DirectX and VST plugins, Alien Solo, Clone Ensemble, Psycho Toolkit, Voice Trap
DESCRiPTiON:
Alien Solo
Alien Solo is a fully-featured monophonic synth that is controlled by
your voice. Sing, hum or doo-wop the lead or bassline and then dial up
the synth patch you want. You can also process other monophonic
sources, but the pitch tracking function is optimised for the human
vocal range.

Features:
+ Stable, accurate pitch and envelope tracking algorithm
+ Auto-tune feature to keep you right on the note
+ Dual analogue-stye oscillators with 5-octave transpose range
+ Mix, FM & ring mod modes
+ Vocoder-like morphing filter to apply your voice's characteristics
to the synth sound
+ Analogue-stye 2/4/6-pole filters with envelope follow and pitch
tracking control


Clone Ensemble
Whatever line you play or sing, Clone Ensemble will generate a room
full of up to 32 of you in unison or octaves. For vocals, you can
change the sex of some or all of the voices. You can dial up a
classical choir, a tight jazz chorus or an incredibly realistic ADT
effect.


Psycho Toolkit
Psycho Toolkit is a bundle of plugins that were largely unexpected
results of research while developing Clone Ensemble, Alien Solo and
Voice Trap. The tools are aimed at sound design rather than mainstream
audio production.

Psycho Toolkit includes:
+ Barnum Preamp - OTT warmth-adding analogizer thingy
+ Excitable Boy - aural enhancer / exciter that goes too far
+ Flip Speed - rectification-based and playback speed octave generator
with an attitude problem
+ Metal Demon - death metal vocal effect to defile the purest voice
+ Sick Puppy - seriously twisted wave-peak analysis distortion
generator
+ Trash Triode - vacuum tube and cheap amp construction kit
+ Water Glass - noise reduction and texture generation


Voice Trap
Back in the old days you could remove the vocal from a stereo track by
subtracting the left channel from the right.
+ You only got mono output,
+ The bass was missing,
+ The mix sounded terrible,
+ You could only remove the vocal, not isolate it,
+ It only really worked on old tracks, before they started using
stereo reverb.

Voice trap offers two sophisticated DSP algorithms:
+ FFT-based center channel suppression / isolation,
+ Cepstral liftering (an advanced technique that can identify
harmonically rich elements in a mix).

Together these allow Voice Trap to overcome those problems:
+ The output is stereo,
+ The bass frequencies are left untouched,
+ The mix is largely preserved,
+ You can choose to remove the vocal OR isolate it,
+ Good results possible on some modern tracks (ie, with stereo
reverb).
