Singing Vocoder App Updated

iVoxel version 1.2 is now available 31-Aug-10

Virsyn tell us that they have released iVoxel version 1.2. with the following improvements:

  • Speaker switch to enable loudspeaker on iPhone
  • Improved voxel recording quality
  • Improved performance for iPhone 3G / iPod 2.Gen
  • Consonants can now played voiced by turning consonants all the way down

Here's Virsyn's own words on iVoxel...

iVoxel is not only an amazingly sounding vocoder for iPhone/iPod and iPad - the unique concept of iVoxel turns this vocoder into a singing machine going far beyond the capabilities of traditional and software vocoders on any platform.

iVoxel lets you:

  • Speak or sing into your head set mic transforming your voice in a wide variety of ways.
  • Record words, syllables or other sounds into the voxel dictionary for later reuse.
  • Play different voxels live on the keyboard with ingenious pitch bending.
  • Arrange and play melodies with the built in sequencer and add the lyrics from a user expandable dictionary of voxels.
iVoxel is a combination of a voice optimized synthesizer and a vocoder with an unprecedented intelligibility. The vocoder part is based on the Matrix vocoder from VirSyn used by many famous artists - one of them the well known german group Kraftwerk. The channel filters used by iVoxel are based on the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 resulting in a rich and fat analogue sound characteristic.

Pricing and Availability:
$11.99

@coolshit28 Yes, Version 2 works with a MIDI keyboard and iRig Amplitude

coolshit28 12-Feb-12 09:31 PM

Does this have midi support. I'd like to be able to play my midi keyboard with mic in care of the Irig Amplittude on my Ipod touch 3?

With this you can make a utau :D anywhere

virsyn 04-Oct-11 07:33 AM

@martinnesuno The Record button enables audio recording. Recording starts and stops with Play/Stop button. The recordings are stored in the directory: ~/Library/Application Support/iVoxel/recordings This and more info can be found in the help menu of the App.

How to Export sequencer content to wav on Mac version??

virsyn 24-Jan-11 08:32 AM

@SmokinCrack12 yes it can be used. Search for Youtube video "iVoxelSS25" to see it in action.

SmokinCrack12 22-Jan-11 03:41 PM

Can it use with Akai Synthstation hardware

virsyn 12-Jan-11 08:50 AM

@ScottGonzaleztv yes, you can export in audio and midi format. Go to the "Record menu" and start recording there.

ScottGonzaleztv 12-Jan-11 06:11 AM

Hey Thanks for the response! Yah i figured it out last night pretty sweet app !!! Its running nice on my 3g now , it doesnt seem so great on a 2g , but at least i figured it out on the 3g , pretty dam fun ! if i do say so myself ! Take care , thanks again.

virsyn 08-Jan-11 08:29 AM

@redbirdsaraceno The easiest way is to select the project "Live Singing" as a start. In the Live page you will see the special voxel "live" set throughout the keyboard. Then just play some notes/chords on the keyboard and talk into the mic and you should hear the vocoded result in your headphones. Hope i could help.

redbirdsaraceno 08-Jan-11 07:55 AM

Can you please tell me how to use this as a live vocorder? Im really frustrated with this as i cant figure out how to use it live at all,and i dont see anything anywhere saying how other than the other video that says plug in headphone mic to use it live,but i tried that and its not working for me at all. i figure out how to record voxels which is prettty cool , but what i really want to know is how too use it as a live vocorder,which is why i bought it ! Thank you for your help with this .

Thanks for posting this. I am finally convinced that apple Ipad and Itouch music creation apps are a must have in my music setup.

europlane77 16-Aug-10 08:51 PM

virsyn 03-Aug-10 09:55 AM

virsyn 22-Jul-10 07:53 PM

@djhombre It's already "in review" by Apple - maybe a matter of hours or a few days...

djhombre 22-Jul-10 07:05 PM
