Nice one! About time someone released a plugin like this. There has been only one this far, that steinberg voicemachine thing. It was based on TC helicon tech but it sounded much worse than your demo, and not as good as the hardware helicons.

What do you mean you have to enter the chords manually? I hope the god you mean feeding it MIDI note data in realtime.

Make it work, make it good. And if you ever have to consider soundquality vs. CPU. Choose sound.

thanks, guys

yep, you feed it with midi-notes(chords) in realtime. and yep, it´s vocoder based (again thanks to MDA for his lovely talkbox

). i think it can sound quite good when you keep in mind that it´s vocoder-based

but i want it to act more like a real harmonizer, where individual choir voices are shifted up/down depending on pitch of input vocal - thats what i´m trying to implement now

Sounds good! Keep us posted on any further developments. The world need more of these kinds of pluggins.

Will this actually be a harmonizer or just a straight pitch shifter? If the former, will you be including multiple scales for the pitch to shift to as well as controls for the key?

I'm thinking the controls should like like this for instance:

Key:
Harmony:
Scale:
Voices:

You could then set up controls like this for each voice. I say keep going with this, we definately need more fun toys like these.

midi input is much more convenient is it not? you can just 'play' the harmonies in, much more immediate than fiddling with settings

@funkybot: yes, i´m planning on having real scales/harmonies and stuff but i guess i have to learn more on this. (bad english).

atm, i´m trying to implement a simple but interesting way of harmony-shifting/switching.

lets say you press a C Major on your keabord e.g. C3-E3-G3.

then i want the plug to shift according which note you´re currently singing.

example (with c major):
you sing C3:

low voice: G2
mid voice: E3
high voice: G3

you sing E3:

low voice: C2
mid voice: G3
high voice: C4

and so on!

hope it makes sense

@xravenx: i also think so, but with automatic switching the whole thing would be a lot more interesting

Beautiful!!!

Your voice is georgious...Seriously

sonicfire,

file this under 'trade secrets' if you don't want to answer, but what synth/carrier are you using to process each individual vocal harmony. You say it's vocoder based but somehow it sounds surprisingly un-vocoder like.

mda talkbox (he said it above)

I know that. But for a vocoder you need a carrier and a modulator. In this case the other one is the original voice, and the other one is what?

(edit, nevermind, the little bird just sang)
