VoiceDesigner

VoiceDesigner is a versatile sound design plug-in that provides extreme pitch-shifting and morphing effects, using an external side-chain signal or the integrated sound generator. You can also use the plug-in to create robotic voices with just one click. The mixing section allows you to set different levels and frequency ranges for the dry, wet, side-chain, and generator signal.

Robot

Activates/Deactivates the robotic voice effect. The Whisper parameter allows you to soften the sound of the robotic voice.

Morph

Activates/Deactivates the morphing effect. The input signal is processed using characteristics of a side-chain signal or of the integrated sound generator. The Mode selector allows you to toggle between the two morphing modes A and B.

FX

Activates/Deactivates the Delay and the Feedback sound effects.

Delay

Adds a delay to the signal.

Feedback

Adds feedback to the signal.

Transition

Allows you to morph the input signal into the side-chain or generator signal. The slider sets the morphing amount. This parameter is only available in morphing mode A.

Response

Sets the response time of the morphing algorithm. Fast response settings preserve fast changing transients of the input signals, such as consonants in speech signals. Slower response settings lead to blurry, pad-like sounds. This parameter is only available in morphing mode B.

Swap

Swaps source and target for the morphing effect. This parameter is only available in morphing mode B.

Resolution

Sets the resolution of the morphing signal. Lower values result in a more rhythmical sound. Higher values preserve the intelligibility of speech signals.

Generator shape selector

Lets you choose the characteristic of the internal sound generator. White Noise and Pink Noise, and Square and Sawtooth waveforms are available.

Frequency

Sets the frequency for the Square and Sawtooth waveforms of the internal sound generator.

Detune

Changes the pitch of the input signal.

Formant

Changes the natural timbre of the input signal.

Preserve

Keeps the formants when changing the pitch with the Detune control.

Spatial

Adds an ambience effect by using slightly different settings on all channels.

Dry

Sets the level for the dry input signal. The slider below allows you to set a low-cut and high-cut filter for the input signal.

Generator/Side-Chain

If external side-chain is activated, this control sets the level of the side-chain input. If external side-chain is deactivated, it sets the level for the internal sound generator. The slider below allows you to set a low-cut and high-cut filter for the generator or side-chain signal.

Wet

Sets the level for the effect signal. The slider below allows you to set a low-cut and high-cut filter for the effect signal.

Output

Sets the output level.

Output meter

Shows the level of the output signal.
