Featuring a complete graphical redesign and a new voice shaping module, iZotope VocalSynth 2 is a tool designed to transform an input signal – usually a vocal – into a creative, synthetic sound.

One instance of this plugin provides access to five separate vocal engines. You get the four modules of Vocalsynth original (Vocoder, Talkbox, Polyvox and Compuvox) and a new one called Biovox.

Biovox uses scientific modeling of the human vocal tract, allowing you to change aspects such as formants, vowel shapes and nasality in a smooth way. Use Biovox for subtly altered vocal duos when you only have a single vocal track, or utilize this module as an eccentric sound design tool.

The effects section has been updated to offer better sound quality, and two new pedal-style modules have been added to the mix: Chorus and Ring Mod, the latter also serving as a tremolo effect. As in the previous version of VocalSynth , you can use the plug-in in several modes, including Auto Mode (which does not require MIDI or sidechaining), MIDI Mode (which transmits the consonants, formants, and vowels of a sidechain inserted into the MIDI synthesizer); and Sidechain Mode (applying the vocal quality to an audio source, for example, an acoustic guitar).

This plug-in also allows intercommunication between the plug-ins of the iZotope , which means you can seamlessly integrate the VocalSynth 2 to Neutron 2, Ozone 8 and Tonal Balance Control. O VocalSynth 2 it can also be viewed and manipulated in Neutron 2's Visual Mixer and Masking Meter. This software is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms and supports AU, VST and AAX formats.
