Chapter 3: Recording Applications

Using the Voice Transformer

The Voice Transformer algorithm can be used to change the sound of a recorded track. For

example, you can transform the pitch of a male vocal to a female, harmonize a track, or create a

wacky cartoon character from a voice over track. Using only the Formant parameter, it can be used

to fatten a vocal or bass track. The algorithm allows the user to edit the effect in real time using the

first 5 faders of the VS-880 mixer.
