Favorite synth-choir poll

Wavetable choir is my favorite synth-choir.
I have a partiality for Micro Q's alt wave 2.
It's vivid and weird wave.

and I like mellotron choir after Wavetable choir.

The Mellotron Choir never ceases to make me wobble and tremble at the knees.
My ION can produce a reasonable effort with a bit of tweaking though! 8)

the first time i listened to a korg 05R/W choir sound it brought a lump to my throat.

admittedly this was back in 1995 but i still love that sound. 8)

Best choir I've heard is the Korg 03/W Supervoice preset. It sounds so alive and warm. Amazing to play huge chords with, you feel like you're in a cathedral with a whole choir on your hands, specially with a good reverb. And none of them sings out of tune

I've even used it to double a female vocalists singing live, and people were looking around to see the second vocalist. It's just an Aaaah sound but she was singing aaaaaah aswell.

"FM choir" ?

I don't think it's fair for the Fairlight to not be included in this.

Sorry, can't vote. You forgot the Vako Orchestron. Can't do Radio-Aktivität without it...

It kind of is- all those Korg choirs are reduced size samples of the series III factory choir, which is a great sound. I don't know the official name of it, I have it from the Art of Noise sample CD. Loads of the Korg rompler sounds are from the Fairlight.

The PPG Wave choir is fab, very like the Roland VP330 choir- both lovely I think.

The Orchestron choir is great, and it's not a million miles away from the Mellotron male choir- dead people singing

The Casio VZ-1 has the best subtractive synth-style choir IMO. It sounds very much like the OB expander choir, only better. It's made with FM though

I voted the Mellotron Choir, I have Mtron, I think Choir3 is my main one I use. Also like the scanned choir from the PPG..and as said before the VP330 choir with the ensemble on (I think John Foxx used it alot on The Garden..he called it something like "XXXX host".

I also quite like the male choir that came with Kompakt.

That's right, John Foxx did use the VP-330 for the choral sounds on "The Garden" and "Pater Noster". He was apparently into Carl Orff at the time.

I voted for rompler choirs. I like those on Ensoniq ESQ-1 after some tweaking.

I adore the DX FM choirs too. I think FM and Wavetable should go together as they sound very similar.

I went with the Mellotron--I'm a big Genesis fan, what can I say?

For me, there's something particularly haunting about the Mellotron choir samples. I'm nostalgic about the Fairlight vox sounds as well.
