Voice-to-Voice and Voice-to-Instrument Processing

MicDrop Suite converts a voice into other vocal models and into instrument sounds. Soundlabs.ai lists trumpet, slap bass and talkbox among the instrument options, along with a 303-style sound.

The suite combines this with auto pitch tools. You choose a scale, key and speed, and the plugin adjusts pitch from subtle tuning to more pronounced effects.

Harmonies are built with MIDI control, and the plugin can switch between real-time vocoder and playback modes. A CPU-friendly noise gate is included to keep processed vocals clean.

Included Models, Expansion Packs and Workflow

The Suite includes everything in the MicDrop Classic package, plus 24 additional vocal and instrument models. The bundled expansion packs are Chants & Chips Vol. 1, Folk & Indie Essentials Vol. 1, Island Essentials Vol. 1, Hybrid Harmonics Vol. 1, Pop & Electronic Vol. 1, and Rap and R&B Essentials Vol. 1.

Soundlabs.ai says new voices and instruments are added every month. Presets for the built-in effects can be saved to speed up sessions.

Most computers can run one or two instances at a time because of the processing load, so plan your session around that limit. The developer recommends bouncing processed takes in place and saving the session as you build vocal stacks.
