I'm not great at improvising on the keyboard, but I often have melodic ideas that I can sing more readily than play them. However, my voice doesn't sound that great and I was wondering if there is a way I could distort it so it sounds like a lead synth or so.

What effects would you apply to achieve that?

Demonstrate your results with this sample:

(eg just like you'd add reverb to a track or something)
and theyre free!

I use Melodyne to turn vocal "doodling" into MIDI keypresses and pitch-bends. Not cheap but it does the job great -- and a whole lot more.

This being my main obsession with VSTs I'll have a lot to say unless I can dig up my old posts about it. ;)
