What Manipulator does
The plugin is built to bend sculpt sounds into new ones, altering the timbre and pitch of vocals and instruments through a set of ten different effects that can be chained in endless combinations. Up to four polyphonic voices can be used to create harmonies from a single source, and existing performances can be reworked to change their melodies.
Manipulator is offered as a new kind of vocal-transforming processor and runs in real-time processing for live performance. Its extensive modulation capabilities let the transformation move over time.
