    Dear audiosexers, anyone knows where this 'ah' sound is from?
    It's an iconic 'ah' sound used in Trance tracks.
    Maybe from 'Zero-G; Datafile Vol. 1, 2, 3' or from an Emulator I/II/III?
    I could extract this sound and sample it, but I prefer to get the original source.
    Thanks for helping!

    I'm not sure, but I'd guess one of the early Nexus expansions might have it or something very close.

    look up something called a formant filter, in sound design its a filter that creates vowel sounds like that out of the resonances: "ah's" are one of the vowels like in your examples

    Delay Lama makes your computer sound and look like a singing Tibetan monk. Delay Lama is the first software synthesizer that features both vocal synthesis and a real-time 3D animated interface, which dynamically reacts to musical gestures from the user.

    To control the pitch and vowel sound (ooh-ow-ah-ayh-eeh), either a MIDI keyboard with pitchbender, or the built-in XY-controller can be used. For an extra mystical effect, Delay Lama has a simple stereo delay.

    i think this came from a KORG sampler or something?

    the vengeance club sounds series (one of the early versions) has a few one shots.

    And i think Nexus complete might have a preset based on the vengeance one shots.

    try arturia CMI V or any Fairlight plugin. There is a classic sample, i believe arturia calls it sarraa or something like that.
