Add built-in volume, pan, delay, EQ and you can probably come up with rather competent vox! That’s already potent creative fodder, but there’s more – Vocal Tuner does pitch correction on the device itself, AIR Doubler fills out vocal tracks with faux double-tracking, and AIR Harmonizer generates 4-part harmonies from a single vocal.
