iZotope VocalSynth 2 is a vocal effect plugin designed to transform the voice into a full-fledged instrument, whether for a modern pop sound, electronic harmonies, robotic voices, glitch textures, or a stylized talkbox. It is aimed at electronic music producers (EDM, techno, synthwave) as well as pop, hip-hop creators, and sound designers who want to quickly achieve "produced," thick, and expressive vocals without complex signal chains. Thanks to its various control modes (Auto, MIDI, Sidechain), it fits seamlessly into both a writing workflow (topline) and a post-production phase to sculpt a strong vocal sonic identity.
The core of VocalSynth 2 is based on five complementary vocal modules. Biovox allows reshaping the voice's timbre and "formant" for organic or mutant colors. Vocoder delivers the classic synthetic grain synchronized to a carrier source. Polyvox adds stacking and harmonizations to provide breadth and instant choirs. Compuvox pushes toward digital, lo-fi, and "computer" textures, ideal for stylized effects. Talkbox reproduces the talkbox aesthetic adapted to a plugin environment, handy for very characterful sung leads.
Beyond the vocal modules, VocalSynth 2 includes an effects section to finalize the sound and embed it into the mix. You can add width, modulation, or bite, then control presence and space to achieve a production-ready result.
Included effects: Chorus, Ring Mod, Distortion, Filter, Speaker Simulations, Shred, and Delay.
Real-time pitch correction helps lock intonation before or during processing, improving harmony clarity, vocoder precision, and polyphonic layer stability. This is a direct asset for modern, clean, and controlled vocals without interrupting the creative flow.
Depending on the desired result, you adapt the plugin control: Auto mode suits quick processing and "always-on" effects, MIDI mode allows playing harmonies and movements like an instrument, and Sidechain mode enables reactive control from another track for rhythmic effects, articulations, and transitions perfectly synced to your session.
VocalSynth 2 supports plugin-spanning with Neutron 2 Visual Mixer, Masking Meter, and Tonal Balance Control. The goal: facilitate placement decisions, limit frequency conflicts, and maintain tonal coherence, especially useful when the voice becomes a highly textured element that must remain clear at the center of the production.
