What keyboard voice is this?

hey team,

i'm sure you all know you need to copy the link into your address bar

I doubt anyone besides the creator will be able to give you a make and model. It's just a standard voice sound, obviously singing 'doo', with some delay on it. Virtually any decent workstation keyboard will have something similar.

well i'm not looking for anything specific, thats asking too much. but surely out of lots of musicians here, there should be one with a keyboard that produces a similar sound.

Like Kanthos said, you should be able to get something similar on any keyboard with a General MIDI soundbank and the ability to layer two sounds together (which is most of them). On the random keyboard sitting next to me (Casio WK-1200) I can get pretty close to the sound by layering Voice Oohs (General MIDI patch 54) and Breath Noise (General MIDI patch 122), and this should hold true for any General MIDI soundbank. You shouldn't even need a keyboard -- there are plenty of VSTs that have General MIDI sounds.

There's also heavy reverb on the whole thing.

ahh adding breath noise. didn't think of that... i'll give it a go.

i'm using soundfonts for it anyway. i was just under the impression the sound was likely something of a general midi-2, more complex kinda module.

It sounds similar to Kurzweil's sample library Take 6.
