Chromatic mode for Vocal Bender

Feature Requests
1

Hello,

I do a lot of live HipHop stuff. Therefore Waves Tune Live and VocalBender are heavily used in SuperRack SG.

But I’m missing a “quantize chromatic” mode instead of sticking to one note. As there’s no ability to control VocalBender via keyboard there are many cases where I cannot do what I need to (but the very same FX is used in production, so the artists ask me to do so).

While you can automate the Pitch control as a workaround, it would be better if could quantise to chromatic, or even a scale.

I know they have WavesTune (RT) for these kind of purposes and extensive pitch control and editing I don’t think it would be a bad thing if there was just a little overlap between these plugins. Especially since the pitch tuning from Vocal Bender would sound less refined.

Hello there,

I understand the need for a quantize chromatic mode to provide more flexibility rather than sticking to a single note, especially when you can’t control VocalBender via keyboard. This feature would indeed enhance the ability to replicate the production FX artists are asking for during live performances.

This is something that Waves Tune RT is designed for. It also has better control how quickly and how tightly the vocals are tuned.

… if you can tell how you‘ll do formant shift with Waves Tune RT?

Vocal Bender is a totally differebt beast.
The „chromatic“ mode I‘m talking about is called „robot“ on Soundtoys Little le Alterboy (which is the one used in many HipHop productions) and isn‘t quite the same fx as hard tune which you are referring to.
Nor can you blend in the original vocal or you can’t shift the formant at the same time.

If you ever used a keyboard to alter the melody with Vocal Bender you‘ll get it.
Bender isn‘t hardtune (=Waves Tune RT in fast settings).

So still: chromatic mode for live use (SuperRack, as there is no possibility to map a keyboard to the midi in of a plugin) would be useful.
