Mu Voice is the award winning plug-in by Mu Technologies that allows you to
tune your vocal recordings, apply special effects and add natural sounding
harmonies when mixing your track. The proprietary spectral analysis and
synthesis techniques set new standards in vocal processing providing a
unique tool for your recording studio. Tedious pitch curve editing is
history now. An internal delay of only 5.8 ms makes Mu Voice the ideal
vocal processor to perform live on stage
Key features:
Intelligent Harmonizing: An "intelligent" harmonizer takes into account the
musical context of a piece like chord and scale information. This is
exactly what Mu Voice does. A four track mixer allows to configure the
voicing (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th voice) and octave for each channel.
Scale / Chord Selection: The chord panel offers a straight-forward
interface to select chords. When a given key signature is selected, the
diatonic series of chords is displayed. By clicking the chords and
modifiers, a chord is selected for harmonization.
Chord Scheme Editing: Chords can be added to a scheme by pressing the
"Insert" button or double clicking them. By clicking an item in the scheme
one can navigate through a chord scheme.
Mixer: The mixer combines all four track and allows to mute certain
channels with the [M]-button. The first channel can be put in bypass ([B]
button). A pitch shift slider adds an extra interval to the channel. The
range of the shift slider is expressed in half tones can be quantized by
pressing the [Q]-button.
Tuner: Mu Voice comes with a built-in tuner that has a parametric impact
(0: no impact, 1: full impact). The tuner has two modes: "Chromatic": tune
to the closest half note "Scale": tune to the closest note in the current
scale
Channel FX: In addition to the voicing configurator, the gain control and
pitch shifter, each track has additional set of FX: Pan: To abtain a
realistic spatial positioning, the panner uses interaural delays and an
interaural gains that are based on psychoacoutic measurements. The panning
parameter corresponds with the angle relative to the listeners nose.
Humanizing: When the pitches of the harmonies are coupled too tight, they
might interfere and be perceived as a single distorted voice. The
"humanization" parameter solves this problem by adding very slight random
pitch variations and an additional delay. Formants: The formants determine
the "timbre" or "color" of the voice. When the pitch of the Voice is
altered, the formants are maintained. One can disable the formant
correction by pressing the green button next to the slider. The formant
slider controls a linear scaling of the formants and alters the colour of
the voice. By shifting the pitch up and scaling the formants, the voice of
a women can be changed to the voice of a young girl. Filters: Mu Voice
offers a number of filter presets; high-pass, band-pass, comb-filters,
notch filters ... Harmonic EQ-ing: The proprietary spectral analysis
technique on which Mu Voice is based, allow to control the amplitude of
each harmonic in the sound. We named this effect harmonic EQ-ing. A number
of presets are provided that illustrate this unique feature.
Preset Management: To keep the large number of control parameters
manageable, all parameters that are not related to the chord scheme can be
saved in presets. By selecting a preset, configuring the parameters and
pressing the 'Save'-button, the preset is stored. When a preset is selected
and the 'Apply'-button is pressed, the preset is loaded. Presets can also
be added to the chord scheme by pressing the 'Insert'-button.
Full Automation: The progression of chords and presets can be fully
automated in two steps Write Mode: The plug-in is put in read-mode by
pressing the [W]-button above the chord scheme. When you select a starting
point and press the right arrow on your keyboard, you will move to the next
position is the scheme while the timing of this event is recorded. Read
Mode: The plug-in is put in read-mode by pressing the [R]-button above the
chord scheme. The plug-in will synchronize itself to the host time so that
it becomes fully automated.
MIDI Controls The MIDI enabled version gives you full control from a
keyboard, making it an excellent tool to perform live. Use it from a real-
time host like Ableton Live, Apple MainStage, ... Key features: A state-
of-art chord recogntion system to control the scale and chord over time.
Preset Selection Chord scheme navigation Do not worry about the fact that
your keyboard has only 48 keys, the plug-in can be configured for any
keyboard.
Sample Rate Support Mu Voice supports the following sample rates: 44.1 kHz-
48 kHz - 88.2 kHz - 96 kHz - 176.4 kHz - 192 kHz
XML based file exchange: The plug-in state, chord scheme and presets can
all be saved in XML. This makes the configuration of your plug-in readable,
editable and portable over all platforms.
SIMD Optimizations: Mu Voice is highly optimized exploiting special
processor instruction sets like SSE for Intel processors
Extra Info: Mu Voice uses two data files, W.dat and Y.dat. When it can't
find them is generates them automatically. Therefore, when you launch the
plug-in for the first time it will take a while to appear. From there on it
will launch smoothly.
Mu Voice works strictly for monophonic audio material !!!
