behind the lead singer (in this case, the original
input). There are, however, a lot of other really
intriguing possibilities (highly dependent on
your particular vocal). We encourage you to play
around and discover some for yourself.
NOTE: The Formant Only mode is
not available in Fixed Interval or
Smart Interval modes. The button is
disabled in those modes.
Formant + Pitch
Click the Formant +
Pitch button to engage
the Formant + Pitch
Freeze function.
The button will turn blue to indicate that the
function is active and both the harmony voices’
formants and articulation and their current
harmony pitches will be frozen at the instant
the button is clicked.
CHOIR
Harmony Engine Evo provides five integrated channels of our unique CHOIR Vocal Multiplier.
First introduced as part of the AVOX Vocal Toolkit, CHOIR is a unique processor that turns a single
monophonic voice into 2, 4, or 8 distinct individual unison voices, each with its own pitch, timing and
vibrato variations.
The voices can, if desired, be spread across the stereo spectrum. When multiple channels of CHOIR
are assigned to the input vocal and/or individual harmony parts, the result is a startlingly realistic
large vocal ensemble.
With the original Harmony Engine, incorporating CHOIR meant struggling with your host’s five
channel output mode (if it had one) and, of course, owning a copy of CHOIR. With Harmony Engine
Evo, jaw-droppingly amazing choirs are just a few button presses away.
Click the button again to disengage the function
and return the channels to normal
This is useful for, among other things, having
the harmony voices hold a chord while the
original input continues with the melody over it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In both Freeze
modes, there must be audio present
in the original input and harmony
sounding in at least one harmony voice at the
moment the Freeze function is engaged. If
not, all harmony output will be muted until the
function is disengaged, giving the impression
that Harmony Engine Evo is somehow
“broken.” Be careful.
