Nico Baran – The Backups v1.0.0 for WiN

Sing one line, and a sixties revue follows: six singers who will read your pitch, find the key, and perform their parts. The stage is a plugin. Everything you hear, you can see.

The Cast

Six singers, from top to bottom. Each one is a full, harmonious voice with its own part, and each one is painted on the stage: those illuminated sing, those in shadow rest.

Click on the singer to give them instructions

Click on any stage participant, and the rest of the room will be plunged into darkness. He steps into the light with his score, and everyone turns to him. It has everything a real arranger would ask of a backup singer:

Interval
±24 semitones, snapped to your key in Key & Scale mode
Level · Pan
where they stand and how loud they sing
Detune
±50 cents, for doubles that don’t phase
Formant
±6 semitones of throat, with a lock for all six
Delay
0–80 ms of their own, so doublers land a hair late
