Zebra 2 Morphing Voice

One of my big passions is synthetic choir's and voices. By chance i found a new waveform which could be used for a morphed ooh-aah voice but as always with voices you have to compromise between getting as much notes covered compared to avoiding chip monk effect. With 2 waveforms i make the transition between the Ooh and the Aah using velocity to control the crossover.

The patch uses 1 OSC with 2 wavetable waveforms.

Here is an example with some soft background:

and here is a Jazzy example of use:

Both demos is straight out of Zebra 2 and nothing added.

Hi Michael,

what reverb do you usually use?

Sounds really open, wide clean and nice.

Oh, and the sounds rock, of course!!!!

Hi Hans :)

Usually i try to use the internal reverb in Zebra as much as i can.

So in morphing voice case its Zebra doing it all as usual. Zebra wont give the super wide reverb effect but its good in its own way.

Now IF i was not to use the reverb in Zebra i would usually go for Variverb for small to medium size rooms and for halls and larger stuff i would use Artsacoustic.

I recently picked up Rayspace which is nice piece of work but i havnt used much time with it yet.

There's a huge difference between the stuff i did in 2007 and the things i do now here in 2008 because i got rid of the old monitors ( could hadly be called monitors since it was just some old hi-fi speakers ;) )

Anyway, my new monitors are cheap (Yamaha HS 50M) and gives me a much better overview of the details, so if things sound good then its thanks to these new speakers :)

Cheers

/Michael
