Despite a few imperfections, Mu Voice looks to be one of the most promising applications of this type that we've seen. Although initially appearing to be somewhat limited in scope, it actually has a vast range of practical uses for the musician.

From speedy voice changes to basic intonation correction and easily-accessed harmonic arrangements, Mu Voice just about has it all. You don't need to be a trained musician to get started, and you certainly don't need to spend hours automating all 70 of Mu Voice's parameters.

We had limited success applying Mu Voice to a range of non-vocal sources, but that's perfectly understandable, since the application is designed to process the human voice. Using simple synthesised waveforms, though, we coaxed some unusual chorus and harmonising effects from the software.

Regarding Mu Voice's intended use as a vocal processor, the overall sound might not be utterly convincing in isolation, but it's as good as many competing products, and is entirely acceptable within a full track arrangement.

Summary

We haven't seen anything else in this price range that can match both the sheer quality of the artificial harmonies produced and the hugely impressive low-latency performance. Stage performers on a budget will be extremely hard-pressed to find a better live harmony solution.
