AVOX 2 adds an additional five state-of-the-art vocal processing modules including the recently released Harmony Engine Vocal Modeling Harmony Generator; the new offering has the same MSRP as AVOX.

The Harmony Engine Vocal Modeling Harmony Generator (pictured) is a real-time harmony-generating plug-in that puts professional-quality harmony arrangements within reach of any songwriter, producer, musician or engineer.

The Mutator plug-in provides a combination of tools for creating unusual, weird or downright wacky voices with high-quality pitch-shifting, throat modeling, pitch-tracking ring modulator-based "mutation" and a Alienization function.

A modern-day version of the talk box, Articulator lets a user extract the formant and amplitude information from a vocal (or other dynamic source) and apply it to any other audio track.

Based on Antares' Tube plug-in, Warm warms up vocals with the company's analog tube-modeling technology while being processing-efficient.

Aspire modifies a voice's breathiness independently of its harmonic content. Whether reducing a bit of vocal rasp or adding a bit of smokiness, Aspire allows modifying the amount and quality of a voice's aspiration noise without affecting the vocal's harmonic characteristics.

AVOX 2 is available for RTAS (Mac and PC), VST (Mac and PC) and Audio Units (Mac) for an MSRP in the USA of $599. Upgrades are available to owners of the original AVOX bundle and Harmony Engine.
