Every module now has a drop-down Advanced view that fills the centre strip of the interface, replacing the Pitch/Voicing and Output sections, and visualiser, and giving access to a range of previously behind-the-scenes parameters. The second big new feature directly addresses one of our complaints about version 1. Overall, Biovox is a solid new addition to VocalSynth’s module rack. It certainly works, but given how profound and sweeping the effect is, it’s most effective as a corrective automation target, for spot-fixing unclear individual vowels. Opening Biovox’s Advanced view (see below) reveals the Vowel pad, which pulls the sound towards a specified blend of vowels. The Clarity knob alters the balance between the carrier synth signal and the vocal, affecting verbal intelligibility. The aforementioned new Biovox module models the human vocal tract, offering control over its length (formant Shift), Nasality and Breathiness. The original Wave Meter is still onboard, however, reinstated via the Options menu or the whole panel can be turned over to the XY controller.
While we love the eye candy of the new Anemone visualiser, though, which shows the effect of each module “based on Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients calculations” and serves as a level mixer, the actual information it relays isn’t all that useful. It looks great and is admirably easy to navigate. First, the GUI has been redesigned to match the style of iZotope’s other recent releases. That’s the overview, then, so let’s get into the new stuff.
