Antares Harmony Engine £209

It's one thing to create a plug-in that generates vocal harmonies, but quite another to make these harmonies sound realistic...

Harmony Engine gives you four different voices to work with.

Manufacturer's description

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 of any songwriter, producer, musician or engineer.

With four independent harmony voices, a variety of powerful harmony generating modes, humanization features for natural sounding performances, and a flexible real-time preset system for harmony and vocal type, Harmony Engine provides incredibly easy-to-use tools to quickly and easily produce virtually any vocal arrangement you can imagine.

Whether you're an experienced vocal arranger, a songwriter looking for that perfect backup vocal, or a composer experimenting with unique vocal effects, Harmony Engine gives you 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.

3.5 of 5

Pros

Four independent harmonies. Different methods of operation. Tools for increasing authenticity.

Cons

Can sound artificial.

The bottom line

Although Harmony Engine is an interesting release, it's a little more 'virtual' than it is 'reality' at the moment.
