Description:

The Voice Tweaker Pro is the high-end plugin in the Voice Tweaker series. It shares the features found in Lite and adds an advanced graphical control over pitch and formants. The graphical view lets you fine tune each nuance of a performance by pitch as well as formants. By moving selected parts of a graph, harmonies can quite easily be created (see the sound examples).

It also adds automation capabilities through DirectX 8. Pitch, Formant, Pitch modulation and modulation frequency can be automated by hosts capable of connecting to plugs with automation support.

Features:

		All basic features in common with Voice Tweaker Lite.
		DirectX 8 Automation of Pitch, Formant and Modulation Level/Frequency. This allows you to automate these parameters in a host that supports the DirectX 8 Automation feature (such as Sonar).
		Advanced graphical control view with limitless undo/redo of the following parameters: Note value, Pitch bend, Formant bend, Pitch modulation and Formant modulation.

Specifications:

		Handles 16 bit and 24 bit (32 bit float) audio formats
		44.1 kHz to 96 kHz sampling rates supported (tested at 44.1/48/88.2 and 96 kHz)
		Pitch detection range 50 Hz to 1000 Hz
		Correction to 60+ preset scales and any number of user definable scales (including microtonal).
		Autovibrato delay (before ramp starts) and ramp (to full modulation) times: 0.01 to 5.0 secs.
		Autovibrato modulation level set by LFO modulation setting (see below).
		LFO Waveforms: Sine, Triangular, Square, Saw positive/negative and Noise.
		LFO Frequency: 0.01 to 20 Hz
		LFO Modulation: 0 to 1200 cents
		LFO Offset: -100% to +100%
		Reference Frequency: 420.0 to 460.0 Hz
		Processed signal delay: 0 to 50 millisecs.
		Output “equal power” mix of processed and original signal.

Graphical correction:

		Note value graph from C0 to C7
		Pitch bend graph -24 semitones to +24 semitones (cent resolution)
		Formant bend graph -24 semitones to +24 semitones (cent resolution)
		Pitch modulation -100% to +100% (100% level given by LFO Modulation setting)
		Formant modulation -100% to +100% (100% level given by LFO Modulation setting)
		Apply current autocorrection setting onto Note value graph.
		Limitless undo/redo.
		Crossfade function between graph values and edited values to avoid pitch glitches.

How does it sound?

To examplify the operation of the Voice Tweaker Pro, you can here download an example where a vocal line is “setup” to sing a harmony. In left channel the vocal is tweaked up to follow a higher harmony, and right it is a lower harmony. Note that this is not possible simply by doing a static pitch transpose.
