Vocal Channel Strip. A vocal that sits on top of the mix, every night.
Vocal Channel Strip - by Harmovant AudioFilters, console EQ, opto and FET compression, multiband saturation, de-esser and a 12-band dynamic EQ. Seven stages you can reorder, built for the stage, with zero latency.
Sales open together with Harmovant Audio Hub, the free app for Harmovant account holders that installs and activates every plugin. Leave your e-mail and we will tell you on launch day.
The voice on top of the mix, without fighting it.
A whole vocal chain, one window
Filter, EQ, two compressors, saturation, de-esser and dynamic EQ, in the order you want. No more stacking six plugins on the lead vocal.
Steady level, even when the singer moves
The opto evens out the performance and the FET catches the peaks. The voice stays in front, from the quiet verse to the last chorus.
Harshness only when it shows up
The de-esser and dynamic EQ act on sibilance and harsh notes only at the moment they happen, and leave the rest of the voice untouched.
Seven stages, one insert
Filter
High and low-pass filters from 12 to 48 dB per octave.
Console
A 4-band console EQ with two curve characters and gentle transformer colour.
Opto + FET
A smooth optical leveller followed by a fast FET compressor, each with its own meter and mix.
Saturate
1 or 3 bands, five styles (tape, tube, warm, clip and transformer), with a band graph you can drag.
De-ess
Split or wide, high-pass or band-pass detection, with listen.
Dynamic EQ
12 bands: static, dynamic or spectral, per-band stereo placement, auto threshold and external sidechain. Zero latency.
Built for the pressure of a show
No pops on stage
Bypass, reorder and preset changes are crossfaded, and the filters stay stable under fast automation.
Auto gain
The output follows the input level, so you compare changes without being fooled by volume.
Validated
Passes the strictest plugin validation, plus our own robustness tests at every sample rate and buffer size.
Runs on any AU or VST3 host and was built side by side with Live Rack, the Harmovant live plugin console. Live Rack →

About Stage Pass →Frequently asked questions
When can I buy it?
Sales open together with Harmovant Audio Hub. We do not have a date yet: leave your e-mail on this page and you will be the first to know.
What happens if I do not renew updates?
Nothing stops: the plugin keeps working forever on the last version released during your updates year. Renewing (US$ 4.90/year, optional) only unlocks the newer versions.
Does it cut the audio if the license has a problem during a show?
Never in the middle of a show. Licenses are checked without internet, and any action waits for a safe moment, with clear warnings days before.
Buy the plugin or get Stage Pass?
Buy it if you want one or two plugins for good. Stage Pass is better if you want all of them, plus every new Harmovant plugin as soon as it comes out.
