    I searched a lot for the whistling synthesizers and sampled sounds of this song and couldn't find it

    It just sounds like someone whistling to me (listening on tiny speakers at the moment).

    I guess just whistle or sample/record someone whistling? :cool:

    if they had someone who could whistle this well they wouldn't have used the vocals. but seriously, just for some reason, I think it is software.

    I dunno. The subtle nuance changes in that whistle, is it possible there is software so advanced that can sound like that?

    well. so it's this guys record. We can agree the vocal in question sounds better than the singer? I am sure a session musician (who isn't credited) can be better than the "artist", certainly. I think it sounds much better than the rest of the recording (that I listened to). "why are you setting up all the good mics for her?" sort of thing. Maybe sampled and worked in Melodyne.

    That makes difficult to get the nature of the whistle, but still I think it's a real whistler, in professional studios you can hire people like that or if you're lucky you may know someone able to do it.
    Of course there are some better than others, do you remember spaghetti western OSTs?

    Absolutely

    Of course. I've watched most of them too.


    I shall definitely take a look at this when I'm on my other pc.

    you can hire someone to record your melody whistled on fiverr as well for very cheap, and they might record it better than you xD

    At 5:40 Tim Henson shows this in a recent Polyphia song

    It is the artist's model in this iconic painting who actually taught the painter how to make music by blowing air through his lips. She thought that he should have gone into music instead, hence the disappointment in her manner. The two of us think that it's actually someone whistling.
