Alienization function, MUTATOR Evo is the
perfect tool for unique special vocal effects and
post-production sound design.
WARM Tube Saturation Generator
Based on Antares’ legendary (at least among
those of us who work here and, based on
the volume of emails we’ve gotten since we
discontinued it, a fair number of others as well)
Tube plug-in, WARM, warms up your vocals
with Antares’ world-renown tube modeling
technology, while being so processing-efficient,
you can put an instance on pretty much every
track in your project and still barely see your
CPU meter twitch. (And yes, that’s probably the
longest single sentence in this manual.)
ASPIRE Evo Aspiration Noise Processor
ASPIRE Evo is the world’s first tool for modifying
a voice’s breathiness independently of its
harmonic content. Whether reducing a bit of
vocal rasp or adding a bit of smokiness, ASPIRE
Evo lets you modify the amount and quality of a
voice’s aspiration noise (the component of every
voice that’s the result of air passing over the vocal
chords) without otherwise affecting the vocal’s
harmonic characteristics.
What’s New in AVOX Evo
The following are the key new features that have
been added in AVOX Evo:
Core algorithms rewritten to incorporate
Evo™ Voice Processing Technology
During the development of Auto-Tune Evo,
the latest version of the worldwide standard
in professional pitch correction, Dr. Andy went
back to the proverbial drawing board to create a
seriously evolved voice processing technology
that takes advantage of the hugely more powerful
computers that are now the norm for digital audio
recording.
The result was Evo™ Voice Processing
Technology, setting a new standard for pitch
detection, pitch shifting, and throat modeling that
is substantially more accurate and reliable over a
much wider range of audio input quality.
Now we’ve turned our attention to incorporating
Evo Technology into the AVOX plug-ins.
The result is an entirely new level of sonic
performance. With faster, more accurate pitch
detection, smoother, artifact-free pitch shifting,
and seamless, natural-sounding (if you want it to
be) throat modeling, AVOX Evo plug-ins just work
better. Leaving you free to focus on creating your
music.
Redesigned User Interfaces
The original 5 AVOX plug-ins have been
redesigned to be consistent with the current
Antares interface design language.
In addition, some key new features have been
added to selected AVOX Evo plug-ins:
Harmony Engine Evo
INTEGRATED CHOIR EVO: Harmony Engine Evo
now includes five integrated channels of our
unique CHOIR Evo Vocal Multiplier, to let you turn
the input voice and/or each harmony voice into
2, 4, or 8 distinct individual unison voices, each
with its own pitch, timing and vibrato variations.
Perfect for creating entire choirs out of a single
vocal line.
THROAT Evo
PITCH SHIFT: Added the ability to shift the pitch
of the voice up or down an octave in semitone
intervals. In combination with the improved throat
modeling, this allows a much wider variety of
potential voice design.
ARTICULATOR Evo
METERING: Added input level meters to the
Audio Signal and Control Signal input module.
Added output level meters with clip indicators
to the Audio Signal and Control Signal output
module.
MUTATOR Evo
TEMPO-SYNCED ALIENIZATION: Added the
option to sync the Alienization “Dialect” rate to
the project tempo (or various divisions of the
tempo).
