4th Generation harmony
Many of the advancements are in the “humanization” of the harmony voices. We’ve added new parameters and broken out former group settings into individual voice settings:
* Each harmony voice now has unique portamento and pitch-smoothing values for better separation
* Unique humanization style and amount settings per voice allow quicker edits
* Added energy (volume) level randomization per voice to better mimic group dynamics
* Any voice can be designated as a doubling voice in all harmony modes Controlling harmonies with MIDI is easier and more realistic sounding than ever:
* Automatic note extension keyed on lead voice duration for smoother notes mode response
* “Fussy” chord mode allows you to play runs and chords while controlling harmonies in chord mode
* Scale mode MIDI override offers quick solution tonon-scale input notes without editing Of course there are quality improvements too:
* Increased portamento accuracy
* All new, more realistic harmony vibrato styles
* Improved voice allocation in notes mode increases pan and gender stability with widepanned voices And there are some new special effects:
* Harmony hold update allows MIDI performance of sustained phonemes
* Hold/Notes mode ADSR envelope with randomization creates synth-like performance from a vocal part
Voice Modeling
Create Characters using VoiceModeling
With VoiceModeling you can transform your live singing voice to make it deeper, breathier or even add a growl that would make you hoarse otherwise. The additional modeling blocks can be mixed and matched to lend your voice everything from the most subtle enhancements to the sound of hyperactive cartoon characters.
VoiceWorksPlus Modeling Blocks:
* Inflection
* Pitch shift
* Vibrato
* Resonance & spectral
* Breath & growl
