You can register the demo, but this will not remove the blanks. You will receive a link to download the newest update within the next 24-48 hours. If not, drop me a line.

Kim.

I was so happy to get the formant correction correction working.

But now you mention it, I surely can include the possibility to do just formant shifting.

Something for the next release - maybe.

If you add formant shifting, you've got me as a customer.

Forever,

Paul, how does Choir Boy compare to the old Steinberg Voice Machine?

I have no idea I'm afraid. Anyone else?

‘Choir Boy’ has just been updated to include Real-time, Stereo, Polyphonic Formant Correction! Now your vocal choirs need not sound like a chorus of bears and chipmunks! ‘Choir Boy’ is absolutely unique in offering real time, high quality, Midi controllable, polyphonic pitch shifting for the exceptional introductory price of just $19.95.

New features for V1.22:

Real-time, Stereo, Polyphonic Formant Correction!
'Smooth Formant' filter control for optimum results.
Stereo Pan sliders added for all voices.
'Auto-Gain' post Formant volume correction.
'CPU-Save' mode avoids processing on zero/low input.
'Hi-Res' mode for improved sound quality on certain material.
GUI Fix for Adobe Audition.
Formant correction is a method for restoring the human qualities to vocal tracks that have been pitch shifted. ‘Choir Boy’ uses a unique approach to this task which enables Formant correction, not only for a single voice, but for a complete choir – in real time!

Samples:

Check out some of the sample material:
Original Vocal

Transformed to a 4 part Choir with Formant correction

Transformed to a 4 part Choir without Formant correction

Key Existing Features:

3 additional 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.
Instructions included.

A demo of 'Choir Boy' can be downloaded directly from this link:

For use on vocals, solo instruments and polyphonic instruments.

The demo is good for 35 days, does not include the latest features, and mutes the sound every 10 seconds.

Cheers and Enjoy!

Hi,

I just made a new demo of 'Choir Boy' available. You can get it via the usual means (link on my site or in this thread).

Share-it! Download for Choir Boy.

I made the 'Formant correction' functionality available for people to try. I also added a 'Formant Stretch' feature for shifting and stretching formants.

The demo is time restricted and blanks the audio every 10 seconds.

Enjoy!

Paul

If you downloaded 'Choir Boy' within the last 35 days, you need to take this opportunity to try the new demo before the demo period expires.

Cool! I'll check it out as soon as I get a chance!

Forever,

Kim.

Just tried downloading the demo from the ShareIt link given, but it says that the version number is 1.20, not 1.22. Is there a later demo version I should be trying?

That's correct. V1.20 is the new demo. The licensed version is now at V1.25.

V1.20 has some features disabled, but you are able to use the Formant correction features.
