Can the Virus make choir pads like this (audio link inside!)

Hey Techno_7, You could activate all 3 osc, detune, unison 2, oscillators with different semitones and about those spec waves go through it to fit the right one. For nice choirs and formants, they recomend 2 to 3 bandpass filters.

Hey,

Is the TI already available (I thought everybody was still waiting for that)?!

Anyway, could you and anybody else PLEASE post some audio examples of synth choir pads (like in that Thrillseeker mix)?! Doesn't matter if it are presets or self-made sounds. Thing is they don't have a Virus model at my local store (waiting for TI), so I would really appreciate it if people could actually post audio examples!!

NOTE: If finding upload space is a problem, just let me know in your reply!

Thanks!

use albino2 to make choirs, it has spectral waves, envelopes per osc and you can have up to 4 serial filters (which you can set to BP), i guess it is enough to simulate a choir.

This is a useful resource here for the formant values for the bandpass filters to create specific "vowels." Can be pretty much applied to any synth.

I like Absynth3 with the multiple resonators effect applied to 3 oscs in parallel (using nearly any vocal-like waveform but you can import your own.) Set each one to one of each bandpass filter, slightly detune everything and stack them to unison 8 voices and you can get some really deep choir pads.

You can take a mono single cycle waveform of your own voice saying nearly anything and turn it into a 100+ voice female choir. Fun!

I'll post an example for you Dance. Might not be too similar but will see. I'll do a quick bit with my voice in Absynth and some bandpass filters + resonators.

Thanks! Please post an audio example with some info how you made it! Hope some others could do this aswell! Can't this be done with the Virus by the way?!

[Keith Phillips]

I'm sure it can, don't have it yet still waiting on release day.. lol

I have been experimenting a little today and got some choirlike sounds (some of them actually ok sounding) out of my Virus C but i could?t hit anything that reminded me of the one in the link you posted

Not an exact match by any stretch of the imagination but you get the idea.

XV-3080 provides the choir sample (pushed up the high mid-range for the breathy texture) and my Virus B provides the under-lying synth pad which is just a filtered 'Rank 1 Supersaw' kind of patch.
I don't have time to recreate the trademark Thrillseekers pad patch!

Let's get back to this discussion on where it started with:
how to get a choir out of a Virus?

samples and other Synth patches are fine, but the challenge is to get it out of any Virus?

Any thoughts?
