Trailblazing Tokyo-based music tech start-up Dreamtonics is excited to announce the full release of its real-time, AI-powered voice creation and transformation plugin - Vocoflex; along with three revolutionary bundles combining Vocoflex, their flagship Synthesizer V Studio Pro and a variety of realistic-sounding voice databases.
To celebrate, Dreamtonics are offering 20% off Vocoflex from 30th July until 31st August and 20% off all other Dreamtonics products, bundles & voice databases from 30th July until 6th August 2024.
Intended for multiple music production, live performance, sound and character voice design use cases, Vocoflex is the new, industry standard voice transformation plugin that lets users:
- Define a target voice -either by importing a voice sample as brief as 10 seconds, or using a feature that randomly generates voices based on user-specified gender and tone.
- Analyze your imported voices - and turn them into a curve. Each dot on the curve represents a small chunk taken from the input file. You can even choose from our pre-loaded selection of voice presets to get you started, or use a color picker for voices, and an X/Y Pad to customize their gender. Change the timbre by randomizing the hue and share the hex code with your friends!
- Record a voice - plug a microphone into your soundcard or load up Vocoflex as a plugin in your DAW, then start performing and Vocoflex will automatically change your voice based on the imported or generated voices.
- Transform your voices - adjust the pitch, gain and move the light probe to create a range of voice effects in real-time, then save them as new presets. Voices under the light will be added together and those in the shadow will be “subtracted” from the rest.
- Control voices via MIDI - add way points to curves and map each to your MIDI controller’s buttons, knobs or sliders for more tactile movement between voices vs using a mouse.
Main Vocoflex use cases:
- Change voice gender - turn male into female and vice versa.
- Blend male and female voices - to create something androgynous-sounding and unique..
- Create backing vocals - from lead vocals and vice versa.
- Transform and blend voices - while performing in real-time.
- Write vocal ideas and create demos - using any voice of your choice and send to vocalists or rappers to learn before recording their parts for real.
- Access unlimited voice types - expanding upon the range of voice databases currently available through Synthesizer V Studio Pro.
- Create other-worldly voices - for experimental music and character sound design.
- Experiment with voice extrapolation - making strong-sounding voices stronger, and weak-sounding voices weaker, for all kinds of audio content use cases.
- Add as a plugin before your vocal effects chain - for even more creative flexibility, processing options and mixing finesse.
Better yet! Use Vocoflex together with Synthesizer V Studio Pro and your choice of voice databases to create complete voice customisations from start-to-finish - making our selection of bundles the new, industry-standard vocal creation workflow for professionals.
Simply import a MIDI file into Synthesizer V Studio Pro or play melody in real-time using a MIDI keyboard, choose your voice database type, enter some lyrics and then blend, morph, replace and transform your results into unique and novel voices using Vocoflex. No other software bundle offers this kind of creative voice creation and transformation power!
In addition to Vocoflex, Dreamtonics are also excited to offer the following Bundles from 30th July via their store:
- Synthesizer V Studio Pro + 1 Voice Bundle.
- Synthesizer V Studio Pro + Vocoflex.
- Synthesizer V Studio Pro & Vocoflex + 2 x Voices Bundle.

Kanru Hua, CEO of Dreamtonics comments:
“Singing voice conversion (SVC) technology has been around for a few years now. As a technical person, I am genuinely excited by the technical advances, but at the same time feeling disappointed and betrayed that more often than not, it’s only used to create (often ethically questionable) covers, and fails to produce anything original or make a lasting, positive influence on modern-day culture.
This is why after releasing Synthesizer V, we soon realized that there’s much more potential in this space. We consequently discovered that using some clever statistical tricks, mapping the voice characteristics onto a 2D space and interpolating between, even extrapolating from them to create entirely new voices! This then led to figuring out how to reduce the latency and make it possible to perform in real-time - the voice equivalence of a DJ. A step further on from that, we then enabled connecting a MIDI foot pedal, and let the singer or actor take full control of the voice while singing or speaking, so that all parts could be performed by the same person. This eventually led to an initial beta version of Vocoflex, and we are now delighted to release a final version to market! SVC deserves a revolution, a release of creativity, a wave of inspiration that will change the course of music and vocal production, and we are proud to be standing at the forefront.“
But while Vocoflex and all associated bundles are designed for creative applications, Dreamtonics understands the potential risks and ethical implications of its use beyond these intended purposes. To prevent unauthorized usage, Vocoflex incorporates an audio watermarking feature. Undetectable to the ear, this feature embeds a user-unique license ID into the voice, enabling Dreamtonics to identify both the use of Vocoflex and the creator of the audio sample, deterring users from importing voice samples without the singer or users consent - a practice prohibited by their usage terms.
Dreamtonics’ advanced watermarking technology, integrated directly into the voice generation model, is designed to be tamper-proof, thus ensuring the integrity of the program against attempts to bypass the watermarking. Additionally, it is resilient against various audio manipulations such as mixing with background music and lossy compression through a telephone-quality channel.
But while Vocoflex and all associated bundles are designed for creative applications, Dreamtonics understands the potential risks and ethical implications of its use beyond these intended purposes. As a precautionary measure, the initial offering of Vocoflex requires ID verification through Dreamtonics’ KYC-service partner. To further prevent unauthorized usage, Vocoflex incorporates an audio watermarking feature, enabling Dreamtonics to identify the creator of altered voices and discourage users from importing voice samples without the singer’s consent - a practice prohibited by the usage terms.
Kanru Hua, concludes:
“Dreamtronics adheres to ethical AI usage, never blurring any moral and legal boundaries, and encourages users to use Vocoflex to expand their creative possibilities with the artist’s, actor’s, vocalist’s or user’s full knowledge and transparency.’’

What top professionals are saying about Vocoflex & The Dreamtonics Bundles"I am finding tonnes of possibilities with Vocoflex. Right now, I just added interesting character by layering different textures and effects to a vocal hook, and I see tonnes of possibilities for vocal effects."
Chris Garcia - Vocal Producer & Music Producer
(Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey, Adele, Katie Perry, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Capital Cities, Santana, Nicole Scherzinger)
"Oh my word, Vocoflex is amazing!! I’ve been testing it today and it’s unbelievably good! So many useful options for vocal treatment, backing vocals and harmonies when you have limited singers or voice types in a production!”
Alan Branch - Grammy Award-winning Mixer, Engineer, Producer, Writer and Musician
(U2, Jeff Beck, Beverly Knight, Sinead O'Connor, Nine Inch nails, Boy George, Primal Scream, Sade, The Cure)
"This Synthesizer V is insane!"
IG Culture - Music Producer, Remixer & DJ
(CoOp Presents, Selectors Assemble, NameBrandSound, Son Of Scientist, Likwid Biskit, New Sector Movements, Quango)
"Vocoflex is by far, hands down the best voice morphing plugin. It's got it all, I am even using it for creating experimental music beyond the use case (like making vocal chops) because the realtime morphing produces an effect that you just can't recreate with any other FX chain. The voice generation is on another level. Unlike other AI tools, there tends to remain artefacts and some bits might lack quality, but the experience with Vocoflex has been seamless, the quality of output is top notch and clean. As for Synthesizer V Studio Pro. Again, I haven't used something so powerful. The interface is easy to understand and the piano roll is well done. I am able to express details like breaths, being able to extend the notes of previous words to another note in a very life-like manner. Extremely well done."
