vielklang provides you instant 4-voice harmonization with voice leading on one single click, loading a single-voiced audio file, and create natural sounding background choirs and brass arrangements.

Vielklang allows you to completely focus on the musical issues rather than technical or theoretical ones, since Vielklang is not just a harmonizer; it is packed with musical intelligence and music theory: it automatically detects the best fitting harmonies for each individual input melody, and automatically synthesizes up to four voices with the voices not merely running in parallel but with their voice pitches automatically selected to sound most natural (voice leading).

With Vielklang, you can thus easily generate and prototype natural sounding background vocals and brass sections and modify melodies and single-voiced loops in terms of pitch and scale. It allows you to generate four voices, edit their harmonies and single pitches, and convert the audio to MIDI.

Here are some key features of "vielklang":

· instant 4-Voice-harmonization of any single-voiced audio input
· integrated voice leading rules, resulting in most natural automatic harmonizations
· automatic harmony estimation from input melody
· one-click modification of key scales (e.g. major to minor)
· snapshot system allowing multiple harmonizations per audio input
· audio-to-MIDI functionality
· automatic host tempo synchronization
· Undo and Redo functionality
· stereo mixdown of harmonization as well as individual voice outputs
· automatic estimation of pitch and note length, key
· high quality formant preserving pitch shifting and time stretching (?lastique engine)
· one-click modification of harmonies
· easy interaction with harmonization parameters like range (ambitus) or the distribution of the voices
· full control over every single note from all voices in Edit Mode
· adjustment of pitch quantization, delay, timbre, volume, and pan for each voice individually
· piano roll view of audio file with time overview and zoom options
· optional display of frequency curve, key grid and beat grid
· maximize and minimize control bars to adjust the plugin's GUI optimal to working habits
