March 3, 1999 -- Encompassing the heritage of more than 20 years of delivering professional tools to the audio industry, TC Electronic proudly introduces a high-end vocal processing tool aimed at reducing tedious engineering time spent on doing vocal retakes, dedicated to the professional vocal recording engineer.

"When dealing with unique human vocals the preserving of tonal integrity is absolutely essential," says International Marketing Manager Kenneth Ersgard. He adds, "the vocal processor not only provides the ultimate solution to vocal pitch correction, but offers various highly useful tools as well, including TC Electronic's proprietary adjustable De-esser and Adaptive Low-Cut (ALC™) filtering techniques."

The vocal intonation processor provides you with an ultra-transparent signal path thanks to industry-leading hardware specifications, incorporating TC's world-renowned DARC™-chip technology, 96 kHz internal processing and real 24 bit resolution. The ADIOS™ (Analog Dual I/O's) configuration enables simultaneous recording of processed and un-processed vocal, and full MIDI automation makes correlation to external reference-signal a breeze.

The Intonator preserves the Artist's personal touch by allowing vibrato, initial intonation and limited correction individually. A unique "Do-not-process-anything-but-this-note" setting can be achieved via the custom scale feature. The Pitch Window allows you to specify when a note will be considered out of tune, whereas the Amount control limits the level of Pitch correction added to these. Utmost care has been taken in the software development as well, ensuring that all fine adjustments applied to the incoming signal are being processed in a subtle, yet highly effective manner!
