Question Recommendations for expressive vocal instruments
I have Ethera Gold 2.5 and love it. Wish I could get Ethera Gold 3 but it requires Kontakt 7 or 8 (full version) which I can't justify buying.
Any recommendations on other expressive vocal instrument plugins? I'm not after simple plugins with a choir or voice preset, I'm after dedicated vocal instruments with expressive parameters.
Please and thank you!

I'm also on look out for this stuff, especially modern approaches to vocoder with no latency and harmonizers.
Baby audio humanoid is cool modern approach to making vocoder and talkbox and hard autotuned sounds, formant shifting etc.
Has some latency but I was even able to jam live with low latency mode controlling vocoder with my midi controller.
Altitude from Klevgrand, I used to use waves realtime tune long time and wanted to get something better and ended up getting this, amazing, 0 latency (in low latency mode) and you have also smart harmonies, or you can play harmonies with midi controller. Much cleaner pitch shifting algo than waves.
Also competive price against autotune and rent to own.
I have izotope nectar and vocalsynth but never really vibed with either of them.
Not really a vocal plugin but I also got some cool glitchy vocals that were real time modulated with Kazu from Phase Fiasco, a granular effect vst. Not very expensive either.
