The Next Generation Voice and Sonic Processing Tools

A suite of three ingenious processors using pioneering technology developed during the last decades by the sound analysis/synthesis team at IRCAM, with innovative signal transformation algorithms for altering sound characteristics such as; pitch, spectral timbre and duration to manipulate properties of a voice such as gender, age and breath.

Transformer - Real-time Voice and Sonic Modelling Processor

• Input/Output Gain: -60/+18 dB
• Dry/Wet mix control: For mixing in unprocessed signal with the processed signal.
• Mode: For selecting the type of algorithm used, Voice (vocals), Instrument (other instruments), Music (mixed music)
• Source: For setting the frequency ranges of the material to be processed, with a learn function for automatic analysis of the material.
• Target: Providing a range of options for the transformation of the source material.
• Remix: A mini-mixing console where the various components of the processed audio can be mixed before sending the signal to the output.
• Options: Controlling a number of parameters affecting the analysis-re-synthesis engine.
• Modulations: For some fun and more creative and expressive processing, two modulators are provided; one for modulating the Pitch (Transpose), and one for the Formant.
• Spectral Envelope: For complex remapping of the spectrum envelope, according to a freely definable curve.
• Filters: A two-band high/low pass filter section that can be applied to the incoming or the outgoing material.

Cross Synthesis - Spectral Envelope Morphing Processor

• Oversampling adjusts the oversampling factor
• Overlap controls how often the analysis is updated for a given window size
• Window Size determines the time-frame base used to extract time localized data in time from the incoming material
• Transient toggles transient processing on and off.
• Amplitude: For controlling how the output amplitude is affected by the left and right channels.
• Frequency: Controls the frequency content of the output with respect to the inputs.

Source Filter - Enhanced Sound Filtering

• Oversampling adjusts the oversampling factor
• Overlap controls how often the analysis is updated for a given window size
• Window Size determines the time-frame base used to extract time localized data in time from the incoming material.
• Temporal Envelope: Controls how much of the dynamics from channel 2 versus channel 1 will be imprinted onto the output signal.
• Spectral Envelope: Source and Filter track extraction and analysis.
• True bypass control routing the incoming signal direct to the output for a smooth transition between clean and processed signal
• Open Sound Control Support

Preset and Parameter Handling 

• Preset/Parameter slots
• To enhance the workflow the two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two full set of parameters at the same time. Apart from saving each preset, a “Global Preset” containing both the A and B settings and the position of the “Morphing Slider”, can be saved.
• Parameter Morphing Slider with Automation
• The Morphing Slider provides morphing between the parameter settings of slot A/B allowing for really creative and useful real-time tweaking. Enabling the Automation control button exposes the Morphing Slider to the host automation.
