HOT GEAR VocoPro Play, Hear & Record Wireless Combo System VocoPro has released the Play, Hear & Record combo system for guitarists. Play, Hear & Record provides a way for guitarists to play, monitor, and record or stream their music from the guitar to a computer via a USB receiver with a built-in audio interface while listening via the in- ear monitor. Also, the signal is sent to the guitar amplifier wirelessly. Its features include Tap-and-Sync, which allows users to change and sync frequency to all receivers within a 200-ft. range. The built-in rechargeable battery has six hours of run time on each charge and the system operates with super-low latency 900 Mhz away from TV, radio, and Wi-Fi interference.

Waves OVox Vocal ReSynthesis Voice Synth Plug-In Waves Audio has released the OVox Vocal ReSynthesis voice- controlled synthesizer and vocal effects processor, which can be used as a plug-in or standalone app (with or without a DAW) to cre- ate vocoder, talkbox, harmonizer, pitch/tune, and vocal arpeggiation effects and more. The OVox Vocal ReSynthesis provides a wide array of vocal synthesis and vocal morphing options, from classic Daft Punk-style vocoding to futuristic vocal effects. It delivers its ultra-high- resolution sound quality thanks to Waves’ Organic ReSynthesis (ORS) technology, which takes the vocal signal and breaks it down to its core elements — amplitude, pitch, and formant. It then re-synthesizes these elements to create a new processed signal, without any of the artifacts that sometimes plague vocal synth-type instruments. OVox’s workflow is designed to be instant, without any of the rout- ing typical of other vocoders and vocal synthesizers. Furthermore, MIDI control is optional, meaning that it can be used without a keyboard or controller; simply use the voice (or a recorded vocal) to trigger automatic chords, harmonies, or scales using OVox’s automatic Note Mapper.
