Vocoflex – Revolutionary New AI Vocal Plugin by Dreamtronics
AI-powered vocal manipulation is currently booming and flooding the market. There are plenty of web apps that can radically transform your voice into any other voice. Dreamtronics has taken this technology a step further and brought it right into your DAW. Dreamtronics has just launched the Vocoflex plugin, which utilizes real-time AI-powered voice creation and transformation. To be completely honest, we haven’t seen any vocal plugin as powerful as this one. Let’s dive right in to see what it has to offer:
Features
The Vocoflex plugin offers extensive vocal modification capabilities, allowing users to manipulate vocals limited only by their creativity.
After importing a vocal sample or selecting a generated vocal, users can transform them into curves; each curve is comprised of data points extracted from the sample file represented as dots. This plugin enables vocalists to create unique, real-time performances when using a live microphone. For users seeking a more hands-on experience, the plugin is compatible with MIDI controllers, allowing for custom mapping.
The best part is you don’t need hours of audio recordings to set a target voice. As long as the vocals are clean and free from artifacts or any effects such as reverb, or delay, 10 seconds of solo vocals are enough to set a target voice for Vocoflex.
The user interface is as simple as it can get. Morphing is also an integral part of this plugin. You can even import multiple target voices and play around with the center dot to juggle between different voice timbres of the target voices in real-time.
Users can blend voices to create unique and original tracks, alter the gender of vocalists, and generate vocal concepts for vocalists to utilize as references.
Voice Generator
Dreamtronics has taken a unique approach when it comes to voice generation. They have mapped color coding to the voice, allowing you to transform the vocals without using samples. The saturation of the color defines the gender, while the brightness defines the tone of the manipulated vocal. You might already be familiar with various formant shifting plugins, but this is something we haven’t seen before.
Synthesizer V Studio Pro x Vocoflex
Dreamtronics also has another great plugin called Synthesizer V Studio Pro. Using this plugin, you can create complete vocals from start to finish. All you have to do is add in some notes and lyrics within Synthesizer V Studio Pro, and then process the output with Vocoflex. There are plenty of options within Synthesizer V Studio Pro to help you achieve highly realistic vocals. The combination of V Studio Pro and Vocoflex is incredibly powerful.
Kanru Hua, the CEO of Dreamtonics stated regarding creating Vocoflex “We consequently discovered that using some clever statistical tricks, mapping the voice characteristics onto a 2D space and interpolating between, even extrapolating from them to create entirely new voices! This then led to figuring out how to reduce the latency and make it possible to perform in real-time – the voice equivalence of a DJ. A step further on from that, we then enabled connecting a MIDI foot pedal, and let the singer or actor take full control of the voice while singing or speaking so that all parts could be performed by the same person.“
Renowned music producer Alan Branch (Writer, Producer, and Engineer for U2, Jeff Beck, Beverly Knight & more) shared:
“Oh my word, Vocoflex is amazing!! I’ve been testing it today and it’s unbelievably good! So many useful options for vocal treatment, backing vocals, and harmonies when you have limited singers or voice types in a production!”
