VST AKAI Professional Plugins Collection v1.0 | 1.74 MB

Akai Professional is offering five new innovative VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plug-ins.

Available through Akai Professional dealers or on-line at akaipro.com, this collection of multi-part harmony, pitch correction, and mastering tools will be a welcome addition to the serious producer's and musician's effects arsenal. Add to that a rotating cabinet simulator with graphic mic placement and graphic representation of speaker rotation, as well as a 50-band vocoder that can create vocoder effects even without a carrier signal, and you have a fresh pallet of colors for your musical artistry.

The DECCA BUDDY adds multi-part harmonies to your vocals. By adding 9 harmony parts to the original vocal, up to 10 voice harmonies can be played: 5 parts (Original + 4 transposed Harmonies) x 2 (Dual function). Harmony can be selected using any one of the Preset Scales, User Scales or MIDI. In addition to generating harmonies, the Formant function can change female voices to male and vice versa. For a more natural character, all voices can be randomized independently. When MIDI Scale is selected, you can control the notes from an external MIDI keyboard or add harmonies via a MIDI Sequencer.

The PITCH RIGHT allows you to correct the pitch of vocals or any other instrument in real time. Three parameters control operation: 'Ratio' sets the amount of pitch correction, 'Smoothing' sets the correction for vibrato, and 'Calibrate' sets the reference pitch. And unlike other pitch correction programs, the setting of 'Smoothing' does not influence the transition time between notes. Thirteen factory Preset Scales, two User Scales and MIDI Scales are available. With the MIDI function you can control pitch from an external MIDI keyboard via a MIDI sequencer.
