King’s Choir
A sample instrument of reimagined 'found sounds' and songwriting session hot mic outtakes.

The story
Sound 1: A short “OOO” sung into an Aston Origin; time stretched & printed through FabFilter Pro-R. The sample is formant shifted within Kontakt with an LFO effecting the size and frequency range of the shift.
Sound II:
Two strikes of a ceramic flower pot struck with an oak drum stick recorded with an Sonarworks reference microphone from above. One pitch shifted down an octave with Little Alter Boy and the Unfiltered Audio Tails Shimmer; the other shifted down again post Little Alter Boy with Things Texture. Both hits with aux sends to two different Valhalla Supermassive reverb patches.
Sound III:
Recorded with same Aston Origin a ‘Hydro Flask’ was bowed along the base edge with a heavily resined Viola Bow. Time stretched and pitch shifted down an octave with Little Alter Boy, then send through Valhalla Supermassive with high density, feedback & warp. When “Growl” is activated the sample is changed so that while the pitch is shifted down the formant remains unchanged.
All noise reduction with Izotope RX
Pitch Correction with Wave Tune and Logic Pro Flex Pitch.
My first foray into making custom graphics and GUI.

Great sounds. Inspired me to create some samples in FL Studio 21. I'll be using these sounds to make some Trap music.
Very nice soft choir
I love the warm sound of the choir, I do dislike the fact that it isn't a loop, but no worries. The other sounds aren't really my cup of tea, still very nice!
Lovely
My favorite patch is the default, adding anything else just seemed to take away from the lovely pure sound that I started with.
The interface is very confusing with weird turning knobs and buttons that are hard to tell if they are on or off. Great default sound though.
