Vari-phrase style vocal processing

[jasedee]

Hey all,

Went into a shop today and had a little spin on the V-Synth (Fuck I love that machine!), anyways, I was trying out the Vari-Phrase vocal pitch shifting stuff (Fuck it sounds awesome!) and was wandering:

Are there any plugs or hardware that can achieve the same results ie: Shifting pitch without speeding up

Cheers!

Kontakt does a pretty good job. I really wanna try Kontakt 2 before outlaying the cash on a V-synth, as it has an upgraded time-stretch section. Kontakt 1 just doesn't have the quality when compared to the V.

If Kontakt 2 sounds better, then I may even opt for that instead of the V-synth. I do love the user interface of the V-synth, but I'd save a heap of cash for other stuff if I bought Kontakt2 instead.

Hi,

Yes, take a look at Cakewalk Sonar 5.

for amazing processing and pitch shifting there is only one company who beats everyone and that is Eventide.
but be ready to spend much more then a Vsynth for a new unit.

Better have a boss system to run kontakt 2 on. it is a cpu hog for sure.

Yeah I've read about a few CPU issues too actually. Chances are I'd run it on a seperate machine now days though.

Do you have it Merlot? What's the quality of the realtime pitch/formant shifting like?

OK, fellas, what about Melodyne by Celemony?

A few hundred bucks for a software app (Uno is the cheap version) could save you thousands on a V-Synth...

...at least temporarily anyway.

Thanks for the tip-offs felllas!

HC,
dont own it, but have read about it on alot of boards. One common thing i am reading is what a cpu hog it is. But the proof is in the pudding. Onboard is a convolution reverb, not to mention the scripting you can do. . . .

Isn't that plug in that will be with sonar 5 modeled after the vp-9000 by roland. THat would be a nice upgrade if I was a PC user.
