About Volos
Volos is a voice-processing app that combines automatic tuning, harmony, and vocoding. Pick a track from your music collection or Volos’s free beat library to sing or rap  over, and Volos will guess the key of the track and tune your voice to that key.

  • Apply automatic tuning or harmony to your recording
  • Over 50 vocal effects
  • Sing or rap over hundreds of free beats
  • Change effects and settings after recording
  • Get featured and grow your fanbase

Intended Audience
This manual is designed to give intermediate and advanced users more insight into all of Volos’s features and to give a full description of all presets, effects, and processing  tools, as well as give an overview of some of the music theory behind Volos’s scales, keys, effects and more.
About This Manual
The 4th Edition was written, edited and designed by Kaye Loggings with support from Resonant Cavity, the team behind Volos. This manual uses the Humanins illustration  library by Pablo Stanley.

SETUP & CONSIDERATIONS

Recording Environment
When recording audio, it’s best to work in the quietest room possible to prevent any background noise or reflection. Your environment also matters – a bathroom may be more private, but a tiled wall can create a boom, reflective sound. The duller the walls and area around you, the clearer sound you can achieve. This is the idea behind professional recording booths.
Microphones & Headphones
Voloco is designed to work with your iOS or Android device’s built-in mics and speakers. The app can also accommodate a wide variety of headphones & external microphones, from the headset & mic that came with your smartphone to professional-grade microphones. Make sure any external microphone is compatible with your smartphone & connected before open- ing Voloco. If you have a professional stand-alone mic, you will need an audio interface compatible with your device to connect the mic on one end and your device on the other. There are a range of audio interfaces available for purchase that are compatible with both iOS and Android devices.
For the best audio quality, use at least a headset & mic, such as the headphones that came with your smartphone. Using headphones allows you to hear the backing track or beat and your vocal monitor (your voice through Volos’s effects) live while recording, without that sound getting picked up on your recording (called feedback – feedback is what to avoid)! When you don’t have headphones plugged in, Volos will not output monitor audio while recording.
When using a headset with built-in mic, it’s recommended to hold the microphone near your mouth level rather than letting it dangle below your head. This microphone  position allows a better recording quality to capture the sibilance of your voice, or the higher frequency sounds such as the “S” and “T” sounds your mouth naturally makes  when singing or speaking. However, don’t hold the mic too close – placing it directly in front of your mouth can result in blown-out, distorted audio. Roughly 6 inches (15 cm) from your mouth is a good balance.

Bluetooth – Pros & Cons
Many people use Bluetooth headphones for the convenience of a wireless connection. Most Bluetooth headsets also have a built-in microphone for taking phone calls or recording audio. Some Volos users like to use Bluetooth headsets while recording tracks, but this comes with a tradeoff: because Bluetooth is transmitting lots of information wirelessly, there can be a delay (or latency) between the backing track and your recorded vocals, as well as latency when listening to vocal monitoring, because of the time it takes to transmit audio + the time it takes Volos to process your audio. When possible, use wired headphones/microphones with Volos to reduce latency for the most accurate recording, keeping your vocals on top of the beat. However, if you do use Bluetooth headsets, Volos will record audio from your device’s built-in microphone, not the microphone in your Bluetooth headset.

VOLOCO 4th Edition Voice Processing App - Pros & Cons This is to eliminate latency and prevent out-of-time recording, and it produces a higher-quality audio recording than the microphone on your Bluetooth headset. Recommendation: turn off Vocal Monitoring when using wireless headphones, as hearing your own vocals on a delay can be jarring and affect your vocal take. After recording, the Time Shift feature adjusts for audio delay over a backing track. To use Time Shift, tap the Time Shift button on an audio clip  in the Edit View to adjust latency or adjust Default Time Shift in Settings – more info on page 23.

Note that certain Effects will auto-select a new Key and Scale that is common to each musical style, but it can be changed after selectin your Effect. For effects with  Pitch correction strength or Arpeggiator speed settings, these controls will appear when that Effect is selected. There are 9 Groups of Effects:VOLOCO 4th Edition Voice
Processing App - audio input Starter
Hard Tune: The classic, “digital” pitch correction used by countless rappers and singers alike. This preset uses a hard, more electronic sound.
Natural Tune: Similar to Hard Tune, but a less pronounced effect with a more natural, rounded tone.
Super Vocoder: Instead of hard-tuning your vocal input, a vocoder takes the formant (character) of your voice and feeds it into a synthesizer for a more “robotic” effect.
Big Chorus: This duplicates your voice into multiple notes in your selected Key and Scale, creating a large chorus effect common in pop, RnB & electronica.
Clean: This effect doesn’t process pitch-correction or a vocoder, and simply uses audio filtering technology to remove background noise.

Modern Rap I
Like a Boss.
World Wide I/II/III: A unison preset with two voices with slightly different pitch correction settings. Each voice has a unique and dynamic spectral panning effect to create an impression of swirling stereo effects. Triple Double: A three voice preset with two slightly different unison voices and a subtle third voice pitched an octave down. Bodyguards: Deep pitch & vocoder. Bodyguards uses a unison voice in the center of the stereo field, and two voices on the left and right sides with a lower octave pitched down and formant compression to create the effect of two bodyguards flanking your voice.
Big Fella: A higher pitched vocoder effect, Big Fella alters the formant shape of your voice to change your perceived body size.
Shadow Bass: A lower octave sits below your voice with heavy pitch correction. Light Distortion: Adds mild distortion to the voice with a lower- octave effect.

Modern Rap II

Congrats: A chordal sound with chorus effect, inspired by the vocals of Post Malone’s “Congratulations.”
2% Helium : Electronic pitch-correction with formant effects reducing the perceived size of the vocal tract, resulting in a higher tone.
Force Field: Hard pitch-correction & vocoder effects with a rough shine.
Super High: Formant thinning and one-octave pitch correction for sky-high vocals.
Cranked: Formant thinning with crunchy, blown-out distortion, great for backing vocals.
Baby Voice: A smoother high-pitched effect infantilizing.
P- Taine
Extreme pitch correction plus sexy seventh chords. Perfect for RnB and rap.
Looking Sharp: A basic rap/RnB pitch-correction sound that you know and love.
Get Low: Rap/RnB pitch-correction at a lower octave for a deeper tone.
So Smooth: A classic Minor 7th chord for your smoothest tracks.
Star Duet: Pitch correction with a subtle two-tone chorus.
Talk box
Classic and future electro-funk sounds.
Classic: A talk box emulation sound inspired by Zap & Roger.
Fat Saw: A buzzy two oscillator patch with a lower octave.
High Harmony: Stacked harmony with a classic pitch-bent tremolo effect typical in funk.
Metal Mouth: Power chord harmonies and crunch inspired by heavy metal.
Organ: Stacked octaves mimic the sound of an electric organ.
Sci Fi: Takes the talk box sound to outer space with LFOs that modulate FM synthesis.
Spooky
Eerie, fearsome, and slightly threatening.
Behind You: Pitch correction with eerie, delayed whispers right over your shoulder.
Alien Warlord: Pitch correction with vocoder for a deep, authoritative and UFO appropriate sound.
Ghost: Vocoder with a frail, after-death growl.
Angry Bells: A harmonization preset with harmonics detuned to resemble bell spectra.
Medium Demon: A frequency-modulated, LFO effect for experimentation. Only slightly demonic.
LOL
lol is an initialism for laugh(Ing) out loud and a popular element of internet slang.
Vibrato: Moves the pitch of the input up and down in a repeating pattern.
Vibrato Chorus: Same as the above effect, but adds a doubling chorus sound.
Drunk Tune: A loose, pitch-corrected effect that moves in and out of in- and out-of-tune.
Chipmunk Chorus: A squeaky, high-formant-filtered lead with backing harmonies.
Vocal Fry: I mean, like, it’s kind of a growly kind of effect, you know? Yeah…
Sitar Hero
Inspired by Indian classical music.
A Drone Supreme: Chorus with a free-flowing melodic run.
Ascension: Melodic vocoder with a soft gated stutter.
Om: Run up and down the scale with a strong backing drone & delay.
Interstellar: Multiple tone centers along the scale create clusters of harmony.
Bon Hiver
Lush harmonies in the style of Bon Ivar’s song “Woods.”
Night Chorus: A full-bodied 7th chord effect in the style of the artist.
Crystal City: 7th Chords with the low end scooped out & mild frequency modulation. A light, airy effect.
Grand Organ: Like a combination of Night Chorus & Crystal City, a deep 7th chord with crisp, breathy high-end.
Glass Circles: High-end 7th chords with extra tonal dynamics and overtones.
Daft Pink
Funky vocoder sounds similar to a certain French electronic duo.
Danger Bot: A low-octave robotic vocoder.
Dirty Transmission: Upbeat vocoder with steady gated stutter & jumping octave effects.
Another Dimension: This vocoder introduces a funky lick of harmony on top of a gated volume effect.
Echo Beams: Low-octave robotic vocoder with a pulsating phaser effect. Wormhole Vocoder presets from a different galaxy.
Demogorgon: A low-octave effect with heavy phaser.

Beat the Boss: Extreme gated stutter with an 8 Bit sound.

EQ

An important combination in any vocal mix, EQ, Reverb, & Compression help to sculpt and fill out your sound.

Equalizer
Equalizer (or EQ) works by lowering or amplifying certain frequencies of a sound, whether high, low, or mid-range, to create a color or overall tone.
Bypass: No reverb (the effect is “bypassed”).
Mid-range scoop: A widely-used effect that lowers the mid-range of the sound, creating a combination of crisp highs and deep lows.VOLOCO 4th
Edition Voice Processing App - Equalizer

Brightness: Adds a sheen to high-end sounds including the sibilance of consonant sounds.
Low and high boost: Similar to mid-range scoop, but works by turning up the low and mid-range rather than cutting out the middle.
Vocal Clarity: Accentuates notable frequencies in the vocal range to provide clear, up-front vocals.
Telephone: Cuts out the low and high end, leaving the middle for a canned, phone-like sound.

Compressor
One of the most widely-used audio effects.
Compression works by reducing the amount of dynamics (loud and quiet) in an audio signal, allowing it to sound heavier, clearer and more powerful.

Bypass: No compression (the effect is “bypassed”).
Rap: All-around vocal compression to add definition to rhythm.
Pop: Adds depth to the low-middle range with crisp high-end.
Moderate: A more subtle effect compatible with most vocals.
Parallel compression: Mixes the compressed audio signal with your original, noncompressed audio signal for a lighter effect to add clarity and dynamic while still getting the
volume boost and punch of compression.
Bla s ted: Intense compression. Loud and clear, with less dynamics. Useful for heavy tracks, but could be overbearing for a softer one.
Reverb
Reverb creates the sound of a space for the vocals to sit in, whether large or small.

Bypass: No reverb (the effect is “bypassed”).
Stereo width: Wide reverb effect best heard in headphones.
The rest of the reverb effects evoke spaces described by their names:
Large hall
Small club
Long and narrow
Cathedral
Medium room
About Keys & Scales
What are Keys?
Almost all pieces of Western music are in a particular key. When you hear someone say, “In the Key of D,” that means the pitch D sounds like the “home” sound, or the most  “stable” note in the key. This stable, home note is sometimes called tonic. There are 12 notes in most Western music:VOLOCO 4th
Edition Voice Processing App - particular key

Scales are a collection of notes in a certain key that evoke a certain sound or emotion. Generally speaking, most people hear major keys as “happy” or bright, and minor keys as “sad” or dark. Scales are chosen by the way the different notes relate to one another, and you can have the same kind of scale in a different key (For example, C minor and D minor both evoke the same “sad” sound, but have different “home” notes or tonic notes).
Try to experiment with the different scales in Voloco to discover what kind of feeling each scale evokes for your track. When using a backing track or beat, Voloco will automatically select the Key and Scale for your Beat, but you can change it manually if you wish.

Keys & Scales

Tap the “Key” button in Performance View to view Keys and Scales.
Major: One of the most commonly used scales in Western Music, a generically “happy” and warm tone. Major third, major 7th.
Minor: Also one of the most commonly used scales in Western Music, a generically “sad” and cold, serious tone. Minor third, minor 6th, minor 7th.
Harmonic Minor: Same as Minor, but with a Major 7th note. Harmonic minor is associated with a “spooky” mood in popular culture.
Whole Tone: Each note is equidistant, a whole step above each other note. This results in a classic “spooky” horror sound or a “fantasy” sound.VOLOCO
4th Edition Voice Processing App - Keys & Scales

Just Intonation: Just Intonation uses a series of whole-number ratios to create a scale, rather than dividing an octave into 12 equidistant notes. This is useful if the backing track you’re using is tuned in Just Intonation (sometimes called Pure Intonation).
Major Pentatonic: One of the most commonly used scales globally in many different kinds of music. A 5-note scale consisting of a Tonic note, a major 2nd, a 5th, a major  6th, and a major 3rd.
Minor Pentatonic: Similar to a Major pentatonic, with a minor 3rd. This is also a very commonly used scale globally and is similar to the Blues scale, with a few less notes.
Blues: Similar to the Minor Pentatonic scale, but with a distinctive sharp 4th note in-between the 4th and 5th in the scale that gives it the “bluesy” tone.
Chromatic: Every note in the 12-note system – this will correct your audio input to the closest note, but won’t give the scale any specific color besides what you sing into it.

Mix

Control the recording and monitoring levels of audio. You can see a colored meter that shows input volume. The meter will turn red if input volume is peaking (above normal range).
Live: Your Vocal Monitor. Disabled when no headphones are connected.
Vocals: Vocal input volume from the microphone.
Backing Track Volume: Volume of the backing track in monitoring and recording.VOLOCO 4th Edition Voice Processing App - Track

Your lyrics will be  saved by Title, and the next time you open the Lyrics Pad, a list of lyrics will appear. Tap the + icon to create a new set of lyrics, or tap “…” next to an existing song to Share  or Delete those lyrics.

Pitch Correction vs. Vocoder
Volos’s Effects presets use one of two types of vocal processing effects to create unique sounds: Pitch Correction and Vocoder effects.
Pitch Correction works by detecting the incoming pitch of recorded audio (in this case, your vocals) then calculates the closest neighboring desired pitch within a specified key or scale. Pitch correction technology was used sparingly in high-end studios until 1997, when pitch correction technology became widely available due to improvements in mathematic signal processing with computers. These effects will give a more modern sound common in contemporary hip-hop, RnB, and pop.
The vocoder sound dates back much further, to the late 1920s, and consists of multiple channels of information that the device is processing in real-time. Vocoders capture the vocal characteristics of the voice – in this case, the formant (tone), sibilance, and pitch. These characteristics are then applied to the carrier signal (in Voloco vocoder presets, the carrier signal is a synthesizer tone). This allows a musical tone, such as a synth, guitar, violin, or any instrument, to take on vocal characteristics and “talk.” Vocoders were very popular in the 1970s and 1980s and can be heard in countless funk, boogie, experimental, and krautrock recordings, as well as house, techno, and trance later into the 1990s and beyond.
Experimenting with both of these types of effects is crucial to finding the perfect tone for your track. Using the descriptions above can help you craft your sound.

Quick Switch (Premium Only)
Quick Switch allows you to select up to 3 effects presets for quick selection.

  1. Tap the Quick Switch button at the top right of the screen in Performance View.VOLOCO 4th Edition Voice Processing App - QuickSwitch

Note: Clip Volume and Track Volume are independent of each other. Track Volume is applied after Clip volume in the mixdown.
Time Shift

When using certain types of microphones and headphones, especially Bluetooth, audio can be recorded at a delay due to the latency caused by a wireless connection.  though
we recommend using Wired headphones with Voloco to avoid latency, Time Shift allows you to correct for audio latency (delay) in the vocal track by moving the backing  track in time to match the vocal. The Default Time Shift settings (left) will be applied to all new recorded audio clips, and you can also adjust individual segments in the Edit  View after recording by tapping on the segment and tapping Time Shift (right). If you aren’t noticing any audible delay in your recordings, there is no need to adjust this setting. VOLOCO
