DeccaBuddy


The Akai Professional DecaBuddy VST Plug-in is a software equivalent of the HV10 Harmony Processor.

It is capable of taking a monophonic audio signal and generating up to four harmony voices plus a unison voice that can track the audio input, and a Dual function allows doubling of each voice, providing a total of 10-voice harmonies.

The various controls allow you affect the tone of the harmony voices. RANDOM introduces a random delay in each of the voices whilst FORMANT allows you to 'gender bend' the harmony making it more feminine or masculine. For really precise harmonies, the pitch of harmony voices can be quantized and each voice may be panned and mixed.

Harmonies can be pre-programmed using preset or user scales, or they can be 'played' via MIDI.

The DecaBuddy VST Plug-in allows you to add natural multi-part harmonies to your vocal performance, with real-time MIDI control.

All information is preliminary and subject to change.
