I then spent a frustrating number of days getting nowhere, before discovering you have to make sure you have a ‘send’ in the ‘Inspector window’ in the left zone in Cubase linking your audio (vocal) track to the ‘Harmony Engine,’ and make sure the ‘send’ is active. I re-checked the tutorials and re-read the Antares manual, but it appeared I had followed the right procedure. To my dismay, when playing the vocal track, the engine didn’t work, no matter what I tried. It appeared that by calling up the plug in and dragging it, not onto the track, but the ‘input/output section of Cubase, where it creates its own track, was all that was required the rest was automatic. With four independent harmony voices, a variety of flexible harmony generating modes, and humanization features for more natural sounding performances, Harmony Engine gives you the tools you need to produce any vocal arrangement you can imagine.Having downloaded and installed the Antares Harmony Engine Evo program, I watched a couple of ‘on-line’ tutorials and read the ‘user’ manual before recording a voice track in Cubase, and testing the Antares software. Auto-Key is designed to save you countless hours in the studio by automatically detecting the key and scale of your music, and sending that information to Harmony Engine with a single click. Harmony engine is also compatible with the Auto-Key plug-in (sold separately). Meticulously craft your own vocal arrangement note-by-note, perform your harmonies with your MIDI controller, or simply choose the chords and let Harmony Engine do the rest. Harmony Engine provides all the tools you need to produce lush and convincing harmonies. And five channels of Choir vocal multiplier lets you turn each harmony voice into 2, 4, 8, or 16 individual unison voices.

Harmony Engine features four high-quality harmony voices with independently adjustable vocal character, vibrato, and pan settings for realistic or extreme effects. It offers a variety of control modes, from fully automatic to individual control of every note. Whether you’re an experienced arranger, a songwriter looking for the perfect backup vocal, or a producer experimenting with unique effects, Harmony Engine gives you new ways to create the harmony parts you hear in your head.
