Antares Audio Technologies has announced the upcoming release of Harmony EFX, a new tool for generating up to five-part vocal harmony from a single vocal line.
Features :
• Evo Voice Processing Technology for fast, accurate pitch detection; smooth, artifact-free pitch shifting; and seamless, natural-sounding (if you want it to be) throat modeling
• Four high-quality, formant-corrected harmony voices with independent pan settings
• Antares Throat Modeling technology that lets you process each harmony voice through a physical model of the human vocal tract
• A variety of innovative Harmony Control modes, from fully automatic to individual control of every note:
. Fixed or Scale Intervals: Simply set the key and harmony voice intervals and let Harmony EFX do the rest
. Chord Degrees or Chord Name: Define your harmony chord-by-chord, complete with inversions and variable vocal ranges
. Chord by MIDI: Define your harmony in real time via a MIDI controller or pre-recorded MIDI track
. MIDI Omni: Directly "play" the four harmony voices as if they were voices of a synth or sampler
. MIDI Channel: Use four separate MIDI channels for absolute control over each note of your vocal arrangement
• Spread and Register controls that allow you to quickly and intuitively set the pitch range and harmony style of your vocal arrangement
• Humanize functions that provide selectable amounts of variation to each harmony voice for realistic, natural sounding results
• A Harmony Preset matrix that lets you create up to 12 complete harmony settings and instantaneously recall them in real time or via automation
• And lots more...
Harmony EFX will be available for RTAS (Mac and PC), VST (Mac and PC), and Audio Units in mid-October. And as an introductory special, from its release in mid October through the end of November, Harmony EFX can be purchased at a price of $49.00 — over 60% off its regular US MSRP of $129.00.
