It plays best in the low ranges since it is a boys choir after-all. Please post any variants you may come up with.

Wierd that people here have been mentioning bells and vocal sounds on Zebra - those are the main two I've been working on recently. Here's an example of two vocal sounds:

An inquiry of my dog concerning the missing vocalists has yielded the following:

I have just been toying around with your awesome tool and cutting up some soundfont samples! I have created my first choir attempt for Zebra2 and it doesn't sound too bad :) Certainly a lot closer than most other synths I've tried imho.

LOVE that sound...

So... how exactly did you do this?

Amazing! I love it! There's something gothic sounding about it, quite haunting actually :)

Well here was how I went about creating this sound...

1) I grabbed one of the wave files from the free Choir Aahs soundfont and chopped up 14 single cycle waveforms from the wave file
2) I then used jupiter8's tool to convert them to a wavetable for Zebra2
3) I then selected the most choir sounding wavetable of them all, and added ensemble effects (unison, chorus) and reverb. In addition, I added some movement to the wavetable via a slow LFO, just so the sound morphs constantly.
4) At this point I wasn't satisfied it sounded enough like a choir, so I created a VCF formant filter in one of the lanes and tweaked until I got it sounding more like a choir, the result of this was mixed with the main sound. Also I added EQ, boosting the appropriate frequencies to emphasize the choir sound further.

Hope that helps :)

I should probably rename the title of this thread shouldn't I :hihi:

Hey jupiter, I have a few requests for the wav tool if you would consider them...

1) The Clear All Cells button doesn't seem to work correctly
2) Can you possibly make the program remember all options that can be set in the "Preferences" menu

Thanks a lot :)

There's a new version that i believe fixes the clear all cells.

Revisited the code today and there was an embarrasing amount of bugs in that code. :oops:
Stupid newbie errors like i switched the source and target when i copied data.

I could'nt get the keyboard shortcut to work. I noticed it was CTRL-C which is system default for copy so i just tried CTRL-D instead and it worked fine. Not sure if that combination is reserved for the system but it works.

Regarding 2) i doubt that but maybe i'll look into it one day. There's like one thing to change so i don't quite see the big deal. I believe the preferences are quite an ugly hack so it could take some doing to implement this. I'm not sure.

I could make it default to your prefered settings though. That's a piece of cake.

Thanks a lot! The new version seems perfect so far, and it does save the export path in an INI file which is the main preference which is awesome :)

Many thanks, JP8!

Does anyone here know of a good source for pure + short WAVs of acoustic instruments? I'm thinking flutes, church organs, stringed instruments...
