Harmonizer Voices


Overview

Evoke’s Harmonizer Voices provide up to four resynthesized voices with individual tuning and mix controls, enabling rich, layered harmonies and other creative effects.


1. Voice Tabs

Each of the four voices can be accessed and enabled using the tab buttons at the top of the Harmonizer Voices area.

The current tuning settings are also displayed on these tabs, making it easier to see which voice is responsible for each harmony layer. Values are shown in semitones in Chromatic mode and in scale degrees in non-chromatic Scale Types.

2. Tuning Controls

Use each voice’s tuning controls to create multi-voice harmonies and transposition effects.

Interval. Sets the interval offset of the voice relative to the base retuned pitch. It is set in semitones in Chromatic mode and in scale degrees in non-chromatic Scale Types.

Octave. Shifts the voice up or down by a whole octave. This provides a wider pitch range and the possibility of easy octave stacking.

3. Tuning Mode

Each voice can use one of two tuning modes:

  • Fixed. Locks the voice to a constant note or interval, ignoring pitch tracking.

  • Track. Follows the detected pitch, so the tuning controls remain relative to the current retuned note.

The Fixed tuning mode is useful for creating static notes and chords, which can produce more synthetic-sounding effects. Try using a single voice with a very low fixed interval, then layer additional voices on top.

You can also modulate Interval in this mode to create pitch sequences independent of the input pitch.

4. Mix Controls

Level. Adjusts the volume of each voice in the mix. Use it to achieve the desired balance between voices, or modulate it to create rhythmic effects.

Pan. Positions the voice in the stereo field (left to right) to create spatial effects and improve separation between voices.

Try modulating Pan to create auto-pan effects. Pan each voice differently to build complex stereo movement.
