It was packaged with Cakewalk SONAR from about version 5 or 6. The last version that included it was SONAR X2.<\/p>\n<p>V-Vocal has been compared unfavorably to other &#8220;vocal editor&#8221; software such as the better known Melodyne or Antares Autotune, but it is actually a very capable tool when used judiciously.<\/p>\n<p>V-Vocal still works in SONAR X3, although due to a change in company ownership, it is no longer part of the SONAR installation. However, if you have previous versions of SONAR installed, V-Vocal will be available. In fact, in my opinion, ironically V-Vocal works better in X3 than in any previous version of SONAR.<\/p>\n<p>However, some quirks remain, and one of them is the default values used for several of the editing parameters. I&#8217;m always having to remember to adjust the FORMANT parameter in particular, every time the V-Vocal window is launched.<\/p>\n<p>These default values can be changed, though, through some careful editing of an arcane .INI file. All credit for this hack goes to Tom Parker for <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.cakewalk.com\/FindPost\/917054\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this post on the SONAR user forum<\/a> in December 2006.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to copy the instructions here for quick access, and in case the post is removed from the forum or lost in the cloud:<\/p>\n<p>1. First, make a backup copy of the file C:\\Program Files\\Cakewalk\\Shared Dxi\\Vvocal\\Skin\\VVocal.INI<\/p>\n<p>2. Then edit the original VVocal.INI file<\/p>\n<p>3. Starting at line 130 you&#8217;ll see a section &#8220;Display 8 ( Formant Control )&#8221;. <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; There are 3 values (on 2 lines) that need to be changed. <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; Recommended: Change them all from 100 to 0:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; a) Ctrl181 3rd value (Value if you double click in the &#8220;PITCH FOLLOW&#8221; graphic dial center)<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; b) Ctrl181 17th value (Initial value for the graphic dial)<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; c) Ctrl183 17th value (The critical Initial value; this will be displayed in the box below the dial)<\/p>\n<p>4. Save the changes, and re-start SONAR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>V-Vocal is a monophonic audio editing plugin developed using Roland technology, integrated into the SONAR product.
