Abstract
A system for the synthesis of backing vocals by pitch shifting of a lead vocal signal is presented. The harmonization of the backing vocals is based on the chords, which are retrieved from an accompanying instrument. The system operates completely autonomous without the need to provide the key of the performed song. This simplifies the handling of the harmonization effect. The system is designed to have real-time capability to be used as a live sound effect.
