I'm going with Korg M1.

Sounds likely but the M1's weren't manufactured until '88. White Wedding was '82.

Emulator? The thought also occurred to me that White Wedding may have been an actual choir.

Probably a real choir honestly in that idol track.

Mellotron maybe?

either a fairlight using a record singer or a real choir. I mean it is just a few singers max 4 not a choir. COuld also just be one singer overdubbed.The sound is too crisp to be a mellotron or orchestron. Best synth now ? To get that sound, honestly, east wests choir thing sounds pretty synthetic like this one. Omnisphere has one too. M1 is a little too synthetic. Any triton like workstation will have one.

Alright, forget Billy Idol. What about the Trisco track? To me they sound like the exact same sound but I might be wrong

The last track sounds like a classic analogue vocoder like this Roland 70's one as used by Laurie Anderson

As you listen (about 1 minute ++ in) you can hear parts that sound like the choir in your second track there where the beat is playing, not in the track breaks;

ROLAND VP330 - I love one of these muthas

not even close. THe last one could be a mellotron or one of the roland workstation synths and could be replicated using the tools I mentioned before with a low pass filter and some drive to make it sound like a mellotron. Or you could just use the Gforce mellotron app as mentioned. Not sure if it is the altitude but your hearing is ed.

Any old choir sample will do I think with LP (or even wide BP) as mentioned and probably a teeny touch of LFO driven pitch modulation as well.

Which one do you think? I bet that sound in the Trisco track is from a workstation... gotta find out which one I need that sound
Looney4Clooney
wouldn't not be a vst as the track is early 2000.There were giga libraries however the strings sound like roland rompler stock. Off the top of my head, the Roland JV-1080 or something in that line. Had mellotron style sounds.

The only way you will know for sure is a gear list. But the timing is right. 1998 i believe. THe emu proteus is also a possibility.
