Monophone voice
This is a special timestretching and pitchshifting function for vocal solos, speech, or solo instruments. The
material cannot contain background noise, and excessive reverb may also be detrimental to its effects.
With suitable material the audio quality is very high.
With the "Use formant correction" option the formants remain the same when pitchshifting, i.e. the
"Mickey Mouse effect" does not occur. This way, realistic background choirs can be "composed" from
just one solo voice. However, the formants can be shifted by +/- 12 half tones, and vocal distortions can
result.
Typical usage of this algorithm:

Intonation correction: The note with the imprecise pitch should be cut out as an object, so that it
can be manipulated independently of the other notes.

Harmonizer effects: An object with vocals can be copied and moved down. If the pitch is
changed, then the second voice will be changed, etc.

Generating background vocals from existing vocal samples

Timestretch/Distortion of a speech sample, to make a "grandfather" voice.
Recommended for speech, single voice vocals, single voice instruments without overlapping, with low
reverb and low background noise.
