SoniVox unveils Vocalizer, a vocal production synthesizer

SoniVox (http://www.SoniVoxmi.com) is offering a pre-release preview complete with MP3 and video examples of the first instrument from their new Nemesyth Audio Research Group, Vocalizer. It’s a vocal production synthesizer.

Vocalizer couples a new technology synthesis engine with an open input based architecture. It’s one part effect plug-in and one part virtual instrument, according to the folks at SoniVox. Vocalists, non-vocalists, and producers feed Vocalizer any audio source, and it re-pitches, effects, and re-synthesizes the original source into a whole new sound.
