MUTATOR Extreme Voice Designer

A powerful tool for special vocal effects and post-production sound design.

Mutator provides a combination of sound design tools for creating unusual and otherworldly voices. With high quality pitch shifting, throat modeling, ring modulator-based mutation, and a mind-bending tempo-synced alienize function, Mutator is the perfect tool for unique vocal effects, character design, and post-production sound design.

Mutators’s voice processing tools are divided into three sections. The voice design section lets you use our unique throat modeling and pitch shifting technologies to craft the basic characteristics of your voice.

The mutate section lets you transform and mangle that voice into a variety of strange creatures, with 24 different varieties of “mutation” created with pitch-tracking ring modulation.

Finally, the alienize section gives your vocal track the quality of an alien language by chopping it up into small segments and playing each segment in reverse. You can even create your own unique language by varying the length of the speech segments, or syncing them to the tempo of your track.

Mic Mod EFX Classic Microphone Modeler

Make the mics you own sound like the mics you wish you owned.

Mic Mod is the microphone modeling tool that makes the mics you own sound like the mics you wish you owned.

Instantly expand your mic locker with models of vintage mics from Neumann, AKG, and others, plus a wide selection of modern boutique mics. Mic Mod includes precise digital models of over 100 legendary microphones. Just tell it what mic you’re using and what mic you want it to sound like.

Mic Mod not only reproduces all of the subtle sonic characteristics that make each microphone unique, it also gives you control of each mic’s specific options. Does the mic have a low cut filter? If so, it’s in the model. Close or far placement? Just dial in the proximity control. Each option results in the same sonic effect that it would have with the actual mic. For that final touch of perfection, you can even add some tube saturation.

Mic Mod gives you a huge virtual microphone collection that you can use for recording, mixing, and even in live performance to get the sound of mics you would never consider using on stage. It’s also a great tool for broadcast and podcasting applications.

ARTICULATOR Digital Talk Box

Recreate the sound of classic talkbox effects.

Articulator is a modern digital version of the classic talk box, made famous on recordings by artists like Peter Frampton, Zapp, and Bon Jovi. Perfect for talking guitars, singing synths, and a wide range of special effects.

If you’ve ever seen a guitarist with a plastic tube in their mouth and a guitar that sounds like it’s talking, then you have a basic idea of what a talk box is. A physical talk box works by applying a filter (the human mouth) to an audio signal (usually a guitar or synth).

Articulator models this process by extracting the formant and amplitude information from a vocal track and applying it to another audio track or to its built-in noise generator in real time.

Articulator also features a built-in EQ, a formant modulation section, which lets you sculpt your vocal sound using our throat modeling technology, and an amplitude modulation control, which lets you dial in exactly how much of the effect you want on your track.

WARM Tube Saturation Generator

Model the sound of vintage analog tube saturation

Nothing warms up a vocal track (or pretty much any track) like being recorded through a high quality analog tube preamp. And thanks to Warm, you can add this tube warmth to every track in your mix.

Warm offers the choice of two different tube models. Velvet​ ​tube​ gives you the subtle effects of classic tube saturation. While most often used for adding warmth to vocals, it sounds just as good on acoustic guitar, horns, strings, synth pads, or pretty much anything. Crunch​ ​tube​ gives you the deep, warm distortion of an overdriven tube amplifier. You can crank it up for an “industrial” vocal sound, or as an effect on guitar, bass, or synths.

Warm’s unique Omni Tube​ feature lets you apply tube saturation to the entire signal, instead of just the transients, as is typically the case with a tube preamp.

And since Warm is extremely DSP​ ​efficient​, you can use it on an almost unlimited number of tracks simultaneously. Once you start using Warm, you’re going to want it on almost everything.

ASPIRE Aspiration Noise Processor

Perfectly control the breathiness from a vocal performance.

Aspire is the world’s first tool for modifying a voice’s breathiness independently of its harmonic content. With Aspire, you can match a vocal quality to a performance style by decreasing or increasing​ a voice’s natural​ breathiness​.

Aspire analyzes a vocal in real time and separates the aspiration noise (breathiness) from the harmonic content. It then allows you to adjust the amount of aspiration noise, and affect its character independently by applying a parametric​ EQ​ to the noise component. It also includes a real-time display that lets you visualize the effect of the aspiration noise processing.

Whether reducing vocal rasp or adding a bit of smokiness, Aspire allows modification of the amount and quality of a voice’s breathiness—without affecting the vocal’s harmonic characteristics.

THROAT Physical Modeling Vocal Designer

Sculpt a singer’s vocal qualities with an adjustable model of the human vocal tract.

Throat is a revolutionary plug-in that lets you process your vocals through a meticulously crafted physical model of the human vocal tract, so you can literally design your own vocal sound.

Though designed to allow subtle modifications in vocal quality, the range of controls also allows for vocal tract models well beyond the limits of physical human anatomy, offering the possibility of vocal characteristics that are unattainable in the real world.

Throat’s controls allow you to modify the voice’s glottal waveform as well as globally stretch, shorten, widen or constrict the modeled vocal tract. For detailed control of the vocal sound, the graphical throat shaping display allows you to individually adjust the position and width of five points in the vocal tract model, from the vocal cords, through the throat, mouth, and lips.

DUO Vocal Modeling Auto-Doubler

The quickest, easiest way to create realistic vocal doubling.

Doubling is one of the best techniques for fattening up a lead vocal or giving it extra depth. And Duo is the easiest way to enhance vocals with a realistic doubled vocal part—automatically generated from your existing vocal.

In addition to programmable variation in pitch, timing and vibrato depth, Duo includes adjustable vocal timbre modeling, so you can create a doubled part that sounds like the same person as the lead vocalist—or like someone else entirely.

It also gives you independent control of the level and pan of the original and doubled voices, so you can craft the perfect stereo mix.

Just put Duo on your vocal track, and adjust the variation parameters and output controls to create exactly the doubling effect you’re looking for Instant doubling.

CHOIR Vocal Multiplier

Turn a single voice into up to 32 individual unison voices.

CHOIR​​ is a unique vocal processor that turns a single monophonic voice into a lush choir of 4, 8, 16, or 32 distinct individual unison voices, each with its own pitch, timing and vibrato variations.

CHOIR accomplishes its magic with just a few simple controls. Choir​ ​Size​ allows you to select the number of individual voices that will be generated from the original voice. The Vibrato Variation​, Pitch​ ​Variation​, and Timing​ ​Variation​ controls allow you to control the amount of subtle variation applied to each of the generated voices. Finally, the Stereo​ ​Spread​ ​control lets you spread the voices across the stereo field.

CHOIR is the perfect tool for quickly and easily turning a single voice into a group of voices, each with its own unique character. When multiple instances of CHOIR are assigned to individual harmony parts, the result is an amazingly realistic large vocal ensemble.

Sybil​ is designed to tame excessive vocal sibilance (ess, tsss, ch, and sh sounds), with a flexible compressor and a variable-frequency high pass filter to ensure optimum de-essing for any vocal performance.

The compressor​ section includes threshold​, ratio​, attack​ and release controls, and the high-pass​ frequency control lets you adjust which high frequency content will get compressed, to ensure that the sibilance is reduced while the rest of the voice remains pristine.
