Help me! Death Metal Choir Synths

[vespiz]

Anything closer to the beginning of Hypocrisy - Fractured Millenium?

Just had a quick listen (through a crappy speaker) and that choir sound reminds me of Korg Symphony, an older sound module from 1988.. (Love it, tho' it's only mono!).
Might be something from a newer Korg?? Probably not that difficult to come up with, just layer with some strings and you're good to go!

It's been a long time I've used it, but I remember I found Miroslav Philarmonic VST's choirs very good, plus you can tweak them a lot and use it for a lot of other things than choir, too.

I only have the smaller Miroslav, so I don't know how they're like in the full Miroslav, but they need a lot of layering and tweaking to sound good IMO. I usually use Miroslav choirs to fill up some other choirs a bit.

On the Deaht Cult Album Dimmu Borgir used samples. EastWest's Symphonic Choirs is great but if you have nothing to use for the moment you can download DSK ChoirZ for free. http://www.dskmusic.com/ Not great but ok and better than nothing.
