TC-Helicon Introduces Intonator HS for PowerCore

Aug 25, 2003

TC-Helicon has announced the second Plug-In processor for the PowerCore platform from TC Electronic. The Intonator HS (Hybrid Shifting) is a real-time pitch correction plug-in that fixes intonation problems in vocals. This new plug-in for the PowerCore platform utilizes the latest intonation correction technology found in TC-Helicon's hardware products.

Today some kind of pitch correction is a prerequisite in many areas, as great intonation in vocal tracks are expected in most types of popular music. The Intonator HS Plug-In enables anyone to produce perfectly pitched vocals. On top of that there is 48 correction scales as well as custom scales to intelligently correct tuning in many musical situations.

The user interface has been designed with straightforwardness and ease-of-use in mind and the real-time pitch and processing displays enables quick overview and fast editing possibilities. For creative use the pitch correction range of +/- 600 cents establishes the possibility of forcing a melody to one note if preferred. Additionally, the adaptive Low Cut Filter removes unwanted low frequency rumble and noise without a "thinning" of the voice.
