Choir plugin

meneedit · Post by **meneedit** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 7:17 am

a few weeks back I was going to switch from Fruityloops to Cubase but I ended up sticking with Fruityloops.

anyway, when a friend of mine gave me a demo of Cubase he showed me a plugin which had some really really nice choir sounds on it. In fact these type of choir sounds are ones that I have been after for a long time.

I can't remember what the plugin looked like because he showed me ages ago but it had lots of different HQ sounds.

Can somebody please name some plugins that have choir sounds in order for me to find it?

P.S

Most people say that you have to work with sampled choirs but if you listen to ATB's "Kayama", the choir sounds very synthetic.

The choir sound heard in "Kayama" is one that I would love to get my hands on

check out here.another forum was talking about this under technical

http://www.assemblage23.com/frameset.html

I highly recommend East West's Symphonic Choirs. They sound absolutely fantastic, and it comes with a 'word builder' app to create your own phrases.

(I drove my wife nuts with it the weekend I installed it. After half an hour of experimenting, I ended up with "Star wars, nothing but star wars")

Sample Tank2 XL had some good ones for both female and male choirs. I used the female ones for a verse and chorus and people thought it was a real person singing. The East West's Symphonic Choirs that Charles recomended I have not heard but everyone I have talked to about their products has very possitive feedback

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you can find it, I also recommend Universal Sound Bank's "Vol. 28, Acoustic and Synth Choirs". I bought it for like $20 back in the Failure days (it provides the choir on 'King of Insects'). It's harder to find nowadays and is a bit pricier, but the acoustic choirs are really good, and the synth ones are cool for pads. And even with it being a bit pricier, it's still cheaper than most standard sample CDs. (It contains both an audio CD with the raw samples, and an Akai format disc with all the full programs/looped samples premade for you).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also like Sonik Synth2 from the same people who do Sample tank.
It is kind of a big soft sampler with a huge library of cool stuff including Mellotrons and Chamberlin choir samples. This software is being used by Genesis on their current tour.

whoah... dude... thanks so much for the big-a*s reply, I appreciate it so much!

I'll check those things out.

However, I want to be able to build my own chords like ATB did in kayama instead of using pre-recorded chords.

is this possible in any of the things you mentioned?

thanks heaps 8) 8) 8)
