Dubler 2: Turn your voice into MIDI, Instantly.
In a follow-up to their award-winning Dubler Studio Kit, today Vochlea Music launch Dubler 2 an advanced software-only voice-to-MIDI desktop application that allows you to turn your musical ideas into reality, using the voice.
LONDON— Amateur or pro, the most instinctive way for a musician to communicate an idea for a melody, bassline or beat is by using their voice— our built-in tool for musical expression.
Whilst musical ideas might be easy to sing, accurately capturing those ideas using traditional instruments or MIDI controllers can be challenging— even for the most accomplished musician.
“Voice-to-midi is like a dream come true, imagine how many times you’ve had a melody or a vibe and you’ve not been able to translate it exactly how you want it. Now you can.” — NOVELIST
Introducing Dubler 2, a standalone, software-only desktop voice-to MIDI application from Vochlea Music that can turn your musical ideas into a reality, by simply vocalising them.
Using all the timbral qualities of the voice, Dubler 2 allows musicians to trigger samples, control synths, play chords, manipulate filters and effects, lock to a key, track pitch, pitch-bend and control envelopes, velocity and MIDI mapping values simultaneously, based on the individual way they make their unique sounds.
“With Dubler 2, I can make chord progressions that unless I had rubber fingers, I just couldn’t play.” — GAIKA
Now with Dubler 2, musicians can intuitively hum a synth pattern, beatbox to trigger a virtual drum kit, or manipulate effects and filters with a “eee”, “ooo” or “aaa” sound. All completely live.
“I’m really in love with the vowel CC mapping feature on Dubler 2. I have mine set-up so that when I sing ‘aaa’ you get some decay control and then the others like ‘eee’ it does stutter. This is just the perfect thing for singers and beatboxers. Really anyone that wants to express themselves with their voice.”

Dubler 2 works with all DAWs, and training your voice to the software takes under 30 seconds, allowing musicians to start creating virtually immediately, providing record-speed workflows, whilst simultaneously providing unparalleled expression and control.
Users can access a free 7-day trial at vochlea.com and be able to integrate it quickly into their workflow by calibrating it with their preferred dynamic microphone, allowing them to experience the power of their voice in their production workflow right away.
“What Dubler 2 has opened up for me, which is really, really useful, is being able to use my own microphone. Because as a drummer, if I’m singing whilst I’m playing drums, most microphones pick up all of the drum sounds. Every drum has its own pitch, has its own tone, and it’s louder than my voice. But this enabled me to use vocal mics that are designed specifically with close pick up patterns and enabled me to sing very close to the microphone and get a pure sound from Dubler 2.” — CHIMNYO
