Whirly Tube Choir Pad
A pad created from whirly-tubes.

The story
I recorded some plastic whirly tube thingys ( that is their technical name right?) I recorded several passes in different pitches and speeds. I normalized them and filtered them a bunch . Then I mapped them in to Kontakt and tuned them up. I added some Long “Church “ verb and it has a nice choir like effect. Maybe I’ll make a hybrid choir with this and my “Cricket Choir”! Cheers!
Reviews
Nicely captured piccolo-like sound choir
The sound immediately reminded me of one of my favorites, "Wicker People and Piccolo" from the Spitfire Earth Library : The sound seems to be in the middle of the flute and piccolo, and sounds like the choir. I personally love the sound of this tube choir!
Haunting Pads
What a fun sample library this is! The gently pulsing ghostly sound fits nicely in many musical situations, and this seems like a great instrument to sample since they're both unwieldy and impractical to use in a studio to try to actually track live on a project. Very nicely done!
Ghostly feels!
In typical Joshua fashion, the sound quality is amazing, but this time, the character of the instrument is something else! It really sounds like that retro-stereotypical ghost sound, and I think it's lovely! I find very interesting to play single notes and messing with the pitch-bend a little bit, but that's definitely not the only way to use it. Unfortunately you won't find any dynamics or settings.
