It runs in the Decent Sampler app, which you can download here:
Decent Sampler Plugin [FREE] by Decent Samples
Back when I was recording Kelly McMichael’s second album we were inspired to try making some Enya style sampled vocals. I managed to make something work nicely with Reaper’s built in Reasamplomatic plugin that sounded great but looked horrible and only ran in Reaper. Well it’s been a few years and I’ve learned how to design Decent Sampler instruments that sound and look great and are easy to share!
Kelly and John and I spent the latter half of September 2026 on tour around Germany and in the middle of it we managed to find a quiet evening to sample our voices to make this one of a kind choir plugin.
Controls:
ATTACK: Short attack preserves our natural sampled attack. Longer attack smooths that out.
RELEASE: Increase the release to make nice dreamy pads.
REVERB: Using Decent Sampler’s convolution reverb there are a number of spaces to choose from the drop-down menu below.
OOH/AHH SLIDER: This slider mixes from only “ooh” samples to “ahh” samples. This means you can have a blend of either. It also makes the instrument a lot more expressive and dynamic. Try using midi learn to control this with a real knob and see what I mean.
FAT/SINGLE BUTTON: This button changes the voice mode of the instrument. We sampled three instances of our entire ranges from bottom to top. This gives three samples to round robin in “single” voice mode, or three samples to stack in “fat” mode. “Fat” mode makes it more like a choir with a total of nine voices per note.
VOICE MIXER: Each of our individual voices can be mixed in or out using the knobs hovering over our pictures.
