Nord User Forum

Hello everyone, I'm new here, just got my Stage 2 a couple of weeks ago. I'm very glad I found this forum which
seems like a great place and I've found lots of useful stuff here to help me with my inexperience/beginner problems so far (mostly by using the search function)
This time however searching didn't work so I decided to create a new post and before I start rambling I will just get to the point:

I'm struggling to find a satisfying choir sound/program. I've fooled around with some different samples and effects but everything sounds
so unrealistic, nothing compared to the realism of other instruments that are sampled so I'm starting to think I am just not quite getting it yet
and doing something wrong.
Specifically I'm looking for an "epic" choir sound that goes well with your typical film music piece (think Narnia Soundtrack "The Battle" for example).
Does anyone here have a program he or she would be willing to share? Or any tips on what sample is best to start with?

Thank you very much in advance!

Some nice choirs here : http://sc-sounds.com/vocals.php

Beside the nice sounds from sc-sounds You can find many voices/choir sounds in the Nord Sample Library under Mellotron, Chamberlain and Voices. I add some sounds I use (sometimes also mixed with slot A & B) which I mostly found in this forum. My favorite is Voices.nsmp, but this is more "Swingle Singers" style, only known to elderly people (-:

I tried to search for the source post of the sounds (instead of uploading), but the forums seems not to find filenames in posts with the search function. So I attach it directly. Thanks to all the contributors of these sounds.

I forgot something:
If You already upgraded Your Nord Stage 2 to the newest OS 2.10 (supports the new and the old sample format) then You can also download from the Nord Stage 2 Ex Page the Factory Sample Sounds of the Nord Stage 2 EX which are also working on the "old" but upgraded Nord Stage 2. There You find some nice Choir/Voice Sounds which may fit better to Your musical idea, all sample names beginning with AngelicVocalPad..... Download the Zip-file, unzip it and You can download the samples with the newest version of the Nord Sample manager to Your Keyboard.
