“– Превращает ваш компьютер в певца!
– Выразительный сольный, фоновый и хоровой вокал
– Редактор оценок с полной интеграцией хоста (VST / AU)
– 50+ готовых к использованию естественных и искусственных голосовых персонажей
– Поет на немецком и американском английском
– доступно для Windows XP и Mac OS X

Человеческий голос – наиболее сложный и универсальный инструмент, используемый в музыкальном выражении. С CANTOR прямо сейчас начинается захватывающая новая эра вокального синтеза в реальном времени! Представьте, что вы вводите текст на простом английском языке, а затем мгновенно «поете» текст, просто играя мелодию на своей MIDI-клавиатуре. Добавьте реалистичного выражения с параметрами в реальном времени, контролируя частоту и глубину вибрато или изменяя характер певческого голоса с женского на мужской!

Благодаря нашей новой технологии вокального синтеза VOSE * было достигнуто значительное улучшение качества звука и разборчивости. Диапазон голосовых персонажей практически неограничен: от голосовых персонажей роботов до очень выразительных и почти реалистично звучащих голосов.

Полностью переработанный редактор партитуры позволяет легко и быстро редактировать наиболее важные параметры звука, что дает вам доступ к мельчайшим деталям орфографии и выразительности вокальной партии. Все эти изменения можно выполнять в реальном времени: то, что вы слышите, вы получаете.

Новая функция импорта MIDI позволяет использовать информацию об изменении высоты тона и экспрессии. Это открывает совершенно новые возможности применения: если вы возьмете, например, анализирующую программу, такую ​​как Melodyne от Celemony, вы можете взять «настоящую» вокальную партию и проанализировать ее. После импорта вы можете использовать эту вокальную линию и комбинировать ее с новым голосом, созданным CANTOR!

В состав CANTOR 2 входят более 20 готовых к использованию голосов с немецким и американским произношением. Обширные возможности для редактирования фонем и голоса позволяют легко создавать свои собственные индивидуальные голосовые персонажи – даже создание «новых» языков в ваших силах!

CANTOR 2 доступен как отдельная программа и как хост-плагин (VST2.4, AudioUnit) для платформ Windows XP и Mac OS X.

“The Shell is a unique thing in that it’s an empty Kontakt instrument which allows YOU to put YOUR samples into it and have a fully functional, professionally scripted and designed panel at your disposal for sonic tweakage. Ideal if you make your own samples/sounds but aren’t able to do scripting or find it difficult.

Scripting IS very complicated if you’re not that way inclined … like myself … which is why we have our own resident scriptmeister in the form of the enviably gifted Mario Krušelj here at HS Towers. Let’s face it, Kontakt scripting can be very complicated even if you ARE that way inclined! Continue reading GUI Shell →

“This is an amazing tool for those who use convolution reverberators (processors) in their soundworks. This tool will help you to design your own room impulse responses ranging from small rooms to large echo halls to small “intimate” cabinets to echoing soundscapes. You have the opportunity to design materials and room’s geometry. There is a bunch of other settings too. These are room’s size which really alters perceived size, density control which allows to create maximally dense reverbs, “random seed” parameter which allows to create endless number of variations of the same room design. You can also set output sample rate and bit depth. After you have designed your room you just need to press “Generate” button and after a while a freshy WAV file will be ready to be loaded into any convolution reverberator for your listening pleasure.
