Angelical Organic Voices?

That sounds very good and a very convincing use of Pink Trombone.

thank you, Iā€™m glad you like it

Please forgive my stupidity, but, where is the magic button in the patch to get sound out? I have the audio device selected as well as MIDI in and can see things changing in the modules, but no sound. Thanks.

itā€™s broken in 2 or 3 points, just read the instructions on the NOTES module

Thanks. That worked. I misinterpreted your use of Parking. I thought it would be in a bypass mode

Wonderful! I havenā€™t figured out the function of the MIDI inputs, but it sounds great without configuring those modules.

There are many beautiful patches in the thread. But my interpretation of the original request is to synthesize a realistic angelic choir sound from scratch, without using samples or already created instruments. (I could be totally wrong on this)

So far there are three patches that meet my interpretation, each of them I think beautiful. And each one is implemented completely differently.

  • Your patch (Some may argue Pink Trombone is a pre-existing instrument. But you did a great job harnessing and taming the many variables, which I think is critical to the realism of your patch)
  • The @rsmus7 patch
  • my own Angelā€™s Calling patch (Not as much timbral depth, but I am still amazed something this simple can sound this good)

Iā€™ll continue to follow and see what else pops up!

my favourite source of 16 random moving values generated by 1 module at the moment is BOGAUDIOā€™s WALK. it generates N values based on the polyphony of an incoming signal, so I set 16 channels of polyphony in the MIDI > CV module and set WALK to ā€œreadā€ the number of polyphony channels from its JUMP input (from the context menu). thatā€™s just my ignorant way to get 16 moving random values channel of randomness, I hope Iā€™ve been clear :broccoli:

Well, the OP was totally open to what is possible for creating human sounding voices. I like all approaches towards accomplishing that goal.

Of course the original OP was 3 years ago.

Yes - another perfectly valid interpretation, especially if all you care about is the end result. I am more interested in the synthesis techniques used. I agree the original post is open for a wide interpretation.

Also, who am I to say what sounds ā€œrealā€ and what doesnā€™t?

I hope I didnā€™t offend anyone. I did try to qualify my opinion, but I can see how some might be taken aback.

Ah, OK. I thought you were expecting some form of MIDI input.

There are many ways to generate 16 polyphonic channels of 0V CV that I think might be less cryptic.

You can use the VCV Merge module without any inputs and configure the number of output channels to 16 in the context menu. Or leave it at automatic and patch the MERGE poly output to the channel 16 mono input to force 16 channels out.

You can do the same with only 1 hp by using the docB M16 module - again patch the output to channel 16 input.

Some additional compact convenient options of generating 16 channels of 0V are my Venom Clone Merge, Poly Clone, and Poly Unison modules, as well as Bogaudio Polymult and Unison modules. I am sure there are others.

thank you, never looked for something similar :+1:

Donā€™t ppl use Vult caudal for this?

To generate up to 12 channels of chaotic CV, sure. But ale47p wanted to use WALK to generate 16 channels of smoothly changing CV, which has its own feel. To do so, Walk requires a poly input with 16 channels, all at constant 0V. The actual CV value is not important, just the poly channel count. I am sure Caudal can generate smoothly changing CV, but it will be different, and it wonā€™t be 16 channels.

Ale47p used the VCV MIDI-CV module to create a 16 channel poly cable. I thought that was confusing or obfuscated. I was just demonstrating alternate ways to generate a poly cable with 16 channels, all at 0V.

Beautiful! :pray:

Super Good, thanks!

Would you take the challenge of do a minimalistic version of this?

Amazing, thank you!

Would you please share the patch?

Amazing! Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Really appreciate the minimal approach.

Great thanks. Really appreciate the minimal and recursive nature of this approach.
