VirSyn has announced that iVoxel - The singing vocoder is now available for the Mac platform (standalone).

iVoxel is not only a vocoder - the unique concept of iVoxel turns this vocoder into a singing machine going far beyond the capabilities of traditional or software vocoders.

iVoxel lets you:

• Speak or sing into your head set mic transforming your voice in a wide variety of ways.
• Record words, syllables or other sounds into the voxel dictionary for later reuse.
• Play different voxels live on the on-screen keyboard with ingenious pitch bending or with an external MIDI Keyboard.
• Arrange and play melodies with the built in sequencer and add the lyrics from a user expandable dictionary of voxels.

iVoxel is a combination of a voice optimized synthesizer and a vocoder with intelligibility. The vocoder part is based on the Matrix vocoder from VirSyn used by many famous artists - one of them the well known german group Kraftwerk. The channel filters used by iVoxel are based on the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 resulting in a rich and fat analogue sound characteristic.

iVoxel for Mac is available now in the Mac App Store for $23.99.
