VM WARP
Warping is how we model different vocal tract dimensions,
and apply them to incoming vocals. Your favorite vocalists all
have unique pitch and glottal characteristics. Warp changes
the tonal makeup of the sound by moving vocal formants, so
that the Voice Modeled (VM) Lead voice sounds quite differ-
ent than the original. Formants are the harmonic combina-
tions that help make our voices unique.
The styles have been given names that are
easily identified when assembling presets.
The names may be associated with a particu-
lar genre of music or sound. This way, you
can associate a certain modification with a
name, similar to how we describe colors in a
picture with names.
Some of the Warp styles contain a built-in octave shift, either
up or down. This is to accommodate a male singing in the
female register, with a feminine timbre, or for a female to
simulate a male singing voice. These Warp styles enable you
to sing in a natural range and still hit the notes of your oppo-
site gender comfortably; they are
