Waves Audio has released a new update to its OVox Vocal ReSynthesis plug-in, now with a MIDI Out feature, NKS compatibility with Native Instruments controllers, SoundGrid real-time compatibility and hundreds of new presets.

New features:

• MIDI Out in real-time (including Voice-to-MIDI)
• SoundGrid-compatible for real-time performance
• NKS-ready for NI Komplete Kontrol and Maschine
• 250 presets added, including 150 artist presets

OVox’s new MIDI Out feature enables you to play any virtual instrument (either by Waves or other manufacturers) using your voice in real-time. Whether you sing or hum melodies, OVox will convert your voice to MIDI, then send the MIDI out to the other instrument. You can also use the Note Mapper to quantize your MIDI to scale or generate hundreds of chord progressions. You can even route the other instrument as a carrier back to OVox and then use OVox’s formant filter to modulate the other instrument.

The new OVox update also adds 250 new presets, including 150 artist presets from the music producers of Bon Iver, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Cardi B and more. Also, the new updated OVox is NKS-ready for Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol and Maschine and is now SoundGrid-compatible for real-time performance with a SoundGrid system.

Waves OVox is the next-generation voice-controlled synthesizer and vocal effects processor, powered by Waves’ Organic ReSynthesis technology. Use OVox as a plug-in or standalone app — transform any vocal to create vocoder, talkbox, harmonizer, pitch/tune, vocal arpeggiation effects and others.

You can experiment and discover results with OVox on drums, bass and other instruments. It’s also a synth in its own right, even when not triggered by vocals or different external sounds.
