Otamatone Choir
The quirky Otamatone instrument in sample form
Byjacktrubshaw
The story
This instrument was created by recording an Otamatone direct into a Shure SM7B. Recording the correct pitch on the Otamatone is difficult, if you’re not familiar with the instrument I’d encourage you to look it up as it’s better seen than described. Trying to find an exact pitch on one is essentially like trying to find the right note on a fretless guitar, I’m sure with more practice it becomes easier, however I’m far from an expert.
This is the first sample instrument I’ve created so hopefully it sounds reasonable and I hope you enjoy using it.

It's Absurd And I Love It
Now this is the kind of silliness and brilliance I come here for. On paper the idea is just simple, but when you get to playing with it you end up with something between an electric key board, fake guitar notes or maybe some kind of strange bagpipe. I look forward to sneaking this into someone's metal song in the future, Thank You.
Cool little sound but you need to look it up to realize what it is!
At first I didn't know what to think. Not super pleasant by itself and for me not really usable until I discovered that all five groups were stacked together. When I soloed the samples I discovered a delightful little instrument. I particularly like the third group as it's less harsh and has a cutely ambiguous tuning! Thank you for this Jack!
