Whatever type of musical performance you make, the next step towards captivating your audience is to energize your vocals. TC Electronic Helicon VoiceWorks Plus offers factory presets and features that will thrill your audience. A typical performance could start with a great basic sound created with the compressor, EQ and some subtle reverb then progress to doubling for a few vocal lines and then on to rich harmony to liven up the chorus of your song. An optional footswitch or a MIDI sequencer can be used to change presets while you play.

When it’s time to create an alternative personality for your vocals, such as when emulating another singer, making your voice richer without pitch shift, or singing like a cartoon character, voice modeling is the answer. You can mix it 100% wet to transform or mix the modeled voice with your dry voice for harmony, doubling or special effects. There are several aspects you can control that define this personality:
-Resonance and Spectral control – Combined in the product as “Frequency”, this group of styles help you shape the timbre, or tone quality
of your voice that goes far beyond standard equalization to redefine of your vocal tone.
-Glottal – these effect styles integrate breathiness, rasp and growl to your voice. At it’s most subtle, the Glottal effect can add a breathy
character to sung ballads. At its most extreme, anything you say is turned into a focused whisper.
-Pitch – the pitch of the modeled voice can be shifted up an octave or down two octaves and everywhere in between for octave doubling,
character transformation or diatonic harmony with a modeled voice.
-Inflection – also known as “scoop”, these short, generated pitch events help differentiate the modeling voice from your voice when they
are mixed together. Extreme settings can create hilarious characters.
-Vibrato – a set of vibrato styles from mild to wild help you conjure alternate characters more effectively.
