TC-Helicon 996-450011 Overview

The VoicePro from TC Helicon is a profession voice processor that can be used in the studio, broadcast, for gaming applications and anywhere that high quality vocal manipulation is needed. The unit provides all the tools necessary for vocal production including harmony generation, intonation correction, pitch and time manipulation, formant changing and a full compliment of effects.

The VoicePro offers 24-bit/96kHz digital conversion with digital and analog I/O quality that rivals dedicated converter products. Tracking through a good microphone preamp into the unit's analog input stage provides better than 110dB (un-weighted) dynamic range in conjunction with rock solid jitter rejection.

Multiple output configurations are possible with stereo analog and eight channel AES/EBU outputs. The interface is designed to assist in the creative process through VoicePro's philosophy of browse-able application based presets. Each preset offers top-level assignable parameters to fine-tune a sound and navigating the interface makes creating all new presets an easy task.

Harmony
Long after the singer has given their best and left the studio, harmony parts can be built up and broken down again in order to find the perfect part
Harmony results can be used up front in the final master or interspersed with real voices
A digital output for each voice allows individual mix adjustment
Pitch and Time
Can add a fixed pitch shift for more authority or manipulate segments of a dialog track with Freestyle mode to alter inflection intensity.
Individual words or syllables can be extended or shortened, or a single phoneme can be frozen indefinitely
For gaming sound design, dialog editing or getting the best vocal take
Correction
Time spent on retakes to capture a pitch-perfect performance can be allocated to other aspects of the production when the singer's focus is primarily on delivery and emotion
Setup of correction can be done to a musical scale, keyboard input or a combination of both with a scrolling history view of input and corrected output pitch
Doubling
Doubling a voice in unison can add richness and punctuate lyric lines where desired.
Multiple types of doubling are possible by using µMod to get classic micro-shifted sounds, Harmony block for stereo stacked vocals or VirturaLead for natural or effected doubled parts
Character
Containing TC-Helicon's 3rd generation Voice Modeling algorithms, VoicePro can manipulate the character of a dialog track to produce fascinatingly strange and unique characters
Jingle singers looking to offer more personalities or artists looking to keep their sound consistent from year to year can make subtle tweaks to their vocal character
Special FX
Unique sounds for audio post, from aliens to monsters to dialog over a telephone are possible using a combination of blocks such as character and pitch
A transducer block allows any dialog track or effect to be filtered through emulations of telephones, radios, distortions and other quality reducing devices
Classic FX
Includes reverbs, tap tempo delays, stereo micro shifting and distortion
Can be used simultaneously as a vocal production center and an auxiliary effects processor for instrument tracks when the aux input is fed from a separate effects buss
