VOCAL HARMONIZER via MIDI

Hello there,

Thank you very much for taking interest in this topic, my skills in Axoloti patching are plain bad. I was wondering if anyone has explored the possibillities for a real time vocal harmonizer (like this awesome Jacob Collier stuff) as shown in the picture below (taken from this post on an Organelle forum).

He uses a custom box built by MIT and specifys exactly what notes it harmonizes via midi controller. Sounds to me that he also has some vocoder effect added. Such a classy vibe.

Thanks guys

I'm surprised no one replied to this, looks quite easy to do and I've often wondered about something like this.

I can't remember whether I just saw talk about it or an actual release of a pitch-shifter object, but basically, that's what you need for this. I think it was either Remco (SirSickSik) or Robert (rbrt) who made one.

Assuming you find a pitch-shifter object, all this would need is for the audio to fed into various pitch-shifter objects where the pitch-shifter gets it's shift amount from MIDI note information. The MIDI note information gathered from a MIDI object that is fed with your keyboard or whatever. The original audio and the various pitch-shifted audio would then be fed into a mixer so that you can hear all pitches at the same time, and change the levels as you feel fit.

I hope that helps a little, I can't be sure about any of this as my Axo computer is currently out of action, but I'm pretty sure as long as there's a pitch-shift object somewhere in the library, it would be perfectly doable.
