iVoxel is not only an amazingly sounding vocoder - the unique concept of iVoxel turns this vocoder into a singing machine. iVoxel is a combination of a voice optimized synthesizer and a vocoder. The vocoder part is based on the Matrix vocoder from VirSyn used by many famous artists - one of them the well known german group Kraftwerk. The channel filters used by iVoxel are based on the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 resulting in a rich and fat analogue sound characteristic.
The pitch follower and automatic tuning let you sing correct to a selectable scale.
You can use iVoxel in many different ways:
As a realtime vocoder talking into the microphone while playing tunes on the keyboard. The sound character of your voice can be changed in many different aspects like pitch, gender or breath noise. Use it to sing over your favorite iTunes song !
Record the analyzed spectrum of phrases and words from your own voice. Then use this voxel to play with your own voice on the keyboard or with the build in sequencer. Nearly 300 hundred prerecorded voxels are already included.
iVoxel is Audiobus compatible and can be used in the Input, Filter and Output slots in the Audiobus signal chain. The carrier signal and the vocal signal can now be fed by any Audiobus compatible Apps.
The output of your creations can be recorded to an audio file which you
can use with other Apps and programs for further processing.

iVoxel FAQ
Is iVoxel free?
Yes, iVoxel is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is iVoxel legit?
🤔 The iVoxel app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Just got this and seems like a great app, but, running this on a 2019 iPad Pro (iOS 18) in standalone mode with nothing else running, the app hangs, especially when I try to change to a different preset. It just starts to run a random sound in the background, and sometimes I can change some settings and sometimes I can’t. For the most part once that weird noise starts, I can’t change anything, can’t change to a different preset, etc., and I just have to close the program out and reboot it. I really want to like this app, but right now it just seems buggy and unusable for me, and I’m bummed that I wasted my money on it. I was considering also getting the matrix vocoder, but now I’m not so sure if I should. As inexpensive as these apps are, I’m low income and I really wish I could get a refund so I can buy something else that will work for me. I’ll be happy to change my review if this gets fixed, because it otherwise seems like it should be a really great app and I know other people have had success with it.
Bad rating for potent app
If you do not notice the volume knob (it is in a strange spot, but still, there it is), what do you do? Leave a bad review, delete the app.
If there are too many functions to "figure out", and you take a manual as an insult, what do you do? Well, yes, you leave a nasty review and complain about wasting SEVEN dollars.
Look, there are some quirky things in iVoxel that should have been addressed over time. Yes, the sequencer is slightly fiddly and balky, but it is there, with all the voxels at your disposal for tune writing for your choir of crazy, spectrally shaped voices. This is a remarkable vocal-sound-design tool (warts and all) musical with all sorts of uses. After all the years it has been on the app store, there is still nothing like it.
That people have dragged this app down with lazy complaints here rather than sending them to the developer strikes me as odd. Maybe the developer is hard to reach? I have never found one of his apps so confusing I need to make contact.
The app is worth exploring and enjoying, even in late 2024. It deserves to get some refinement and update love from Harry for the new year, but that is his call.
Cannot use
This app might be great if they update it! Just purchased today 5/13/22 after reading information about app in the listing. It’s not clear about the microphone connection. Seems like you will need irig 3.5 jack interface. Sound for vocoder only comes through headphone 3.5 jack? Lightning to usb interface does not work for mic connection to use as live vocoder after pressing mic icon. I don’t want to use the vocoder presets. So I cannot use unless I buy irig interface (over $100) not worth it. I have 2x interface units already. AUM does not recognize as IAA or AU, others claim Audiobus does as IAA (shoulder shrug). Lost $7 plus tax on this app, unless they update to au and allow sound to pass through lightning to usb for interface mic connection. Need to be CLEAR ON THAT IN THEIR LISTING. Can be 5 star with update guys! Lost money on this.😞, fingers crossed for update🤞 or I will delete app and move on.
Outdated and Almost Broken
There’s very little I can say that’s good about this. Want help with this app? Too bad. Look it up.
Want to export something? Feel free to click help on all 9 tabs. Maybe you’ll figure it out, but if not: thanks for the $7.
Now I’m off to buy a better app or a better alternative. What a waste of time.
Wow why is this 3 stars?
This is such a great app!
Jakob Haq just released a video on vocoders and in all honesty given that the app was on sale I decided to get it as he featured it A LOT. I was quite interested as I HATE inter-app audio and although Jakob isn’t as uptight about this as I am, if he was using an inter-app app, he probably had a reason.
This app is a beast! Please fix it’s few issues (import button for example) and make this AUV3. If would be a FANTASTIC AU.
👌🏼 worth it, regardless!
Disappointed
It’s very difficult to get sounds above a whisper. Import button doesn’t work at all. At one time I could import audio by exporting from AudioShare, now that doesn’t work either. IAA doesn’t work in any setup I have tried. Au3 also doesnt work. App is useless.
No AU, IAA or Audiobus 3 support
What else is there to say? Without those features this app is a waste.
Pretty good
Over nice experience
Garbage
Everything sounds like a whisper and importing sounds is a massive pain
Broken
There is definitely something wrong with this app on iOS 10, on an iPhone 7 Plus. The first time you press a key it starts looping a clicking sound which sometimes builds in crescendo. No way to stop it; have to kill the app. Completely unusable in its current state.
