I've been using the Vocal Transformer plug-in in Logic/MainStageto layer my vocal in real-time, by using the 'robotize' function to keep
wet signal to a pitch (F, F#, G, etc.) while retaining the formants, mixed
with the dry to have a choir-like sound (two-part harmony).
Harmonizer For Saxophone
Also, I've mapped some notes from the keyboard to shift the pitch ofthe altered vocal, so I can control the harmonies.
It would be great to be able to do this all in Live. Specifically, I want
to prepare and trigger MIDI clips to change the altered vocal pitch,
depending on the part of the song. Does anyone know of a AU plugin
or M4L device that would achieve this effect?
Most I found were straight pitch-shifting, which doesn't work for me
because the altered vocal moves with the original. With the 'robotize'
function in Vocal Transformer, I can sing different notes and the altered
vocal keeps to the specified pitch.
