MeloVox - Vocal Harmony by 4Pockets Audio (Released)
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/melovox-vocal-harmony/id6544800478
MeloVox is a vocal harmoniser designed to allow up to 5 simultaneous harmonies. You can have MeloVox automatically generate harmonies by listening to live input and creating harmonies based on the pitch of the incoming vocal, or you can use MIDI input to choose how to pitch the harmonies.
You can choose from one of two algorithms, one more suitable to vocals which includes formant preservation, and another more traditional option for instruments.
Unlike many pitch shifters, MeloVox is built on a phase vocoder capable of formant preservation, meaning much more natural sounding vocal harmonies. This is especially noticeable when pitching a vocal up an octave, which results in what is often called the Mickey Mouse effect. This is due to the fact that all frequencies are transposed up, along with the respective peaks in harmonics. This results in a sound which the vocal tract is incapable of producing, so it no longer sounds like a natural voice. MeloVox fixes this issue by preserving the formants.
MelVox is capable of producing up to 5 additional harmonies on top of the original vocal, and how it does that is down to the control mode setting. There are 5 different modes to choose from including Auto Sense, Fixed Pitch and three MIDI controllable modes called Chords, Melody and Vocoder.
Auto Sense mode detects the frequency of the incoming vocal, and automatically harmonises using the specified key and scale. Fixed Pitch allows you to specify fixed offsets in a scale without the need to detect pitch. Chord and Melody modes use incoming MIDI data to precisely control the harmonies using MIDI notes from your master keyboard or DAW. And to top if off we have a traditional 12 band Vocoder which is incredibly easy to setup and use due to its internal carrier source.
MeloVox includes a build in noise gate to remove unwanted background noise that helps with pitch tracking, and a vocal doubler which adds a spacious stereo effect to any monophonic vocal. MeloVox also features a 10 Band EQ add a reverb. All effects can be applied to either the original vocal or just the harmonies.
A built-in preset manager helps organize presets into categories using drag and drop, and the Set List can be created to provide quick real-time switching between presets and snapshots during a live session. You can even add your own acapella vocals to test presets as you create them.

How does Paul The Musicman at 4pockets manage to be so freakin’ productive??
He also is quick with bugfixes and other upgrades on almost every app he has on Appstore… Unbelievable!
Instabuy!
I'm definitely interested in this one. Not to the point I have GAS, but I'm intrigued just the same. Depends if it can run on iPhone (my main production environment) or not.
Partly because he recycles much of the UI from one app to the next.
That’s true, but, pretty sure that the UI department isn’t that time demanding compared to other coding…
Paul is king!!
Hole Eee Krap. A phase vocoder for iOS? Dag. Finally.
Wow!
It’s out!!

So none of the others including Bleass Voices do that? I never really use these kind of tools so have no idea whether this is the first in that regard.
The quick initial demo I’m sure you can do
In Bleass Voices so don’t think this is unique.
I wonder if it’s completely compatible with GarageBand unlike Voices
Why wouldn’t voices be compatible w GarageBand ?
Because GB doesn’t send MIDI out , which is why running MIDI FX aspects of apps like Mela doesn’t work
@Fear2Stop :Ok gotcha .. Thanks .. I guess we’d have to use Cubasis then or Logic Pro for iPad
Congratulations to Paul for the new fantastic app!
Just get rid of this disturbing “AI” whateveritis, please.
Indeed!
Do we know that Bleass Voices does in fact implement a phase vocoder specifically, as opposed to a “conventional” vocoder?
I wonder if Paul would consider adding an auto tuning effect that we could put on the incoming vocal?
As a terrible singer, I’m planning to run this after the waves tune plugin in Cubasis
Is it known whether the 5 voices can be routed via multi-out?
When loaded as a Multi-Bus Audio Unit in AUM, it shows 2-in / 1-Out if that helps.
Question: are the 12 vocoder bands midi mappable?
Here here
The app doesn’t seem to run in Logic, the plugin just crashes constantly.
For me im having trouble getting it to work as I want in Cubasis. I cant seem to get my midi keyboard to let me influence the vocoder sound. In AUM its fine - I watched several Ytube vids and it works well in AUM. Cannot find anything with Cubasis as the host though!
Anyone get this vocoder working well with midi keyboard in Cubasis who would share the setting up of this?
Thank you for taking time to read this

Working the usual way for me - create empty channel, create audio channel, insert Melovox on Audio channel, hit routing button on Melovox window and select empty channel, make sure audio channel is set to monitor so you can preview, make sure empty channel is active when playing MIDI, sorted.
@Loups Thank you for replying to me. . . sorry but still not getting it working yet. . . . . probably need more detail LOL - I will keep trying.
Thank you.

At about 28mins in here Jakob demonstrates the set-up in Cubasis (with Bleass Voices but it's exactly the same process):
@Loups your a star, thank you. And thanks to Jakob too
I was actually having some trouble with this too. I got it working in the end, but one thing I noticed on the way is that it seemed if I added any MIDI effects in the Cubasis channel that was sending the MIDI stream to melo, that no data would be received by the app — even if the MIDI app was just something passive like a monitor.
crashes in Logic Pro on iPad Pro M2
like Flux did
