Elevayta ‘Choir Boy’ – MIDI configuration in SONAR

[Space Boy]

‘Choir Boy’ is a multi-voice pitch shifting plug-in.

From a single input (mono or stereo), ‘Choir Boy’ generates 3 additional voices, which can be tailored to various pitches and controlled via Midi or host automation.


Key features:

• 3 additional stereo voices generated from a single audio/VSTi track.
• Advanced high quality pitch shifting algorithm.
• Stereo or Mono processing.
• MIDI control of each additional voice.
• Fixed relative pitch shift mode.
• Dynamic relative pitch shift mode (to a separate Midi track)
• Polyphonic MIDI note detection for chordal generation.
• Preset configurations.
• Latency compensation and PDC compliant.
• Instructions included.

'Choir Boy' can be downloaded via this link:

Share-it! Download Demo and/or Purchase Choir Boy.

For use on vocals, solo instruments and polyphonic instruments.

The demo is good for 35 days and mutes the sound every 10 seconds.

A license costs $15.95 and will run on multiple PCs.

Cheers and Enjoy!

Checkin it out now .

Please Note:

When you buy a license, it will license the product but does not remove the blanking.

In my usual update procedure, a link to download the non-demo, non-blanked version will be mailed automatically (i.e. without my intervention) within 48 hours after purchase.

Not ideal, I know. But it is automatic and relatively secure from my perspective.

Having said that, if you can't wait the 48 hours then just drop me an email, and if I am available/awake, I will mail the link by return of mail.

security first.

as for the pan, a real luxury could be a multichannel option/version.

Shouldn't be a problem for me to add pan controls for each voice. I'll probably include it in a near future update.

I have been working on the midi control and auto pitch detection for the last few months (as well as a few other plugs). The midi control was tricky, but I am happy enough with it to make this release.

The auto pitch detection (not included in this release) is working about 80% but not as robust as I would like. I just had a better idea, but it will take some time to code, integrate and test. If/when I am happy that it is good enough, I'll certainly include it in an update (Note: if I make it too good, the price of Choir Boy may increase).

I also plan to take a look at formant correction (since I now have an idea what to do). I hope it won't take too much additional CPU, but to do it well is not trivial. Again, if it comes out good, I'll add it to an update.

Note: You can use Choir Boy in many creative ways without formant correction.

Whats with all those names ?
Space boy, choir boy, clone boy... will there be a product without boy in its name ?

I think this comes from: When you hear these, you shout 'Oh Boy'.

I'm sure as hell going to get this one too. Elevayta rules! I'm a big fan! I'm convinced it's going to be with Choir Boy as with Paul's previous Boys: First version works and sounds great. Still it gets updated regularly and with every update - it gets even better! That's value for money! (Or should that be value for no money!?)

Keep it up man!

So, does this mean that there´s no respect to formants in the way this plugin works? That must sound strange, on vocals especially...

At the moment...no. Choir Boy isn't primarily for vocals. It provides a flexible means to pitch shift any material, in stereo, under control, with a high quality.

To do formant correction well is not trivial - especially in stereo (imagine two different voices on each channel). If what I can realize in formant correction compromises the overall quality of Choir Boy as it is now, then I will not include it (same goes for the pitch detection).

Needless to say, I will work on it continually until I get something I like.

Having said that, you can achieve pretty realistic multi-voice vocal effects with Choir Boy as it is now.
