Waves Harmony

What Waves Harmony Is For

Waves Harmony is a vocal harmonization plugin designed to instantly create choirs, doubles, and full vocal arrangements, both in the studio and live performance settings. It is aimed at producers, singer-songwriters, beatmakers, and sound engineers who want to transform a lead vocal into dense vocal stacks, build harmonic responses, or add creative vocal effects without multiplying takes. Whether you're looking for a simple harmony on a hook, a wide choir effect on a chorus, or "designed" voices for vocal sound design, Harmony speeds up the workflow while staying musical.

Main Features

Immediate and musical harmonies (up to 8 voices)

From a single vocal track, the plugin generates up to 8 harmony voices to create choirs, thickened unisons, octaves, or complex stacks. Each voice can be individually shaped to achieve a more natural feel (timbre variation via formant) or, conversely, a more pronounced and modern effect.

Three workflow options: Auto, MIDI, and Graphic

Auto mode: ideal for speed, with chord presets and instant settings to find a harmony that works even without deep musical theory knowledge. MIDI mode: perfect for playing harmonies live, by connecting a MIDI keyboard and controlling notes or chords while you sing. Graphic mode: designed for arrangement, with visual editing allowing you to draw harmonies and precisely fine-tune the intonation, placement, and texture of each voice.

Preset bank and instant inspiration

With over 450 creative presets (factory and "artist vibes" oriented), Harmony lets you quickly audition different vocal aesthetics and move from simple harmonic reinforcement to spectacular stacking, doubling, or bolder voicings effects. It's an excellent starting point to find a sonic direction and then refine the sound according to the production.

An integrated palette of vocal effects to thicken and color

Beyond harmonization, Waves Harmony functions as a vocal production toolbox: panning management to widen the stereo field, delays to add depth, filtering to place voices in the mix, and modulation to bring movement. The result: larger-than-life choirs, lush doubles, and vocal textures ready to fit into a modern production.
