Hopefully that link is correct. Anyway $79 Intro price. Lack of a demo except with total access makes it a no-go for me atm. Goes beyond a vocoder they say but it sounds like a vocoder in the video they put up.
Edit: A youtube video demoed it a bit more. Pretty cool voice changing for speaking but didn't demo it singing.

It is released.. Great.
My favourite Minimal Audio product so far (yes today was not my first time with it).
It does way beyond Vocoding, actually I don't think vocoding was even in the initial concept..
But yes I agree the audio befores and afters do sound very vocoder like.. Alas I am away from my studio for this week so I couldn't put up many non vocoder like examples. I am sure they will do so long before I get back to my studio.

This is fantastic.
One of my favourite aspects of Minimal's products and overall approach is that they're not shy about being forward looking.
This is not your usual "I want to sound like Daft Punk" vocoder. It goes way beyond that. The amount of options for spectral shaping of vocals is pretty nuts.
Couple that with Minimal's roster of effects and a modulation system lifted from current and you're looking at something really comprehensive.
There's great modularity in the signal flow like being able to keep tuning on or off while mixing the dry wet.
It's like a much nicer version of vocal synth or Ovox.
Great stuff.

I had to sign up for and cancel the subscription to demo Current (if I remember correctly), and so I need to do that again just to demo this? It doesn't make sense.
Every day takes figuring out all over again how to f#ckin’ live.

This stuff is great i did purchase it and I had very interesting sound , it is pretty use to use and the filter on the top of the plugin is REALLY good.

I only test it on vocal , I must say I had better result than the other vocoder i had tried.

I went ahead and bought Evoke. I'm still waiting for a magic plugin that will turn my garbage vocals into something palatable, but this is pretty good. The resynthesis section seems a bit simplistic to me. It's good but I'd like to see more in-depth options for shaping the sound. The formant filter is really good imo. They can get into the auto-tuning game if they want, I think. Maybe that should be audio-tuning, auto-tuning sounds like their joining the underground street racing scene or something.
I've yet to try it on instruments and I don't regret buying it. I didn't check the cpu usage but I didn't have any issues and it hasn't crashed so far. Minimal Audio seems pretty good about not releasing bug filled plugins, unlike some others,,,,
Still think they need to offer demos without total access. It's the reason I've not considered buying Current. I'm a sucker for vocoder type plugins though,,,

Why do you have to subscribe to the all access plan to demo, I was already a subscriber and after a number of years bought out the plugins I wanted, not going to sub again just to demo one plugin that does seem cool. Silly move.
