Waves have announced the release of Harmony - a new plugin that creates instant vocal harmonies—up to 8 voices—and allows you to personalise the character of each voice with pitch, formant, panning, delay, filtering and modulation. Here’s more from the press release…
Waves Harmony is a vocal harmony generator, layering tool and creative FX plugin that is simple, fun, and playable in the studio and on stage. It allows users – including those without complex knowledge of music theory – to harmonize a single vocal track in real-time, with up to 8 rich and beautiful voices.
Waves Harmony can also be utilized as an in-depth creative vocal FX palette in any production or mix. It is capable of quickly creating thick vocal stacks and exceptional doubling effects, as well as complex delay arrays, creative voicings, modulated melodies, and sequencing.
In Waves Harmony you have the choice of 3 workflow options.
“Playable” mode - connect a MIDI keyboard and play the chords in real-time to harmonize your voice – once you have set the key and scale, you cannot play a wrong note – it’s going to sound beautiful.
“Automatic” mode with the “Generate Notes” button which creates harmonies based on the vocal’s pitch – this is the easiest way to generate harmonies if you are not sure which chords to choose or play
“Graphical/Visual” mode - click to draw in harmonies on the graph and change them using snapshots.
Harmony creates drama to suit a multitude of musical genres: pop, hip hop, R&B, rock, country, folk, and many more.
Beyond harmonies, Waves Harmony is a powerful vocal FX palette in any production or mix. Efficiently layer thick vocal stacks and create exceptional doubling effects, as well as complex delay arrays, creative voicings, modulated melodies and sequencing. It also comes packed with 450+ plugin-presets to get your ideas flowing.
Waves Harmony is available now with a list price of $149 and is currently on sale for just $39.99 for a limited time.
