Most Inspiring Use Cases

Since 1991, Milli has provided an uplifting and educational singing experience for thousands of holiday festival attendees.

Expansion Plans

I can add appropriate vocal tracks to any well-produced MIDI file for market to the general public, but the harmonizers are no longer manufactured.
I hope that TC Electronics could provide a single program version of the Voiceworks such as was the Tune MIDI HHarmony Box, circa 1990.

Commercialization

There have been many attempts to provide harmonizing karaoke to the public rather than limit to musicians.
Froglips, Concert Soft, Tune 1000, Tiger Karaoke, Various home keyboards, Soulo Karaoke.
Programming and syncing is arduous so song libraries have been limited.
I have combined several utilities and written macros to hasten the process.
I purchased the entire Tune 1000 library and reworked for my own use.
I have purchased and experimented with every harmonizer over the years.
TC Electronics Voiceworks (Not Plus) is the best harmonizer but production ceased in 2012.
