Sampled vocal pad instrument recreating the famous choir sound from 10cc's 'I'm Not In Love' using multi-tracked male vocals in Kontakt Player

Summary

Tape Choir is a sampled vocal pad instrument designed to recreate the distinctive choir pad sound from 10cc's "I'm Not In Love". It uses vintage multi-tracked recordings of male voices combined into a playable virtual instrument.

Features

  • Samples of three male vocalists singing unison notes, recorded multiple times to create a layered choir effect
  • 23 notes sampled and combined into single audio files per key with randomized start times to mimic natural variation
  • Custom Kontakt script (KSP) controls simulating tape characteristics: noise, wow, speed, loops
  • Custom tape equalizers, filter and envelope shaping
  • Custom space processor to add ambience
  • KONTAKT PLAYER compatible: operates as a plugin (VST/AU/RTAS/AAX/WASAPI) in a variety of DAWs without need for full Kontakt license

System Requirements

  • Windows 7 or higher (32/64 bit), Intel Core Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2, 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended)
  • Mac OS X 10.9 or higher, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM
  • KONTAKT 5 or KONTAKT 5 PLAYER version 5.6.8 or later required

Usage

The instrument is aimed at music producers and composers seeking the characteristic lush and infinite choir pad sound historically created by extensive tape layering techniques, now easily accessible via a software sampler instrument.
