tone focusing.
Blend and Makeup filters also in an XY control configuration for gestural tweaking of the output mix.
Updated Saturation and EQ filters compared to the original.

smart:EQ 4 is an intelligent EQ that analyzes your audio material and uses AI to equalize it in order to correct spectral problems and achieve tonal balance.
The innovative tool also works across channels and offers hierarchical control over multiple tracks through automatic spectral mixing. Unlike conventional EQs that leave the context of a mix out of any processing, smart:EQ 4 pushes towards a holistic approach. For an optimized workflow, multiple instances of smart:EQ 4 can even be remotely controlled from a single plug-in window, allowing to always keep the bigger picture in mind when mixing.
The intelligent equalizer smart:EQ, the powerhouse in sonible’s suite of AI-assistive tools, has become a staple for audio producers the world over. Its unique smart:filter spectrally balances tracks in seconds and makes spectral mixing a simple matter of dragging and dropping alongside other tracks in a group. With smart:EQ 4, sonible has heightened the equalizer’s versatility as well as added new control features.
smart:EQ offers hierarchical control over multitrack unmasking processes, and for version 4, any instance with in the same group can be controlled from any other instance. The plugin’s AI-powered Profiles have also been enhanced and expanded: choose one of the new genre-based Mix Profiles or import a reference track, and smart:EQ will now be able to use these as targets for your track’s character.
The core smart:filter within each EQ instance has now been boosted with a Smoothing parameter for gentler filtering. Standard EQ bands can now perform as a Dynamic EQ with familiar compressor-style controls. An Auto Gain function to compensate for level adjustments has also been added.
Top-down or Bottom-up Mixing
The traditional way to mix a project, starting with individual elements and building a mix piece-by-piece, is the bottom-up method for mixing music. This tried-and-tested approach is still possible in smart:EQ 4, with simple control over the character of each channel of a mix thanks to the plugin’s spectral shaping, but another tactic is possible as well. In Group mode, you can define the mix from the top down, creating an unmasking hierarchy between up to 10 instances of smart:EQ. This set priorities for each smart:filter, bringing some elements to the forefront of the sonic stage, leaving some in the middle, and pushing some into the background. smart:EQ 4’s smart:filter can be used in three modes: ‘Track’ balances the channel; ‘Group’ doesn’t affect the channel but reduces masking between it and other group members;
‘Track and Group’ applies balancing to the channel and makes it subject to unmasking.
AI-powered smart:filter Take on New Profiles
The smart:filter is the centerpiece of smart:EQ, balancing the signal based on a target Profile such as drums, bass, vocals or the default Universal Profile. smart:EQ 4 has new Mix Profiles trained on entire mixes from specific genres.
A new Reference Profile feature allows you to load an entire finished track or individual instrument and have smart:EQ 4 emulate its character and balance on your channel or buss.
‘Remote Control’ for Spectral Mixing
In version 4 you don’t just see how other smart:EQ instances within the same group are reacting– you can view their behavior and change their parameters from any single instance with in the same group. In ‘Group View’, two entire EQ curves can be selected before being edited on-screen, and all instances can have profiles selected and analyzed.
In-depth control in Track View
In ‘Track View’ , the current instance takes priority, but the group properties and placements are still accessible and can be changed. In addition to the smart:filter, smart:EQ’s regular EQ bands now sport dynamic behavior, with Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release and Range controls. These regular EQ bands can be used alongside or instead of the main smart:filter bands for any instance of smart:EQ 4.
Features
smart:filter technology offers spectral balance on single tracks/busses/entire mixes and intelligent cross-channel processing between instances
Spectral mixing via drag & drop– Group view for creating an unmasking hierarchy of up to ten tracks
‘Remote control’ of EQ for multiple tracks in any instance with in the same Group
Wide range of profiles for instruments, speech and entire mixes by genre
Create custom profiles from reference tracks
Dynamic controls for regular filters with Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release controls
Selectable processing mode for the smart:filter ( Track, Group, Track & roup)
Auto Gain , Comprehensive M/S processing, smart states,…
sonible’s development approach has long used AI to achieve two goals: maximum precision in processing tailored to any audio material and the design of new, more intuitive workflows that go beyond what has been possible so far. Combining data-driven analysis with real-world mixing expertise, sonible’s design philosophy “Sonic Intelligence” unites technical accuracy, intuitive usability, and a distinctly human creative workflow.
Musical intention over plain numbers
In smart:comp 3, this design philosophy comes to life in the new Compression Matrix, a system that sharply reduces trial and error in compression. The tool achieves this by visualizing a spectrum of viable compressor settings derived from the input signal’s characteristics. This gives users immediate insight into how far the material can be shaped in terms of its dynamic range. Instead of generating a single suggested setup, the plug-in maps out a field of possible configurations that can be explored in real time and lets users approach compression in ways that align with common musical intentions and terminology.
smart:comp 3 also extends its functionality to group processing. Multiple instances can be linked and controlled together for consistent compression across several tracks.
Like its predecessor, smart:comp 3 uses sonible’s spectral compression technology to distribute high-resolution gain reduction across the frequency spectrum in real time. This approach maintains clarity and balance while avoiding the need for manual multiband setup.
Features
Compression Matrix: Displays a range of compressor settings and allows smooth transitions between different compression characters.
Compression Scope: Visualizes the viable compression range of the analyzed signal.
Group Mode: Links multiple plug-in instances for shared control of threshold, ratio, attack, release, and mix. Enables batch adjustments from a single interface.
Zero-latency Mode: Minimum-phase processing for live use and recording with no delay. Linear-phase mode remains available for mixing and post-production.
Refined Input Riding: Stabilizes level variations prior to compression.
Enhanced Style Control: Updated compression engines with defined attack and release behavior and refined saturation characteristics.
