VirSyn has introduced a new vocal designer plugin for Mac and PC, KLON.

Klon takes your voice and adds up to 16 different copies of your voice, in realtime. This lays the ground for an impressive amount of applications like:

• Choir generator
• Harmonizer
• Voice doubler
• Change voice’s gender
• Pitch corrector
• Extreme voice manipulation

KLON is available for purchase for the introductory offer of 99 EUR until October 31st, 2009 (regular price 169 EUR). It is free with every purchase of Take Five FX (incl. Bark, Matrix, Reflect, TDesign and VTape) before October 31st, 2009.

This video demos making beats with iSyn Virtual Music Studio, a virtual music studio for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, with two synths and a drum machine.

iSyn will retail for $4.99.

Here are the details:

iSyn is a virtual music studio for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, developed by audioMIDI.com and programmed by Harry Gohs of Virsyn Software Synthesizer.

iSyn features two fully programmable virtual-analog synthesizers and a drum machine. The synths are the real deal- three oscillators, 24 db/octave ladder filters, two envelope generators, full mod routings, effects, the works. And the drum machine has eight fully-editable kits.

VirSyn has released FDELAY, calling it “an exciting tool for sound design and loop manipulation in realtime”.

FDELAY splits the frequency spectrum of the input signal into 27 bands and applies a separate delay unit to each band. The delay times can be synchronized to the host tempo generating nearly infinite rhythmical and sonic variations of the input signal.

Or as VirSyn puts it, FDelay lets you “pimp your loops”!

Here’s an example:

Electronic Musician has an interesting article penned by Dennis Miller that looks at 8 tools for turning photographs into audio and manipulating audio visually:

Eerybody knows that a picture is worth a thousand words. But did you know that a picture can also buy you the frequencies of a thousand oscillators?

Using any of several modern music applications, you can convert the data that forms a picture on the computer screen into information that will generate an audio file. In most cases, the program uses the vertical position of each pixel of the image to control frequency and one or more color (RGB) values for parameters such as amplitude and stereo position.

Applications covered include:

1. Adobe Audition 3,
2. Thomas Baudel’s HighC 2.2
3. Camel Audio’s Cameleon 5000 1.5
4. Rasmus Ekman’s CoagulaLight 1.66
5. Nicolas Fournel’s AudioPaint 2.1
6. Image Line FL Studio 8
7. U&I Software MetaSynth 4
8. VirSyn Poseidon 1.4

It would have been nice if the online edition of this article had included audio or video demos of these apps, which would have made it more clear why these can be useful tools.
