Moog has just created a new piece of hardware that promises to correct overly vocoded pop, R&B and hip-hop style singing. It supposedly does this by detecting auto-tuned audio and de-tuning it, to give it a more natural feel.
I don't know if S|M has the performance to do this kind of thing too, but it's definitely something worth trying. I think if we could cooperate on this and make sure future S|M updates focus on these features, we could have it released this time next year.
Take a look here for Moog's own advertising blurb: http://www.moogmusic.com/moogerfooger/? ... t_id=21374

So this is a device to detune what was originaly out of tune? 😕

That sounds like a news in a local radio station today: 1 cent tax 4 every email... 😉

Are you sure that was an Aprils fool joke? Big and well-known organisations have seriously suggested such a thing in the past as a way to battle spam.
The real aprils fool joke is that its getting harder and harder every year to separate the real from the fake news.

Its supposedly a machine to re-de-tune, back from auto-tuned to original de-tuned.
Truth be told, for some songs I wish this machine really existed.

Just for the fun I woul try to make this thing in SM. Time to take my 1024 FFT in code for a test. 😉

Like the opposite of Melodyne's DNA system!

In the early 1990s an Alberta provincial cabinet minster announced that talks were underway to amalgamate Alberta and it's neighbouring province of Saskatchewan... it ran April 2nd as a serious news item in at least one daily newspaper because they didn't recognize it as an April fools joke. Ironically it ran in the paper that had run it's own April fools joke on the front page... that Edmonton was setting up toll booths at all entrances to the city to re-capture municipal tax revenue lost to bedroom communities.
So a music hardware company running a nearly plausible story about a product to de-auto-tune seems innocent by comparison.

What! No 'karaoke after ten pints of lager' setting - it's rubbish!
I notice Florence Foster Jenkins mentioned - a mate of mine gave me a CD of her recordings as a joke birthday present a few years back - I can heartily recommend it if you ever need to make everyone go home at the end of a party!

That's true for sure.
But to avoid confusion, you know how, you just need to VERIFY, like the old BASIC instruction. 😀

@troggie: i should have that cd in the past when my friends only ended the party only when the beer was empty 😉
...what a torture... 😈

I don't like typical soul modulations, black music have too much for me.
I like also to hear steady notes, well taken. Maybe they feel stupid just taking a note.
They want to vary but they vary too much for me.
On the other side, did you ever listen to gregorian choirs? It's amazing the first time you listen to that stuff.
They seem to use just one steady note that goes on for minutes.
Then you realised there's many people supprting the note and some sort of very strict scaling and structrues.
Very interesting! 😀

When most of the classical orchestral music was written, it was supposed to be played without vibrato - only in the last century did vibrato become commonplace. If you get the chance, there are some recordings around of some pieces played without the vibrato - sounds amazingly different, more powerful and less 'mushy'. Without the vibrato we could make synth 'strings' with far less LFOs!
Also heard some bulgarian vocal music a while back - really crazy, their pitching is so accurate that they can deliberately detune their voices to get a lovely phaser/flanger sound.
Acrobat ·
I've heard that bulgarian vocal music derives from their women having very powerful voice because they needed to "call back cows", then it became a chant! 😀

Yeah, like mystere des voix bulgare, I sampled a lot from them like erghen diado. Heard many version of that, but that choir sings it best to my ears. They almost sound like copper instruments in some passages, the unison and timing is breathtaking...
