Choir voice: old and new

One short phrase in E♭ major, sung by the old voice and by the new one. Press Play and flip between them while it sings. Headphones help.

Which voice you hear

The new voice is set to the old voice’s level, so louder never wins by accident.

New voice, one property at a time

Change one thing and listen. While it plays, the phrase starts again with the change. The old voice keeps its own settings and only follows the vowel, as far as it knows it (oo, oh, ah).

Kind

Six characters of the new voice, all equally loud. Choir is the default.
