Pitch Shift Plug-ins

Pitch Correct

Pitch Correct automatically detects, adjusts and fixes slight pitch and intonation

inconsistencies in monophonic vocal and instrumental performances in realtime. The

advanced algorithms of this plug-in preserve the formants of the original sound thus

allowing for natural sounding pitch correction without the typical Mickey Mouse effect.

Furthermore, you can use Pitch Correct creatively. You can create backing vocals, for

example, by modifying the lead vocals or vocoder sounds by using extreme values.

You can use an external MIDI controller, a MIDI track or the virtual keyboard to play a

note or a scale of target pitches that determine the current scale notes to which the

audio is shifted. This allows you to change your audio in a very quick and easy way,

which is extremely useful for live performances. In the keyboard display, the original

audio is displayed in blue while the changes are displayed in orange.

Parameter Description

Correction – Speed Determines the smoothness of the pitch change. Higher values

cause the pitch shift to occur immediately. 100 is a very drastic

setting that is designed mainly for special effects (for example, the

famous Cher effect).

Correction –

Tolerance

Determines the sensitivity of analysis. A low Tolerance value lets

Pitch Correct find pitch changes quickly. When the Tolerance value

is high, pitch variations in the audio (for example, vibrato) are not

immediately interpreted as note changes.

Correction –

Transpose

(-12 to 12)

With this parameter you can adjust (or retune) the pitch of the

incoming audio in semitone steps. You can set positive and negative

values from -12 to 12. A value of zero means that the signal is not

transposed.
