New from TC-Helicon announced the VoiceDoubler for live applications. VoiceDoubler is a rack-mount unit that is the first front of house effects processor to create up to four humanized overdubs in real time. The skill, time and punch-ins required to create a properly doubled vocal track in the studio are nearly impossible to accurately recreate in live performance but with VoiceDoubler, these problems are now solved. VoiceDoubler will ship in January, 2005 at $1245 MSRP.

VoiceDoubler can recreate every conceivable doubling sound, including natural overdubs and pristine emulations of classic detune, microshift and chorus effects. Based on VoicePro technology, live creation of "tight and intimate" or "loose and lively" multitracked overdubbed sounds is possible with VoiceDoubler's advanced Inflection and FlexTime blocks. VoiceDoubler is easy to setup and comes loaded with 50 factory and 99 user presets.



VoiceDoubler can also be used to create a "group shout" effect typically used for hiphop and rap vocals. One VoiceDoubler can be used for each onstage singer to match recorded vocals and create virtual choirs.

VoiceDoubler comes with a secondary input for polyphonic instruments and balanced analog XLR I/O and AES/EBU digital I/O.
