01Overview

BLEASS Vox is built around the voice. Its Tune section applies pitch correction to a chosen key and scale, while the Vox section can transpose the signal by up to 12 semitones or fix it to a single note. A formant control changes the timbre of a vocal without shifting its pitch. The developer says the plugin also offers a Real Time mode for lower latency during tracking and live use, and a standard mode for higher-accuracy editing and mixing.

Pitch Correction, Pitch Shifting and Formant Control

The Tune section handles correction. You set a key and scale, then adjust Correction to control how strongly the signal is pulled to the nearest note. A setting of 100% forces the sound to the exact corrected pitch, while lower values allow smaller changes. Speed sets how quickly the sound returns to pitch when it falls outside the chosen scale, and it can be pushed far enough to create portamento-like slides.

The Vox section works differently. In Transpose mode the pitch moves up or down by up to 12 semitones, with a Fine control that resolves tenths of a semitone. In Flatten mode the output is fixed to one note. The Formant dial changes the harmonic content and therefore the timbre, and a Pitch-Formant Lock keeps the pitch and formant dials linked in Transpose mode.

Unison, Vibrato and Output Controls

The Unison processor creates detuned copies of the signal to thicken a voice. You choose the number of voices, up to 10, the maximum detune amount and the maximum stereo spread. The detune is spread evenly across the voices, so the last voice receives the full amount.

The Vibrato stage adds pitch modulation with Attack, Speed and Amount controls, so you do not need to set up an LFO to get vibrato. The Output section provides Gain and a Dry/Wet mix, so you can blend the processed signal with the original.

Questions, answered

What formats does BLEASS Vox support?

BLEASS Vox is available in VST3, AU and AAX formats, plus a Standalone version. It runs on Windows and macOS.

What do I need to use BLEASS Vox?

BLEASS Vox is not a standalone product in the sense of a full instrument; it requires a host. It is compatible with all VST3 and Audio Unit compatible DAWs. On Windows, it supports Windows 8 and later. On macOS, it supports macOS 10.9 and later in 64-bit, including macOS 11 Big Sur and M1 processors.

Can BLEASS Vox be used for live performance?

Yes. The developer describes the Real Time mode as reducing latency at the expense of processing accuracy, and recommends engaging it during live performances and tracking.
