TC electronic SDN BHD Harmony4 user manual Introduction, Main Features

Chapter 1: Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Harmony4 Pro Tools® TDM plug-in from TC- Helicon. This product is a landmark in that it is the first time our harmony technology has been made available as a Pro Tools plug-in. You can now add vocal sparkle and depth to your songs, advertising jingles, spoken word content, video games and more from within the Pro Tools environment. All you need is a nicely recorded vocal track to send to Harmony4. The four Hybrid ShiftingTM algorithms can be thought of as well trained singers that you can manipulate in order to create vocal magic.

We hope you become as excited by the possibilities of Harmony4 as we are to bring it to you.
