Modeling|Formant Processor, a Vocal processor

growl, rasp, head and chest resonance, inflection or vibrato.
"Voice Modeling is a revolutionary new tool which offers
detailed craft and creative control over vocals far beyond
anything anyone has ever heard or been able to accomplish
before" noted Ed Simeone, Managing Director of TC
Electronic US, distributor of TC-Helicon. "From simple
vocal enhancement to radical transformation of the singing
voice into an entirely different timbre quality, the technology
in these products represents a momentous breakthrough for
the audio industry worldwide - this will significantly impact
the way vocals are performed and recorded, long into the
future."
The new VoicePrism Plus Human Voice Modeling|Formant
Processor, provides Voice Modeling features for the lead vocal
channel, as well as a full range of effects, harmony and
backing channel vocal processing, under preset control for
subtle to extreme vocal processing.

phantom powered mic into its high quality 48V mic preamp
to access any of the onboard processes including -
compression, gating, dual fully parametric EQ, 4-voice
harmony (with individually adjustable gender controls and
