This works well if you only need a very basic arrangement, but the real magic begins when you hook up a MIDI device and play in the specific harmonies you'd like the voices to follow. If you don't supply a MIDI signal, Harmony Engine enables you to select from a plethora of static presets.

You can use Harmony Engine to build complex harmonic arrangements, employing up to four virtual voices on top of the original source. It works a little like Duo or Choir, except this time there's more control over tuning.

The most substantial of these new additions is Harmony Engine - this retails separately for £189, so to get it in the box represents great value for money. Harmony EngineĪvox 2 also includes Harmony Engine, Mutator, Articulator, Aspire and Warm. Sybil is very much a typical de-esser - ie, a configurable, frequency-specific compressor - and it works well enough. If you're uncomfortable with compressors, it's a great solution for evening out the dynamics while adding - you guessed it - punch. Punch is a lot like a limiter in operation, but the results sound similar to gentle compression.
