Replicating whistle sound

[Muppet]

Sounds daft but anyone know of an effect I could use to replicate the whistle in 'Moves Like Jagger'? I want to load it in to a Loop pedal to play back at the appropriate times. 

I know the correct answer is not to do the fecking thing at any cost but it's a wedding request and you have to keep punters happy.........

I bet you'll find one in the recently opened BBC sound archive.

but using it at gigs would be illegal

Yes it would.

I'm sure the BBC will spend thousands on sound comparison services to identify if it is their whistle.

Work out who's the best whistler in the band and give them a mic! Even if it's a bit wonky I would rather hear it attempted at a live gig than someone play back a sample.

Or you could give it a bash with a theremin?

Or Digitech Jamman with the sample saved on an SD card if you must use a sample!

That's exactly the plan. I use it for other key phrases or intros to songs so I know it works. I just need to get a phrase to sample. We've tried recording a human whistle but it sounds rubbish. I can find helicopters, explosions,  lightning, gun shots and aliens but I can't find a whistle!

Just use the alien sound, and say you're playing that lesser-known variation, Abducts, Probes and Partially Wipes Your Memory Like Jagger

Get your synth player to diddle something out on the Rhodes lol

I'll let you know how that goes down with the rest of the band

You're talking to the closest thing we have to a synth player! 

[tonyquipment]

Get the midi file and extract the whistle notes out of it lol feed it through some vst synth and you got yourself a nice little ditty
