ImproVox: Real time harmonization for iPad and iPhone


ImproVox is a very impressive looking app, and I'm really looking forward to trying it out soon. I don't think there's anything quite like this for iOS as yet, so it'll be interesting to see what it is like to use.


Here's the app's description:

ImproVox is a new vocal instrument. Real-time pitch correction and harmonization enable you to create lush harmonies as you sing - and always sound in tune! Add vibrant textures with effects like reverb, echo, and flanger, record your performance and share it with friends.

Harmonies and effects are controlled via two large touch pads. Changing the sound of your voice is as easy as moving your fingers across the screen, and you don’t need to know any music theory. Because effect and harmony characteristics can be changed while you sing, the sonic possibilities are endless. Create reverberant rock hits and cavernous choral compositions, or just speak into the mic and transform your voice using abstract effects.

Never before have so many powerful features been bundled into one easy-to-use App. With state-of-the-art audio processing and a sophisticated yet intuitive feature set, it’s both easy to enjoy and a challenge to master. Controls are simple and immediately gratifying, while recording and sharing is easy and straightforward. With 5 unique harmony styles and 8 different effects to choose from, you can make your music as simple or complex as you choose. All it takes is the desire to explore -- and create.

Features Include:
  • Real-time vocal pitch correction
  • Real-time 4-part harmonization in varying styles (Choral, Pop, Barbershop, Jazz, Baroque)
  • Customizable key and scale selection (with a voice-controlled key selector)
  • Traditional effects - reverb, echo, stutter, and cavern
  • Abstract effects - ring modulator, bit crusher, flanger, and auto-wah
  • Change and mix any harmony style and effect while you sing
  • Shake the device to set echo times
  • Recording capabilities with .m4a file-saving
  • Sharing capabilities via the device's email client or iTunes document sharing.
For iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS
Headphones required; supports ear bud headsets with mic and traditional headphones

I really wish there was some video online... or anything that could help display what the app does and how it sounds.

I found a video of this on YouTube, and based on that purchased it. It is freakin' fantastic! It has very low latency, and the quality of the harmonies is first class. I put a good review up on the app store (under moondreamer) if you want to read more of my early comments, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy this one if you want to process vocal harmonies in real time. Rarely do I buy a 1.0 version of an app that impresses me this much....
