I've been thinking about playing around with that plugin for some time, I just haven't got around to it yet. My understanding is that there is no voice to music feature -- it's more about vocoder and harmonizer effects. It sounds like a genuinely innovative and cool product, though, so I have nothing bad to say about it.
The difference between the two products is that the emphasis of "The Mouth" is on vocal performance, whereas the emphasis in Beatmatic is on composition. The compositional aspect probably doesn't come across that clearly in the videos because, well, all we have implemented is beat detection. But suppose the next step in the app was to voice a bassline, or a melody instrument, or have some cool pre-built synth loops to add to your beat, then we're talking about a music app that can, in theory, offer the ability to write a song to anyone who can sing "Happy Birthday" roughly on key and in time. As a musician who has experienced the joy of writing songs a few times (my band: babylonbaby.de), I'm excited about the idea of sharing that awesome experience with a much larger slice of the consumer market.
