Why use it
What it doesPitch and formant on separate controls - move one without dragging the other.
Reach for it whenBacking vocals from a lead take. Gender and character shifts. Robot and octave effects.
What makes it differentPSOLA shifting, so the voice stays a voice rather than turning into a chipmunk or a drone.
Pitch and formant on separate controls — move one without dragging the other along.
The shifting is PSOLA, which keeps the voice sounding like a voice instead of a phase vocoder's version of one. Formant is genuinely independent, so you can drop a vocal an octave and keep the throat size, or leave the pitch alone and change the size of the singer.
Three modes: transpose by interval, quantize to a scale, or lock to a single note for the robot sound.
CONTROLS · PITCH · FORMANT independent · LINK tie them together when you want the natural version · MODE Transpose · Quantize · Robot · ROBOT NOTE the note Robot mode locks to · POLY for material with more than one voice at a time · DRIVE · MIX · OUTPUT · BYPASS
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2
· Latency is reported to the host again when the mode changes, which moves it between 32 and 120 ms.
· The host no longer shows two identical Bypass parameters.
· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.
· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.
· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.
REGISTRATION
· The plug-in runs unrestricted for a 7-day trial from first launch, counted separately for each plugin.
· Your licence key is on your Gumroad receipt and on the download page.
· Paste it into the plug-in once — it needs internet that one time, then works offline.
· Message me on Gumroad if you need it reset for a new machine.
