Can someone help me decide price aside?
I have perused other threads on this topic but was hoping for a focus on similarities and differences between these two.
I have demos of both but haven't had enough time to delve yet!
MConvolutionMB is a beast by the way!
Thanks!

Ha! I wish I could! Must demo more!goldglob wrote:Even longer answer: Go Total and be done with it.
My quick impressions of buzzing through a bunch of presets using some basic synth patches is that Harmonizer yielded some quality sounds quickly while Unison seemed to have the ability to have a larger effect on the output. This is not a bad thing and I am serious when I say that I didn't spend enough time with them yet!

OK.
Harmonizer:
It has 3 different main algorithms for changing the pitch, unison only has 1.
It is designed to be played with a keyboard. The idea is that you sing and play harmonies with the keys.
For pure pitch shifting it has the better quality, as the different algorithms work better with different material.
Unison:
This is more of a unison effect, stacked up voices with detuning/panning to thicken up sounds.
There is an auto-pitch section that will allow you to pitch the added notes into a scale, it works very well.
You can have up to 50 voices and there is loads of control over how the voices are spread.
It is good for making double tracked instruments and vocals, from a single recording.
So there are the main differences. Personally, I use unison almost every day in sound design, it sounds amazing! However, I am not a singer or musician so don't really have a need for a harmonizer. Plus if you are looking for something to pitch shift sounds then I would go for MTransformer for that.

Both are useful, but MHarmonizer is mostly just a pitch shift effect. The cool thing is you can control it manually. MUnison turns 1 voice into an ensemble. It can do pitch shifting, but there isn't as much control. Personally I use MUnison more often, but that's just me. Here is a video I did using MUnison to create choir sounds. (I'll release another MUnison vid tomorrow).

Awesome and thanks. After exporting the demos more, I am definitely leaning heavily towards MUnison!Chandlerhimself wrote:Both are useful, but MHarmonizer is mostly just a pitch shift effect.

OK, I got MUnison. It isn't good...
It's really damn good. Thing is blowing me away with the ability to transform a simple synth patch or sample into a collective of awesome. Thanks all and thanks Melda!
