Hi
Watch this video for details.

It looks to me if they may be using zplane elastic technology (used in Vielklang) to me - the way they are doing the harmony module - although this sounds better on this demo and it says it has up to 4 voices - I think vielklang is 4
 
these videos always make things look so easy and sound good
 
US$99 Upgrade for Nectar users - seems to be a bit of a repeating theme at the moment - product released, is Ok but not quite there - a little while later V2 is released and we pay again to get what I think we should have had initially
 
But anyway, decisions, decisions.

YES! finally.
 
I am just waiting for all the 3rd party vendor sales now.
 
I want to pick up the complete bundle Alloy 2, Ozone 5, Nectar 2, RX3 if the price comes down.
Plugindiscounts has the whole thing for under $500.
ideally that seems like the way to go for cheapest price wise  Though Nectar 2 isn't included yet.
 
but I have had my eye on Nectar for a long time, v2 looks like they added some great stuff.  Distortion now on vocal fx etc.

 I'd recommend trying the demo if there is one. There's not a huge amount of love for NECTAR  in forum land and it tends to drown out people who actually use it.

I'm definitely going for the bundle at around $500. I can't wait to get it, except I will. I have to wait for a few months as I scrape together funds for this and recover from several other recent items purchases like Sonar X3 and Melodyne Editor.

But I'm really excited about everything in the Izotope bundle and very much interested in getting Nectar 2 in my set up.

Do you have any links with bad comments about Necatar 2?  The few comments on Gearslutz are positive so far, and KVR has (a very limited) number of positive remarks so far (except that you can't use keyboard input into the harmonizer in Logic).

None. I was referring to Nectar. Nectar  2 is new out. I recommend trying it out .

Just getting into Nectar 2.
I think they keep improving things overall.
The addition of the Plate Reverb emulation is very nice.
 
The harmony engine is a nice addition as well.
I am trying to get the MIDI control to work as you can play the harmonies up to 10 voices I think it mentioned in the manual.
If you already own Nectar it seems to be a very nice upgrade.

I was able to get the MIDI control going for the Harmony generator and it is really fun.
You configure the VST 2 as a synth and that exposes the MIDI input.
When the MIDI control is active it will listen for you to play while the vocal is going and will kick the harmonies in when you play on your controller.
 
There are settings to introduce variations in the timing adn pitch of the harmonies to help them sound more individualized.  You can also get some crazy effects according to the octave range you play on the controller in regards to the lead vocal.
 
Very interesting possibilities.

I was ok with paying $49 for Nectar Elements, but I don't think I need to upgrade, which for me would be $129.00.

I'm anticipating getting the bundle, which includes Nectar 2, Ozone 5 and Alloy 2. I think Nectar 2 looks really intriguing.

Groove3 happens to have some discounts at the moment - and the Izotope Alloy 2 tutorial is presently downloadable for $10. That's going to be my starting point as I try to figure out how to scrape together the funds.
