iVoxel, VoxSyn, Voice Synth Pro (voice app advice)
I see the VirSyn apps are on sale this month. I’m thinking of making a purchase. I already have quite a few of them but none of the voice apps. I have been using TC helicon hardware for the last few years for my voice effects, and never thought to use apps. I do have the 2 TCHelicon apps and they are pretty good. But I’ve been looking at the apps listed in the post title, and was wondering what people thought about them? And if there are known issues? Thanks... (Air2 and iPadPro12 2017 iOS 11.2)

You probably want to describe what you’re hoping to achieve with these apps so the suggestions you receive will be more appropriate.
do you like the helicon stuff?lots of features but I don't the the effects actually sound good
I bought iVoxel because I wanted to use my own carrier and I don't believe VoxSyn does that. I believe VoxSyn uses the Tera synth engine that is included inside, but no external sources. I could be wrong, but iVoxel was cheaper too. So far no problems on my Air 2 11.2.
I'm curious as to the difference between iVoxel and VoxSyn also - I own VoxSyn and just picked up Tera synth for Black Friday. What would iVoxel give me that I can't get with my current VoxSyn/Tera synth combo?
@dvlmusic It was hard to find the differences between those two apps for me. I think iVoxel is more of the usual vocoder where you can use the provided sounds or use your own inputs for carrier and modulator. I believe VoxSyn has only the Tera synth engine to use as a carrier, but that could very well be enough for most cases. I think the voice tracking is more advanced in how it maps different aspects of your vocal to the synth parameters, iVoxel just tracks the pitch I think. I am not sure what VoxSyn is tracking exactly, but they seem to imply that there is a lot more going on than pitch tracking.
Anyway, I hope this helps a little. There is not too much info from Virsyn comparing the two directly, so I had to guess based on things either directly stated or suspiciously not mentioned in the respective app descriptions. Obviously someone who owns both and has taken both for spin should be of more definitive help.
Ok - I watched some videos and it sounds like the major differences are:
1) VoxSyn - Tera synth is the carrier (wave) and the input can be anything via Audiobus or the mic
2) iVoxel - ANYTHING can be the carrier (wave) and the input can be the mic or the internal vocal samples.
Is this accurate? Sounds to me like iVoxel is a bit more versatile as a straight up vocoder simply because you can use any iOS synth as a carrier. Not that Tera synth isn't super powerful, but if I can vocode Model 15, Zeeon or mood....
I don’t have voxsyn, but I got into iVoxel a few years ago when I was doing my Robot Christmas song — all the vocoder parts are specifically tailored voxels which I made, per phrase or per word, and the tuning and length sequence could then be anything, not related to what I originally sung or spoke in. I very much like the voxel concept, although it is quite time consuming (or at least, routine repetitive work, like washing up) it is quite rewarding in that you end up with a very flexible description of the phrase or word, not necessarily connected to pitch or duration. In other words, not the sort of thing you’d want for live performance. I’m guessing that voxsyn is better for live performance. iVoxel on the other hand, better for crafting.
Can you sing in real time and process your voice with iVoxel as you can with VirSyn?
Here’s an example of a line that was created from voxels. I made up a voxel for each word, the word was basically just spoken in — clearly, and phrased evenly and fairly monotone, but as just normal speech in a normal timing rather than how it sounds here.
Yes, you can. You can sing while at the same time play Notes on the virtual keyboard and then see what comes out in this live situation.
This is the main way I like to use it .
