Richard DeHove - Human Voices Redux for Omnisphere

Human Voices Redux is exclusively about voices: Big choirs, little choirs, lead vocal keys, human beatbox drums, wistful calls and effects, all made with human vocal samples and vox waveforms.

Hidden in plain sight within Omni are some brilliant vocal sample sets. Prime among them is the famous Symphony of Voices with its choirs, leads, sopranos, tenors, and Gregorian samples. Then there’s hundreds of world vocal sample sources from other sample libraries such as Heart of Asia, Heart of Africa and Vocal Planet. Add to that many more phrases, jazz, pop and processed vocal effects.

This huge resource is explored in Human Voices Redux. The prime mission was to make these samples fresh and to automatically output the variations and natural organic flucuations which make sampled choirs sound more realistic. So with Redux I was always modulating parameters and adding subtle randomizations.

This set was a huge amount of fun. The video below is a no-talking run through of the entire 120 patches. Open up the video info to jump to time stamps of different categories. At least have a listen to the drum arpeggios – not what you’d expect from a voices set and crazy fun. To read more, scroll down past the video.
