ONE VOCAL PATH · FOUR SCREENS · COMING SOON

The ultimate vocal chain.
And a chicken.

Chicken Vocals is one low-latency processor for the whole vocal path. Its four screens follow the signal from chromatic Tune to the last wash of reverb, with 10.0 ms selected for Tune latency and the dry vocal kept at the centre of Width.

  • 4 screens
  • 13 fixed processing stages
  • 10.0 ms selected Tune latency

01 / Tune

Chromatic Tune has a 10.0 ms latency target.

Amount sets correction depth. Speed follows the centre, while Natural retains expressive movement and Formants chooses Preserve or Shift.

WHAT THE STAGES ARE FOR

A vocal has more than one kind of problem.

The order is fixed. Each stage receives the result of the previous one, so phrase levelling happens before peak control and the spatial effects come after tone.

01

Tune follows the slow centre.

Amount sets correction depth. Natural retains a share of the expressive movement around that centre, and low-confidence frames return to delayed dry.

The target is chromatic.

02

Gain Hand works at phrase scale.

It rides long vocal level before the compressors.

03

Sharp consonants meet the De-Esser next.

Frequency sets the detector region.

Amount caps the requested reduction.

04

FET catches. Opto settles.

The fixed compressor pair gives the fast stage responsibility for peaks, then hands the result to a slower levelling stage whose timing and ratio remain independently controllable.

05

Four tone stages, one printed order.

Tenderizer comes first.

Chicken EQ handles precise moves; Program EQ supplies the broader curve.

Pop Top finishes.

06

The centre stays dry.

Width adds side voices without moving it.

07

Echo waits for a gap in the words.

Duck reduces the repeat under direct vocal energy.

Throw raises the send for an automatable moment.

08

Lush Space receives the repeat.

Echo feeds the reverb in the printed signal order, and the wet envelope can stay Natural or switch to the defined Nonlinear shape while the dry path remains intact.

FOUR SCREENS

They show the same signal path.

Changing screens affects visibility only. The selected screen never changes processing latency, parameter state or automation identity.

01

TUNE

The controls describe the correction.

Amount, Speed and Natural each have one job. Formants chooses Preserve or Shift, while Range limits detector candidates.

02

DYNAMICS

Gain Hand feeds the fixed compressor pair.

The De-Esser sits between them, after phrase levelling and before FET into Opto, because those processors solve different time-scale problems.

03

TONE

The broad curve comes after the precise one.

Tenderizer prepares the spectrum.

Chicken EQ and Program EQ remain complete modules.

Pop Top is last.

04

WIDTH + SPACE

The dry vocal stays in the middle.

Balanced or Offset side voices lead into ducked Echo, then Lush Space closes the 13-stage path.

THE ACCEPTED PRODUCT DEFINITION

The path contains 13 fixed stages.

Version 1 begins at Tune and ends after Lush Space plus Output Safety. Screen changes leave the route alone. State and automation remain attached to the same host controls.

  • 10.0 ms selected Tune latency at 6 sample rates
  • 4 screens with one signal order
  • FET feeds Opto
  • Width retains the dry centre
  • Echo feeds Lush Space

COMING SOON

Coming soon is the whole status.

Tune has a selected latency architecture. Its sound acceptance remains open. Downstream DSP and paid delivery are still in progress.

The public site stays informational until installed formats pass their gates. Trial and installer work must pass too; release comes last.
