Overview
The human voice is the most expressive musical instrument of all, and it's also the most challenging to recreate digitally because of its complex variable-formant characteristics. Mission accomplished with the VC-2. The second offering in the V-Card Series turns the V-Synth, V-Synth XT*, and VariOS into an advanced vocal-modeling processor -- from legacy vocoders to massive choir models with expression never before achieved in conventional voice-processing algorithms. Make your synth sing, howl, and growl like never before.
*V-Synth XT comes pre-installed with the VC-1 and VC-2 V-Card.
Features
Advanced vocal modeling; create background vocals, large or small ensembles, authentic or synthetic
Choir Modeler creates massive choral performances with words generated from your own voice
High-definition pitch detection algorithm allows voice models to be played from the pitch of incoming audio, such as singing vocalist -- no keyboard playing required
Poly-Voice Keyboard mode allows vocal sounds to be played without audio input -- no singing or mic input required

Pre-installed in the V-Synth XT
Build a virtual choir
Whether you need one voice or an amazingly authentic choir, the VC-2 can deliver the quality vocal backing you need. The VC-2's voice-processing modes allow the creation of realistic and expressive virtual vocals with words generated from your own voice. VC-2 is also equipped with Growl Modeling, which can turn the smoothest… read more voice into audio sandpaper. The ultra high-resolution vocoder modeling imparts incredibly smooth synthetic backing that matches today's cutting-edge dance music, while the legacy vocoder models can provide the perfect dose of retro "robot voice" charm.
Hands-on/hands-off vocals
As with traditional vocoders, the VC-2 processes incoming audio either from your vocals or other live audio input sources) along with the notes you play on the keyboard to create a custom performance. In addition, there are two other input methods in which to "play" your virtual vocals. The VC-2's Poly-Voice Keyboard mode allows vocal sounds to be played without audio input, or you can do the opposite with the VC-2's voice-to-synth converter, which contains an advanced pitch-detection algorithm that enables the modeled vocal sound to follow the pitch of your voice in real time -- no keyboard playing required. read less
