A Complete Vocal Toolbox

Want to establish your own signature vocal sound? With five powerful vocal engines onboard, iZotope VocalSynth 2 is what you need to get the job done. VocalSynth 2 has been completely redesigned, featuring more power, a revamped interface, and better CPU optimization than its predecessor. You also get tons of presets to help you get up and running fast. Manipulate a vocal's nasality, vowel shapes, and formant using VocalSynth 2's Biovox tool. Enhance your production with quality stompbox-style vocal effects. Three modes of operation give you an incredible level of flexibility. VocalSynth 2 features inter-plug-in communication with iZotope's Neutron, Ozone, Tonal Balance Control, and more.

VocalSynth 2 has five powerful vocal engines onboard

iZotope spec'd VocalSynth 2 with five powerful vocal engines: Vocoder, Compuvox, Polyvox, Talkbox, and Biovox. These work in tandem with VocalSynth 2's stompbox-style vocal effects and streamlined control set. VocalSynth's wavetable synthesis or a sidechained instrument are ideal starting points for synthesized computer-esque voices, organic-sounding harmonies, glitchy digital spoken work, and singing synthesizers. You can also manipulate the human vocal tract, adjusting characteristics like nasality, vowel shapes, and formant, to better tailor a vocal to your project.

5 vocal engines:

  • Vocoder
  • Compuvox
  • Polyvox
  • Talkbox
  • Biovox
VocalSynth 2

Stompbox-style effects and pitch correction

To define the sonic character of your vocals, VocalSynth 2 is equipped with powerful stompbox-style effects, including variable distortion, filtration, beat-repeating, speaker convolution modeling, stereo delay, chorus, and ring modulation. Also onboard is real-time pitch correction that corrects off-key notes while preserving the original voice formants (rather than scaling them along with pitch) for natural-sounding results. These drag-and-drop effects can be chained in any order, giving you complete control over your final sound.

7 vocal effects:

  • Filtration
  • Distortion
  • Beat-repeating
  • Speaker Convolution Modeling
  • Stereo Delay
  • Chorus
  • Ring Modulation

Voice generation and presets

In Auto mode, VocalSynth's voice generation capabilities let you stack octaves, harmonies, or unisons — all without MIDI input. Simply select the number of voices, and what intervals you want, and VocalSynth 2 does the grunt work. If you prefer, though, you can drive VocalSynth 2 with your MIDI controller for the precise harmony voicings you're after. Or use Sidechain mode to drive VocalSynth 2 with any audio signal. And if you're after instant gratification, VocalSynth 2's presets give you immediate access to the sounds of legendary vocal production techniques you've heard on your favorite recordings.

Part of the iZotope ecosystem

Like Neutron, Ozone, and Tonal Balance Control, VocalSynth 2 features inter-plugin communication, so you can seamlessly integrate it with the rest of your production and analysis software. You can view VocalSynth 2 within Neutron 2’s Visual Mixer and Masking Meter and also within Tonal Balance Control, allowing real-time interaction and visual feedback. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the efficient workflow we get from iZotope software.

It’s a Great Vocoder

I used to have The Mouth vocoder from Native Instruments on my MacBook Pro and somehow I lost the plugin and can't download it again. I was look for a vocoder plug in to use to get some great effects with the vocals I recorded of myself. I went ahead and impulse bought this yesterday, started recording myself speaking and inserted this onto my input chain in Ableton. I couldn't believe how awesome it sounded. Some of the presets sounded ok, didn't provide clarity for me to hear all the words, and when I increased the gain on the vocal wave forums, the vocoder never increased the output volume. However, that didn't mean I hated the vocoder all together as it sounded better than The Mouth and I will be experimenting more with it and create my own presets.

A Terrific Tool

Once you get through the nightmare of installing an activating an iZotope plug-in, the fun begins. VocalSynth 2 is a really versatile tool and allows us to create some really interesting manipulations of the human voice. Lots of great pre-sets help one explore the many things it can do.
Rated 5/5

Far more advanced than original VocalSynth

Izotope really stepped up the game with the VocalSynth 2. I had the earlier version of VocalSynth and I thought it was a really fun plugin. However, the version 2 of this plugin is a blast to play with. I won't go into a review of each of the modules since there are great detailed reviews in online music magazines. Some of the features that I really enjoy are MIDI control of voices, ability to set key and pitches, and the ability to control the various modules with a cool visual graphic that assigns a color to each of the modules. I have been a fan of Izotope for some time now, and I really enjoy the innovation and quality they put into each plugin design. Easy to install and easy to use. Also, Izotope has a great updater they call Product Portal which keeps all of my Izotope plugins up to date.

Great Vocoding Option

I produce through the DAW Logic Pro X and while they have their own plug-in for vocal effects, I was warmed up to using Izotopes as it just seemed easier and had more options for tweaking. Sweetwater had a sweet deal on this and I'm so glad they did as it's made my flow a lot faster in creating vocal melodies and chops. I took off half a star as it is a bit rough on my CPU.
