Simple solution: Instead of using the one "best" take, use the best four 
takes. Instant choir. If you want you can put them on different tracks and 
stretch the pan a bit. But using one track and making the takes "opaque" in 
ardour is also easy to handle.

If that is not an option (because there aren't enough best-takes or because 
its just a programmed synth-track (*)) you have to use a chorus effect.

(*) You can also just record that synth several times if the sequencer has a 
feature to add some jitter to the notes or maybe some swing. Maybe combine it 
with detuning the synth a bit different for each take and you get several 
"musicians" too.

Have fun,

Arnold
