4Pockets Vocal Harmonizer/Soloist AUv3 Plugin for iOS

  • Note: This plugin is now available under the name Vocal Soloist.
    This is a preview of our Vocal Harmonizer due for release shortly but as usual just wanted to give everyone the heads up. It is capable of real-time pitch shifting and basic auto-tune and comes complete with built in vocal doubler and reverb effects.
    This effect was specifically created to track the incoming pitch of a monophonic vocal line and attempt to tune it to a specified scale. As such it is tuned to the frequency range of the human voice and probably not very useful for use on other instruments.

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  5 років тому +1

      This is more of a Harmonizer that creates a backing than something intended to transpose an orignal vocal. While it can perform basic autotune,, it has to work within the limitations of the device since we are attempting to do this real-time on a mobile device using as little CPU as possible. It's tuning is nothing like the complexity of Melodyne (which is truly great) but then only a fraction of the price.

    Amazing! Also if I may ask, you said that if you change the scale like to major, minor, etc do you need to add autotune to the backing vocal or does the harmonizer do that without it?
    Also does this harmonizer work like autotune? Like does it function like it? Like autotune analysis the vocal frequency and returns the right notes on the scale and key it was assigned (example: E Minor) does this work in a similar way? If you ask it to make a +1 semitone vocal does it analyze it and return a backing vocal that is within the scale? Just wondering. Great app btw! Love it! I can’t wait for even more amazing apps in the near future!

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  5 років тому

      Yes, you are correct, you select a scale and the Harmonizer shifts the audio in order to create harmonies in the selected key/scale. I will say that it is not in the same league as desktop plugins like melodyne etc. but it's good enough for adding background harmonies. Don't expect too much from the autotune. It's great for snapping to the nearest semitone or two but anything more than that can get a little unnatural, but in general it does a great job for the price.

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  5 років тому

      @UC68gzpXdPb0PUqAjFe87rMQ Both work together since auto-tune is essentially pitch shifting on a macro level. If you pitch shift the human voice too far it gets unnatural.

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  5 років тому +1

      @@djjuan963 Since nearly all the major and minor scales are no more than a semitone or two between notes this is fine, but you need to be careful if defining your own scales you don't go too crazy with auto tune. You can however use the Harmony knob to create fixed pitched harmonies at 1/3, 1/5 and even 1/7th etc. and they sound fine as harmonies (i.e. mix level less than half way). It's just the algorithm I used to get real time shifting is not as good as the one I used in my standalone Pitch Shifter plugin, but because it uses FFT's for superior sound, it also has a 100ms latency. It's swings and roundabouts. There is no such thing as the perfect pitch shifting algorithm sadly!

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  4 роки тому

      Hi Ann. I guess there are pitch shifters and there are harmonizers. A pitch shifter simply adds multiple voices at fixed intervals which is great but it doesn't fit into a musical scale. Harmonizer attempts to create a harmony given a key and scale (which you need to know in advance or by trial and error). It can however only create a single harmony. I'm not really sure of any other true harmonizers on the iPad. It does have built in help though so your in luck there.

    Also in your second example the harmonizer didn’t really do a great job tracking so it sounded kinda awful, how do we fix a problem like that? Because I wanna make sure this works or if it doesn’t I wanna know how to fix it, do we just raise up the smoothing knob or what? Thanks in advance sorry for commenting a lot.

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  5 років тому +1

      Thankfully most people don't sing 5 notes per second like Mariah does. The tracking simply can't cope when the singer doesn't lock onto a note. Don't forget this is not a dumb pitch shifter, it is attempting to track the vocal line and I'll bet most harmonizers would suffer similar problems in this case. The Harmonizer is there to provide backing, not replace a bad vocal. This means it is usually quieter than the actual main melody and small fluctuations are not noticed. The Smoothing is there to slow down the algorithm and prevent it changing pitch too quickly, but in this case I could have done with reducing the setting. If in doubt I'd stay clear unless you know the limitations of this kind of effect.

      Yes it will work, you need to pick SoloistFX from the Audio Unit Extensions tab. If you don't see it appear in this list try rebooting your iPad. On occasions AUv3 plugins fails to register on installation if you have certain DAW's running. A reboot of the iPad (HOLD POWER and VOLUME for 10 secs, then power down and back up again) causes plugins to re-register. You can also try removing from your iPad and re-installing if you prefer, but it should work fine. I've noticed people complaining it doesn't work on GB, but it works just fine if people know how to load external plugins.

    Hello Mr. Paul: harmonizer/soloist is useful to me when I only use small amounts of pitch shifting. But beyond these small amounts the formant and the distortion become a little bit not my cup of tea. I have seen your comments in other posts from 2-3 years ago, that I understand. Have been there any technical improvement during this period of time that could be applied now to at least soften a bit this issue? That would be useful for harmonizing, because I would add a bit more of wet signal to the output. Thanks a lot!

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  Рік тому +2

      This is a vocal harmonizer, not a pitch shitfer. As such it is meant to create vocal harmonies that are usually only a 3rd, 5th, 7th or an octave lower than the original vocal. It is intended to shadow the original voice, so it will sound poor against the original if shifted too far, or the mix is too high. Ideally you want a blend of the two. There really isn't any top quality harmonizers on the iPad because it is an expensive process, that uses lots of CPU. The only way to get higher quality is to throw more CPU at it, which is not a great solution.

    I have been testing Vocal Harmonizer vs Eventide QVox (using them as a auv3 in AUM). I much prefer Vocal Harmonizer for the scaling, autotune, smoothing, and the ability to turn notes on/off in the scale. I am able to get exactly the harmonies I need for live sax playing. However, I am not able to use it for live performance due to the extreme latency/lag. QVox has no perceptible latency/lag, and responds quickly. So, I am not convinced that the lag "cannot be helped." For my ears, 10 ms latency is not an issue, but 30 ms certainly is!
    TC-Helicon Voice Rack FX has a low-latency mode, and is also *very* fast ... but it has not been updated in years so has other problems. But it also convinces me that harmonizers can be designed that have low latency....

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  2 роки тому

      There are two issues we face when working with live audio, pitch detection, and pitch shifting. Both of these take time. To my knowledge there are 3 ways to perform pitch shifting, FFT, subtracting delays, and granular synthesis. The first two methods introduce delays but create a higher quality of sound. The last option 'gtanular' may be the way QVox works, but granular synthesis. Also the more accurate your pitch detection, the slower the processing, it's always a trade off. Eventide are also probably using proprietry methods developed over many years which us mear mortals are not aware of. I provide a similar harmonizer module in Neon, but it has no delay as its working on pre-recorded audio.

I think, perhaps, the fast, lower-quality methods may be good for live performance things like sax or trumpet, but not vocals. Vocals require more "work" and also formant treatments. Please consider a low-quality mode for low-latency "live performance" harmonizing, and let the user decide which mode works best for their application?

      Humanizer? No, the smoothing controls how quickly the transition of the harmony. So its more of an average of pitch detection frequency which is used to control the harmony. If this setting is low then it is possible that a false tracking could cause abrupt changes in the harmony, whereas high values can tolerate an occasional bad read etc. resulting in smoother transitions.

    Dear Paul
    I am John from Greece and interested to buy Vocal Soloist or Pitch Shifter
    I tried Qvox and Crystals but was not satisfied with the result .
    I play ney flute ( a turkish wind instrument ) , Boehm flute and harmonica .
    My main interest at this time is to achieve a specific result in harmony of a single melody line .
    For example if I play C4 in my flute , I want to sound a G3 and a G4 simultaneously with my C4
    meaning ( G3 - C4 - G4 ) .
    If I play B3 I want the result ( F#3 - B3 - F#4 )
    If I play Bflat3 I want the result ( F3 - Bflat3 - F4 )
    With other words I want to set specific static intervals meaning that I need to set a specific interval range and have it to remain STATIC regardless of the note.
    Is it possible in these two apps ? Vocal Soloist or Pitch Shifter ?
    If yes , I suppose that I can set 2 AUM channels with both inputs assigned to the same mic of an audio interface, then run on each a pitch with the corresponding values then assig both outputs of the channels to a BUS and another channel with its input taking the output of those 2 channels and that way I can add a little reverb or other Fxs….
    And something else . Why there is not a wet/dry option/knob in Pitch Shifter ?
    Thank you for helping Paul

    • @PaultheMusicMan
      @PaultheMusicMan  7 місяців тому

      No sadly it is not possible to do this as Soloist only produces a single harmony. Although Pitch Shifter can produce two harmonies at fixed intervals I wouldn't recommend it. The problem with any of these pitch shifters is that the shifted sound rarely sounds as good as the original, and these types of effect are used to ADD a background harmony. If you remove the original the results won't be very pleasing and will be accompanied by a slight processing delay. Take a look at Bleass Voices as it is a relatively new and highly configurable pitch shifter which may very well work well for you.

      But can I have a STATIC interval regardless of the note I play ?
      Or I have to be in a specific scale ?
      Can I do it without scales ?

Try turning off the HD option to decrease the latency and use as the highest sample rate you can 48K rather than 44K. Unfortunately GB is known to use some instruments with as low as 22KHz sample rates and they will get a much worse latency.
