Chapter 3: Recording Applications
The Voice Transformer algorithm can be used to change the sound of a recorded track. For
example, you can transform the pitch of a male vocal to a female, harmonize a track, or create a
wacky cartoon character from a voice over track. Using only the Formant parameter, it can be used
to fatten a vocal or bass track. The algorithm allows the user to edit the effect in real time using the
first 5 faders of the VS-880EX mixer.
