Key Features & Use Cases

Instantly Generate Rich Harmonies
Create up to eight independent harmony voices instantly from a single mono vocal source. Effortlessly achieve everything from simple duets to complex choir effects, significantly saving the time and effort of recording multiple vocal tracks.

Three Flexible Workflows
Offers three modes to suit your creative habits: Automatic Mode quickly applies chord presets; MIDI Mode lets you play harmonies in real-time with a keyboard; and Graphical Mode provides the most detailed visual editing, allowing you to draw in each note by hand.

Deeply Customize Sound Texture
You can independently adjust the details of each generated harmony voice, including Pitch, Formant, Panning, Delay, and Filtering, and use the drag-and-drop modulation features to create unique sonic characteristics and dynamics.

Inspiring Preset Library
Built-in library of over 450 presets meticulously designed by Grammy-winning engineers and artists, covering a wide range of musical styles. Whether you're a music theory expert or not, you can easily find inspiration and quickly apply it to your productions.

Real-Time Performance with a MIDI Keyboard
Connect your MIDI keyboard to play harmonies in real-time as you sing. Once you set the song's key and scale, any note you play will be automatically corrected to ensure harmonic accuracy, making it an excellent tool for live performance and improvisation.

Visual Arrangement Control
In the intuitive graphical interface, you can click and drag to draw the pitch and timing of harmonies, just like in a Piano Roll. With the Snapshots feature, you can save multiple arrangement settings and switch between them seamlessly for different sections of your song.

A Creative Tool Beyond Harmonies
Harmony's capabilities extend far beyond just harmonies. It's also a powerful sound design tool that can be used to create thick Vocal Stacks, excellent Doubling effects, complex delay arrays, creative special voices, and modulated melodic sequences.
