Watching this reminded me that my friend had a little box that could tweak your voice in real time to make it sound like a Chipmunk. Or the opposite like a monster. It was a little box I cant remember what it was tho. Anybody know what can process vox like that?

What not record yourself at half the tempo speed of the project. Then playback at tempo speed?

first, procure one chipmunk...

Hi

Any non-formant correcting pitch shifter would do the trick.

On the hardware side:

Software side you could try PVTRANSP from
http://www.bath.ac.uk/~masrwd/pvplugs.html

Or bidule's built in Spectral Pitch Scaler
(use FFT -> PitchScaler -> iFFT)

There are many others im sure, just the ones OTOH
Cheers

Yes! Thats exactly what I'm talkin about. Thanks .

Really? My Delta66/Omni didnt.

Thats it. I'm emailing M-Audio about this. "Please include Chipmunk effect on next Delta update!".
Good for nothing Omni studio didnt even come with chipmunk effect .

Steinberg's Voice Machine does a great job...If you can find it.

KT Granulator

There's a link in the effects roundup.

yeah, the KT Granulator has even a preset included called 'chipmunk'.
also using doppelmangler from whitenoiseaudio could lead to fantastic chipmunk-results.
using tobybear's madshifta and tunin' the vocal up to 24 tones on the scale will bring you a very nice chipmunk-fx with really slowest cpu-need, nothing can go wrong.
playing around with the brandnew PUDDING from tweakbench should also bring you much fun creating chipmunk-like sounds: just choose the right pitch and grain-buffer-size and play around with the feedback. or just press the random-knob

www.delaydots.com any pitchshifter

Whoa thanks for all the suggestions. I'm actually diggin these plug-ins that David mentioned.

Very cool.

You get a more organic-sounding result by recording whatever you want to say in your natural rhythm and intonation, then slowing it down by half (or more!) and doing another recording matching the rhythm and intonation of the slowed down first recording. Then you speed up the second recording by the inverse of however much you slowed down the first recording down by. (e.g. if you halved the speed of the first reference recording, double the speed of the chipmunkable recording; if you cut the speed of the reference down to a third, then multiply the chimpunkable recording by three; it's the 1/x button on your calculator..)

You'll feel like a daft git speaking or even singing at low speed but the results really do sound that much less artificial than using processing.

Hi! Try out MadShifta by Bram / Smartelectronics . It does a very nice job at pitching the voice and is fairly easy to use. Perfect for chipmunklike voice.

I just sing into a mic.





What? WHAT?

I love my Roland 880EX because it has Roland's powerful formant-shifting effect in it. Not only can it do Chimpunks, it does a mean Barry White, too.

For some reason this tune of mine has been popular with web-surfers from Japan, but I can't figure out why (other than it's a really good example of effective formant-shifting):
