Ever since I was introduced to music like Imogen Heap, Bon Iver, and in particular Jacob Collier's famous "Harmonizer", I became obsessed with finding a way to replicate the sound of this incredible instrument, the vocal harmonizer.
Commercial plugins offering this effect do exist, but most are limited to four harmony voices, come with a hefty price tag, and are clunky & difficult to use in actual live performance. The closest thing to Jacob Collier's Harmonizer currently available on the market seems to be Antares Harmony Engine, which retails for $249 and only has four harmony voices. (Here's what it sounds like.)
As far as I know, there is no piece of software currently commercially available that offers the features of Jacob Collier's Harmonizer: 16 real-time, incredibly human-sounding harmony voices.
So I decided to create it myself.
