vocal sounding oohs and aaahs... that sort of thing. ive been really busy and distracted from my music for the summer so im a bit behind.

cheers.

Try SampleTank http://www.sampletank.com

CronoX can do some cool stuff like that. It has a neat hybrid sampler/subtractive synth technique.

Absynth hands down. Hope you have a mac. It doesnt ooh and aah though.

I've been hearing great things about Absynth, can't wait for the PC version...

As for the Ahs and Oohs, they tend to be sampled anyway - Sampletank does have a generic synth choir patch (ie cliched and overused) that would give you the sound you're after, but I certainly wouldn't get ST for a few sounds... Maybe a similar sound could be achieved using an 'analogue' synth with some inventive filter settings. There's a way of getting convincing vocal sounds out of a simple analogue synth if you have access to 2 filters to run them together. I think you run a LP and a HP filter simultaneously, mirroring the cutoff (sort of mimicking the vocal chords' process) so when the high pass goes up, the low goes down, and vice versa. Even if I'm spouting complete nonsense, it'd be interesting. You could probably get Reaktor or Absynth (maybe?) to get this sort of sound.

Either that or get ST and use its crappy generic 'synth choir' patch!

Chris.

Your best bet is to get Halion and load in some of the excellent choir samples in Akai format. Or get some of the Vocal Planet stuff for a variety.

For your voices ooohs aaahs sounds i think the best way is to find some good samples or akai programs... they will available in my site soon...
OR
Get your Bitheadz Retro AS-1 VST... you can do with it all type of sounds you want: long modulated pads, orchestral hitting strings, fat basses, oldies keys synths and whatever you want ( even drums and special fx if you have ability in buildin your synth flow )... and you can use only this one vst for playing 16 channels multitimbral with 16 different presets... it has only one out in the mixer but if you have experience with harddisk recording you can turn around this limitation... try the demo and you will not forget it as others vst, hear me, i use it a lot producing all styles of music ( especially for oldies soundpads and basses )...

thanks for the replies, ill check out the various synths now. ive got Vsampler so ill go on a search for some samples.

have a nice day

I've just imported Peter Sziedlaczek's (or whatever his name is) Classical Choir akai cd into Halion and you get everything in there, down to two octaves of a choir saying ZZZZZZZZ. Highly recommended.

Another thumbs up for Absynth as well.

Cheers

Tim

I just love the good old M-Tron for Ohhhs and Ahhhhs and other things too
