Voice redesigned

Combining a vast range of vocal expressions with an innovative engine, VOCAL COLORS explores the synergy between speech and synthesis. Breathe motion, dynamics, and feeling into your music with inventive sounds that push the boundaries of the voice. From cinematic compositions to forward-thinking pop productions, VOCAL COLORS delivers hypnotic hues for igniting the initial spark or finessing your final brushstrokes.

Tell deeper sonic stories

Fluid, dynamic, and uniquely personal, the voice stands at the forefront of emotive instruments. From gentle whispers to passionate shouts, VOCAL COLORS lets you shape and blend both male and female voices that have been pushed to their performative limits. Humanize electronic parts with a varied collection of vocal expressions that can be warped into evolving pads, basses, pulses, and grooves that strike balance between ultramodern and naturalistic.

Hybrid creation

VOCAL COLORS packs leading COLORS engine features, along with new vocal-specific additions. Formant shift, vibrato, and breath controls help customize your tones, while additional male subharmonics and blendable vowel sounds allow you to dive in deeper. Get instant results with over 250 snapshots or sculpt your sounds from scratch with an array of layerable boutique samples.

From the source

Explore pads, one-shots, reverses, pulses, and more, and unlock specialized sound design tools for each source. Craft unique formant leads and resonant pads with Synth Mode, and design aleatoric textures and granular loops with Particles. Build intricate sequences with the Arpeggiator and generate movement with the enlarged Motion engine.

Experimental spirit

With curiosity at its core, VOCAL COLORS uses abstract techniques to create unheard timbres. Unconventional melodies were performed across changing vowels and consonants, and robotic artifacts created by flattening the pitch. Nurturing the natural tone of the singers, a range of organic modulation techniques were explored, then recorded chromatically and as round robins for pristine resolution.
