    Wrong answers and guesses only please, unless you actually know.

    Looking for a preset in existing software or hardware.

    The choral pad? with 10CC's I'm not in love, it was layers and layers of manually recorded tape loops of the group singing. A real pain in the ass to do supposedly. Would be awesome to have a kontakt library focused just on that type of sound.

    That's the Alpha Juno "What the?" rave hoover, obviously.

    But seriously, you might get better answers if you point to the sound (w/ timestamp) what you're looking for.
