Voices from above — a choir and vocal processor for operatic metal vocals.
AU · VST3 · Standalone · macOS & Windows · AGPL-3.0
About
A channel-strip-style choir and vocal processor for operatic metal vocals: it tames sibilance, adds airy openness above the vocal's natural top end, glues dynamics together with a gentle broadband compressor, and thickens a lead or choir line with a click-free four-voice doubler.
Why the name?
Seraphim are the highest choir of angels — the ones whose only task is to sing. Seraph is the suite's voice specialist: air, de-essing, glue and doubling for leads and choirs that have to soar above a very loud world.
Features
- De-Ess — zero-latency dynamic EQ with tunable center frequency (3–12 kHz), a Width control for the detection band (v0.2.0), and a Listen mode for tuning by ear
- Air — fixed 12 kHz high-shelf for openness above the presence range
- Gentle Compressor — single-knob broadband glue, scaling up to a deliberately gentle 3:1
- Doubler — four independently modulated, detuned voices at per-voice pan positions; click-free by design
- Double Detune / Width — cents detune and stereo spread of the doubled voices
- Mix & Output — overall dry/wet blend and output trim
- Zero reported latency — nothing in the chain needs host delay compensation
- Factory presets & preset management — browse/save/import/export via the in-plugin preset bar
