Waves Audio has announced that its now shipping the new Waves Harmony plugin, designed to allow users to quickly create vocal harmonies of up to eight voices generated from a single voice as well as to personalize the character and texture of each voice with built-in pitch, formant, panning, delay, filtering and drag-and-drop modulation.
Harmony enables users to take a solo vocal and immediately surround it with multi-part harmonies, spread among low and high, male and female, light and heavy. Users can also audition sounds styled after artists such as Kanye, Jacob Collier, Ty Dolla $ign and Imogen Heap in their song or perform them live in real time.
Harmony provides three choices of workflow:
— Automatic mode: To have the plugin create harmonies on any vocal, users scroll through a bank of chord presets and select what they like, which is the easiest way to generate harmonies.
— Playable MIDI mode: Users can connect a MIDI keyboard and play notes or chords in real time to harmonize their voice.
— Graphical mode: Click to draw in harmonies on the visual display—arrange, tune, shift formant, delay, filter and pan—then adjust per song section using snapshots.
Harmony is also a vocal FX palette where users can efficiently layer thick vocal stacks and create doubling effects as well as complex delay arrays, creative voicings, modulated melodies and sequencing.
Harmony is included in Waves Mercury, SD7 Pro Show, Pro Show and Vocal Production bundles. Go here for more specifics.
