which jam pack contains voices?

can anyone tell me which (if any) of the Garage Band Jam Packs has voices. Would like vox, choral, gregorian chant sounds. Jam Pack 4? The write ups don't mention any.

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I can't say for sure, I think it was JP1 that had a choir. Check these out, I believe they are the correct URLs (if they didn't change them on me again) that list what instruments are included in each pack:

Sounds like Jam Pack 1 is deficient for voices then.

Went to the post you referred to.... I found M-AUDIO G-Force M-Tron Virtual Vintage Keyboard plug-in for Mac includes all additional tape banks. Retails for around $98 so this must be the one.

Requirements are PowerMac604e 200 MHz. I have iMac 1.8GHz PowerPC G5.

Can you tell me if I have the system to accomodate?

After further exploration, I discovered that Jam Pack 1 does indeed have 4 choir emulations, all of them synthesized and electronic sounding, but nonetheless pretty cool for space music. The 4 choirs in Jam Pack 1 can be found by clicking on the New Track button (the rectangular gray button with the plus sign on it below the tracks). This opens the New Track window. Select Software Instrument, then use the pull down menu arrows to select Jam Pack 1. In the box below the menu you will find:

Choir

Alien Tempo (soft wah-wah voices with echo)
Basking Glow (crescendo voices with sustain and echo)
Mixed Choir (electronic aah)
Olympus Voices (electronic aah with phasing/flanging)

All are apparently synthesized electronic voices. If you prefer real human voices over electronic, the EastWest Symphonic Choirs and the M-Tron (Mellotron) choirs mentioned in a previous post are from real human voice choirs.
