iZotope Creative Suite and VocalSynth 2 Now Available

Find your sound with seven innovative tools including music production’s most unique plug-in experience for vocals.

iZotope, Inc., Cambridge, MA - May 23, 2018 - iZotope, Inc., the experts in intelligent audio technology, released VocalSynth 2 and the iZotope Creative Suite. VocalSynth 2 offers an immersive vocal experience that adapts and evolves with a user’s unique style. iZotope Creative suite is a collection of exciting, inspiring products including Iris 2, Trash 2 Expanded, BreakTweaker Expanded, Stutter Edit, DDLY, Mobius Filter, and VocalSynth 2. With this release iZotope brings music production into the next evolution of vocal processing and a new suite of creative tools.   

VocalSynth continues to offer music producers tools to take a mix through past, present, and future vocal sounds with five  vocal processors including Vocoder, Compuvox, Polyvox, Talkbox, and now Biovox: a brand new effect based on the sonic qualities of the human vocal tract. iZotope has re-engineered VocalSynth to sound better, perform better, and provide a better result faster. New and updated effects can be found in the stompbox section including: Chorus, a commonly used vocal effect in vocal production and Ring Mod, a new ring modulator with a hint of tremolo. The  Shred effect also offers extensive improvements that make it more powerful for chopping, slicing, and achieving beat repeating effects.

“In its first iteration, VocalSynth was a go-to for getting the creative vocal effects emusic producers know and love inspired by decades of vocal production styles ,” says Kim Pfluger, Product Marketing Manager at iZotope. “ VocalSynth 2 builds on this by incorporating user feedback and pushing boundaries into a fun, new space of what vocal  plug-ins can do to shape new sounds in vocal production.”

The latest module in VocalSynth 2,Biovox, is a completely new effect based on a physical model of the human vocal tract, whose shape is continuously changing according to the input vocal signal providing a relatively neutral, clean-sounding modulation.  Biovox is built to sound great across multiple genres with vowel replacement which makes cleaner-than-human, modern phrasing possible.

Inter-plugin communication was first introduced in Neutron 2 and Ozone 8 allowing iZotope plug-ins to communicate across different tracks in a mix.VocalSynth represents the next step in this journey. Now users can explore even more creative possibilities with the ability to better understand the context of a track in a larger mix.  VocalSynth will be visible in Neutron 2’s Masking Meter and Visual Mixer as well as in Tonal Balance Control.
