Pitch-Shifting, zynaptified.

PITCHSHIFT is the ultimate pitch-shifting plug-in for music production, sound design and post production. It combines multiple high-quality pitch algorithms, ranging from the classic delay-line design to advanced resynthesis, time-stretching, and state-of-the-art hybrid processing. The plug-in is available in two tiers: the three-algorithm PITCHSHIFT for mono and stereo duties, and the six-algorithm PITCHSHIFT PRO, which adds more sound design options and supports up to 16 channels of phase-synchronous multi-channel processing for immersive workflows.

Whether you're adding a fifth or octave to a guitar or vocal, adjusting the pitch of a loop to fit your project, making monster voices and alien machinery, or adjusting the pitch of a film mix for frame rate conversion, PITCHSHIFT delivers maximum quality with minimum effort!

More. Of Everything.

PITCHSHIFT isn't just a great pitch-shifter, it is a comprehensive pitch-shifting solution. As every pitch-shifter topology has its own sonic properties and character, and a range of sounds it works for best, we decided to include (pretty much) all of them. With its three different pitch algorithms, PITCHSHIFT gives you a huge range of pitch styles, and PITCHSHIFT PRO adds three more, for ultimate flexibility.

And, of course, we wouldn't be zynaptiq if we hadn't added a little something* for your complete and utter sound sculpting enjoyment. PITCHSHIFT features pristine formant correction and shifting, LP/HP filtering of the wet signal, and per-channel pitch jitter and phase dispersion, and PRO adds resynthesis-based pitch locking, LPC-inspired resonator-excitator pitch processing, retro sampler style cyclic shifting...and a ton more.

*: Actually, a whole slew of somethings would be more accurate!

Core Features

Both tiers of PITCHSHIFT share the following features:

HYBRID, RESYNTHESIS, and STRETCH pitch algorithms.
+- 12 semitones of pitch shift in 1 cent increments.
+- 12 semitones of formant shift in 1 cent increments.
Formant shift can be linked to pitch shift for formant correction.
Optimizations for SFX, DRUMS, MIXED and SMOOTH signals for the HYBRID algorithm.
Control over overlap factor, window type, and formant strength of the HYBRID algorithm.
Control over transient processing strength for each of the SFX, DRUMS, MIXED and SMOOTH optimizations.
Dry/wet mix control with LP/HP filtering for the wet signal path.
All controls can be controlled via MIDI, including the previous/next preset and load/save commands.
Scalable vector GUI with zoom.
Optional double precision processing for the HYBRID algorithm.
Unique DISPERSION parameter for the HYBRID algorithm, which modulates the phase per frequency per channel for effects ranging from a subtle increase in dimensionality to diffused and modulated timbres.
JITTER parameter for the RESYNTHESIS algorithm, which adds random pitch modulation per channel.

PRO Features

PITCHSHIFT PRO brings the following additional features to the table:

Additional CONFORM, GRANULAR, and LPC pitch algorithms.
RESYNTH and LPC modes for the CONFORM algorithm.
SMOOTH, TIGHT and CYCLIC modes for the GRANULAR algorithm.
Extended +- 24 semitones formant shift range for the CONFORM and LPC algorithms.
Phase-synchronous multi-channel support for up to 16 channels.
Dedicated Channel Setup page with bypass, mute and solo per channel.

Copy Protection

This software uses the latest PACE copy protection, which allows you to place your activation on your machine or on an iLok 2* (or newer; not included). You will need a free iLok.com account to use our software, even for the the demos - but you do not necessarily need the iLok 2 dongle, if your machine has internet access (activation of a system without internet connectivity requires an iLok 2 device). All required software is installed along with our plugins, but we generally recommend downloading the latest versions directly from iLok.com.

_{*Please note: the older, first generation (blue) iLok is not supported!}
