Hi folks,

I am currently transcribing a Weather Report tune from their 1980's 'Sportin' Life' album. The track has some short vocal one-shots (towards the end); stuff like: Hey, Yeah, Yo, Wow, etc - I think it's Bobby McFerrin.

Anyway, I can't seem to find anything at all like what I am requiring; something like a 1GB DVD or download in Wav format. If I could map (say) 25 different vocal-FX across two octaves of my Electro-6 that would be fantastic; then I could leave the preset open and trigger any of the hits at random.

I have attached a couple of choruses of the song in which McFerrin is scatting.

It would be great if someone might kindly point me in the right direction . . .

Best,

You can check freesound.org (or any other websites that hosts scat samples) and download some scat/voice samples. Create a sample using the Nord Sample Editor to assign each WAV to a specific note.

Thanks Fred,

I forgot about Freesound.

I don't mind purchasing products from a retailer though, should they be suffice.

Hi Fred,

I hope you are well.

I auditioned about 50 voice/vocal uploads on FreeSound last night and unfortunately none of them were particularly fitting. But I appreciate the suggestion, of course.

Why not use your own voice. Try recording the scat samples it might turn out great.

Thanks for your novel suggestion. Well, I would be too paranoid to do so, if I'm honest! Also, I require female-vox one-shots so that factor kinda' rules the option out anyway!

. . . I was wondering if this might work?

Listening to 1500 samples until you find what you are looking for should be fun...

Well surely each of the samples will be 'named'?
