VirSyn has announced the release of iVoxel, "The singing vocoder" for Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

iVoxel is a combination of a voice-optimized synthesizer and a vocoder. The vocoder part is based on the Matrix vocoder from VirSyn. The channel filters used by iVoxel are based on the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 resulting in a rich and fat analogue sound characteristic.
