AVOX Overview
The AVOX Antares Vocal Toolkit includes:
THROAT Physical Modeling Vocal
Designer THROAT is a revolutionary new
vocal tool that lets you process a vocal through
a meticulously crafted physical model of
the human vocal tract. THROAT begins by
neutralizing the effect of the original singer’s
vocal tract and then gives you the ability to
specify the characteristics of the modeled
vocal tract.

THROAT’s controls allow you to modify the
voice’s glottal waveform as well as globally
stretch, shorten, widen or constrict the
modeled vocal tract. For even more detailed
control, THROAT’s graphical Throat Shaping
display allows you to individually adjust the
position and width of five points in the vocal
tract model, from the vocal chords, through
the throat, mouth and out to the lips. Finally,
THROAT’s Breathiness controls let you

THROAT’s Breathiness controls let you
add variable frequency noise to the model,
resulting in a range of vocal effects from subtle
breathiness, to raspiness, to a full whisper.

While THROAT has been designed to allow
subtle modifications to a voice’s vocal quality,
the range of the controls also allows the
creation of vocal tract models well beyond
the limits of physical human anatomy, offering
the possibility of vocal characteristics that are
simply unattainable by any other means.

DUO Vocal Modeling Auto-Doubler DUO
automatically generates a doubled vocal part
from an existing vocal. In addition to allowing
programmable variation in pitch, timing and
vibrato depth, for even more realism, DUO
also includes a simplified version of THROAT’s
vocal modeling to provide timbral variation for
the doubled part. DUO’s output section gives
you independent control of the level and stereo
position of the original and doubled voices.

CHOIR Vocal Multiplier Neither a
harmonizer nor a conventional chorus effect,
CHOIR is a unique processor that actually
turns a single voice into 4, 8, 16, or 32 distinct
individual unison voices, each with its own
pitch, timing and vibrato variations. The voices
can, if desired, be spread across the stereo
spectrum. Assign an instance of CHOIR to
each of four voices singing four-part harmony
and voilà, instant choir.

PUNCH Vocal Impact Enhancer PUNCH is
a unique processor that, as its name implies,
lets you give your vocal more dynamic impact,
allowing it to cut through a dense mix with
clarity and power.
