![]() So here is my instance of VocalSynth 2 MIDI, and I’ll play this, and watch and listen as I move this around. I should mention that I can add width and even affect the panning and gain of this instance of VocalSynth 2 from the visual mixer, which is right over here on my master buss. Have a listen as I bring this in and out of the mix.įinally, I added some width from the global output menu here, which affects the totality of my effects chain, and this was just to make the background vocals sound really epic and wide. It’s up to you.Īnd we also have vocoder, which is adding some robotic grit to this background vocal. You can blend and bring things in right from the animation itself here, or toggle it from the sliders. I also turned down Polyvox from the animation here, and this is just to give most of the power to the vocoder and BioVox modules. You can always do that by double-clicking, and this is just to protect from any pitch shifting with Polyvox. ![]() Next, I went to Polyvox and turned the formant slider here to its default. So have a listen as I turn the module on and off here. So aside from breathiness, adding the BioVox module to your module chain is a great way to add power, smoothness, and depth. I’ll bring up the breath slider as I play this vocal passage back. I added some breathiness with the breath slider to give the harmonies an ethereal quality. The first tweak I made was to engage BioVox, a module modeled after the human vocal tracked. Things sounded really good right away, but let’s go through the tweaked preset that I saved and talk about how we came up with the sound. You’ll notice as I flip back and forth between both of them, they’re not too different. ![]() Because we’re using MIDI, I started with the clear folder in the MIDI mode preset menu, and went for searching for symmetry, and then I made a few tweaks and came up with this tweaked Searching for Symmetry preset. You’ll notice that we have things divided into two categories, auto-mode presets and MIDI mode presets. I got this sound by starting with a preset which you can find in the global preset menu over here. Let’s talk a little bit about the sound of VocalSynth 2. So there it is right there, low harmony, Audio 65, make sure it’s check marked, and now you can pull out your MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard and play some notes. Now, this is going to be different depending on the DAW that you’re working in, but Logic makes it pretty easy. So once I had my low harmony track, the track that I knew I wanted to play, I went to VocalSynth and searched for it in these sidechain input options. In this case, the track is called, “low harmony,” and it’s over here. ![]() Then I headed to the sidechain options and chose the track that I essentially wanted to play with my MIDI keyboard. So now that I’m in MIDI mode, I followed the steps for MIDI setup in Logic, first by creating a new software instrument track, and then placing VocalSynth 2 on it. In fact, VocalSynth 2 automatically recognizes your DAW and gives you DAW specific instructions for how to route in either auto, MIDI, or sidechain mode. This gives me easy to follow instructions on how to setup MIDI mode in my DAW, which is Logic. ![]() So first, I’ve set my mode in VocalSynth 2 to MIDI mode. I’m going to play for you the beginning, and then the after, and then I’ll show you how I came up with this sound. I wanted to add some power and depth to the backing vocals during this pre-chorus. Now, the song I’m using today is called, “Your Eyes,” and it’s by Kylo. In this video, I’m going to share with you two ways to use VocalSynth 2 in a modern pop session. ![]()
