VocalSynth’s mix module at the center of the plugin gives the user the ability to mix and match all or individual modules together. These are great for creating intercom or radio-esque vocal tracks.Īfter adjusting your settings for each module, the real fun begins. The Compuvox and Talkbox modules incorporate more digital and synthesized mangling characteristics that either can give your vocals more of a robotic sound or a simulated guitar/bass amp. For each module there are various presets to choose from that all shape the underlying oscillation within in the module. Another cool function that iZotope has added to this, the Compuvox, and to the Talkbox modules is the Oscillator presets. The module incorporates several mode, shift, contour and scale functions that shape the form of the signal. Vocoderīy sending the vocal signal through the Vocoder you can achieve more of a sci-fi/resonator effect. Used in tandem with the Voices section of the plugin, you can layer and stack different combinations of voices at different pitches or octaves. The character and humanize knobs add depth to your vocal harmonics. vocal effects such as low pitched voices or chipmunk voices. Not only can you do vocal harmonies with this module but you can also use it for sound design applications, i.e. If you want to layer your vocal track with harmonies, the Polyvox module utilizes the pitch or in this case formant, character, and humanize functions. It even has a wet/dry knob to the left that affects the overall balance of your processing.

With this top section you have the ability to set your vocal harmonies, adjust the strength, set vocals to a customized or preset scale, and even set your harmonics to reflect the quality of vocalist you are using, i.e. Here the dry signal can be layered with numerous harmonics or set to the musical scale of your song. The way VocalSynth works processing chain-wise is first to take the dry vocal signal into it’s pitch correction/preset module (top section of plugin as seen below). Though VocalSynth doesn’t have the traditional EQ and pitch settings that Nectar does, it does allow you to create more unique sounds by layering effects.

Unlike Izotope’s Nectar 2 plugin, Vocal Synth has a stripped down interface that focuses on the creative side of vocal FX. VocalSynth gives you the tools to do just that. Whether you are trying to have your vocalist sound like Daft Punk, Michael Jackson, Imogen Heap, or T-Pain, or if you want to sound like an alien robot from Planet X, now you can. iZotope’s VocalSynth ($199) is the new plugin that combines all the classic vocal sounds of the 80s and 90s.
#IZOTOPE VOCAL SYNTH UPGRADE#
This costs $499 but, as with VocalSynth, the existing Creative Bundle is currently discounted, making it $349 and this includes a free upgrade to the forthcoming Creative Suite.When it comes to vocal processing either for music or post production, engineers and producers have always needed an accessible way of augmenting their vocal tracks. This successor to the Creative Bundle will also include Iris 2, Trash 2 Expanded, BreakTweaker Expanded, Stutter Edit, DDLY and Mobius Filter. VocalSynth 2 also forms part of iZotope’s new Creative Suite. However, you can buy VocalSynth now for the reduced price of $149 and get a free upgrade to the new version when it’s released.

VocalSynth 2 is due to be launched later this month, priced $199. Finally, like many of the company’s recent releases, VocalSynth 2 has the ability to communicate directly with other iZotope plug-ins, appearing in Neutron 2’s Masking Meter and Visual Mixer, while multiple instances across the mix can be monitored and controlled directly from the Tonal Balance plug-in. Two new effects - Chorus and Ring Mod, the latter doubling as a tremolo effect - join the existing Distort, Filter, Transform, Shred and Delay modules. In the effects section, you can now drag and drop the various modules to reorder the effects chain. All of these have been overhauled since version 1, with improvements to sound quality and access to an array of advanced parameters.

Designed for smooth adjustment of a vocal’s character and texture, Biovox can be used in parallel with VocalSynth’s four existing modules - Vocoder, Compuvox, Talkbox and Polyvox. The new Biovox module is said to be based on scientific modelling of the human vocal tract and allows you to alter characteristics like nasality, breathiness, vowel shapes and formants. For version 2, iZotope have redesigned the GUI, added new effects and more detailed controls, and introduced a completely new vocal manipulation engine. Conceived as an all-in-one vocal processor and multi-effects plug-in, the original VocalSynth covered everything from synthesized harmonies and subtle manipulation to full-on vocoding, glitching and singing synth sounds.
