Introducing Harmony Engine - Vocal Modeling Harmony
Generator
The quickest, easiest tool for creating realistic
harmonies.
From the company that revolutionized professional
vocal production with Auto-Tune pitch correction technology,
Harmony Engine is a real-time harmony generating plug-in that
puts professional-quality vocal harmony arrangements within reach

With four independent harmony voices, a variety of powerful
harmony generating modes, humanization features for natural

harmony and vocal type, Harmony Engine provides incredibly

entirely new ways to create the harmony parts you hear in your
head. In fact, experimenting with different harmonies is so easy
(and, dare we suggest, fun), you may find yourself using Harmony
Engine to explore harmonic alternatives you may have never
otherwise considered.
