I recently spent an hour or so with triple play kontakt and voxos virtual choir. its a strange feeling playing a choir. it was cool on the ftp with string / fret spits. soprano alto tenor bass.

Love, Love, LOVE this....  I really need to pick up a GR55 or some other Roland Guitar Synth at some point....  so much more expressive than a keyboard.

Voices Emerging From Six Vibrating Strings

Inspired by recent video footage of the giant squid, this piece features the lovely Roland RS-505 string machine on all synth duties. It was a little tricky for me, as I've grown accustomed to using some form of MIDI and/or CV in, and this ancient beast can only be played live! Can you say, old school?! Note that any phase or flange effect comes from the Paraphonic's own fabulous Ensemble section.

Quick demo of the Roland Organ/Strings 09.  No noise reduction done, enjoy the noise floor being modulated by the Moogerfooger LFO later on!
