VoiceMachine actually consists of two effects - the VM Processor and the VM Generator. The Processor features pitch shifting, an LFO and formant control. Formants are the qualities that make a human voice distinctive, and particularly what differentiates male from female voices.
If you have even speeded up a vocal you will have heard the chipmunk effect. This is what happens when the entire pitch of a vocal is raised but the formants change. However, by preserving the formants, you can change the pitch of a voice without changing its essential characteristics so male stays male and female stays female.
And by adjusting the formants but keeping the pitch the same, you can change a male voice into a female voice and vice versa. This is great fun! Using the pitch control in the VM Processor, you can apply all variations of pitch and formant shifting to create all manner of voices. These can sound very natural, very dark, very twee, or very sci fi.
The Processor also includes an LFO with delay for adding or enhancing the vibrato in a voice.
Finally, you can play vocals from an attached MIDI keyboard, using the keys to control the pitch. Alternatively, you can use a pre-recorded MIDI track. This is quite vocoder-like and quite impressive.
