The “Harmonizer” is a semi-real-time Max for live-based musical plugin for the DAW @Ableton. Its basic function is to add musically appropriate harmonies to monophonic input - primarily live singing.
The plugin provides two presets: “automatic” and “manual”. The former always adds successive triads according to the selected key above the sung note, the latter adds the notes closest to the sung note above or below a chord selected by the user.
The typical use case for "automatic" is to turn on only the first harmony that accompanies the first voice, i.e. the input, as a second voice would often do. On the other hand, the typical use case for "manual" is that the user independently selects the current chord in the piece of music and the additional voices sing its notes in the octave of the input song.
The „Harmonizer“ plugin was designed by Michael J. Keplinger with additional work by Elisa Breitenbrunner, Georg Schiffer and Andras Woltron. It was created as part of the media technologies studies at @FHStPoelten (4th semester) for the course “interactive audio/video systems”.
