No V-Vocal in X3. Saddening. Melodyne?

I was watching my video lessons on Sonar (X2) and it had a tool called V-Vocal. I got excited when I saw what it can do for voice FX.
I go to find it and it's not in my copy of X3... Melodyne is. Now I'm kind of bummed because I want to abuse it for voice FX and make unnatural sounds with it. Especially electronic sounding voices.
 
Can the same effect be achieved in melodyne with making a robotic voice? I could care less about pitch correction I want to abuse the hell out of the vocals I get.

    Yes
     
    Also just do an Internet search for "Melodyne Robot".

    To do the full deal on robotic voices, unfortunately (or fortunately) you need to upgrade to Melodyne's Editor version so you can flatten any pitch modulation. The Essential version is designed pretty much to do pitch correction.
     
    The reason I say "fortunately" is because the Editor version is, IMHO, much better than V-Vocal. But V-Vocal had more capabilities than Essential does. The problem was it has increasingly exhibited instability as Windows and SONAR have evolved, because V-Vocal hasn't been upgraded in years and likely won't be.
     
    However, V-Vocal has been a part of SONAR for quite some time. If you can buy an old version (usually way cheap at this point), you can install it just to have V-Vocal. But if you can swing the bucks for an upgrade to Editor, it's a fantastic program and it does polyphonic pitch correction too...I used it to correct a slide guitar part where one of the notes was out of tune.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

    I'm looking at the Melodyn page and I'm thinking the structure of the features for the apps, isn't really that intuitive; in fact it seems way backwards for which editions have what features (mainly 64-bit and 32-bit)
