Description: Sing into your Organelle and hold keys. Every held key becomes a harmony voice singing at that pitch. Kaleidovocoder is a keyboard-driven vocal harmonizer + vocoder inspired by the “Messina” harmony rig heard on Bon Iver’s 22, A Million (not affiliated).

Features:
– Up to 4 harmony voices that follow the keys, not your melody
– Random octave dealing: choose how many voices leave their octave (Move %), which way (Balance), how far (up to ±3 octaves), exact or random counts, re-dealt per key, per phrase or on a timer
– Octave doubles (down / up / opposite / random)
– Tuned dry (hard-tune to held keys) and Tonic layer (your voice pinned to one note)
– 12-band vocoder with blend, band sharpness, sibilance and formant shift
– Smooth / Gritty / Raw shifter (Raw keeps the note-change clicks)
– Grit (tube-style saturation), pulse gate, Stereo or Split output (harmonies left, dry right)
– Instrument mode for synths and loops
– Pure Data vanilla, no externals; heavy features switch off at zero to save CPU

Tips: works great into a pitch/delay pedal and reverb. I recommend trying Split output with the left side into shimmer/reverb.

Install: copy the Kaleidovocoder folder into Patches. Keep all files together.
