P.S. Are you sure you're not kraworst, using this question as a very subtle lead to plug your VST?

What?
Can you please explain what that means?

Ahh, I understand...

No. I am not kraworst.
And I compiled that plugin extra new quickly and uploaded it. Because it was designed last year for personal needs and resided anywhere on my disk.

There is currently not even a website, where my stuff is accessible.

If I was such kind of guy (you claim), so I actually would write at least a link into my signature, rather than posting myself faked newcommer posts to "feature my products" ...

Bäääää.

Althought, my plugin is not well situated for monophonic material, which needs formant correction. For such things I have other tools to offer.

Excellent little plug. Sounds great on percussive material at 1024 samples. It's very responsive to fiddling too, no lag or anything. This'll be great for special effects on drums.

Indeed, I initially developed it just for that reason !!!

To realtime manipulate such a crazy drum track...

(Later I did refine that algorithm to also be able to repitch (transpose) other kind (even entire recorded tracks) that way. 2048 samples works best with that kind.)

THANK YOU!
WHICH HOST DID YOU USE?

Haha, wicked! I was actually going to apologise for not trying it on polyphonic stuff (as I got the impression it was supposed to be used that way), but I tried it on a drum track first and really loved how responsive it was to excessive pitch fiddling. I totally forgot about the whole polyphonic audio thing because I was too busy having fun.

I use Audiomulch by the way.

BTW: Drum and percussion tracks actually are "heavy" kind of polyphonic material.

Yeah, certainly true. In terms of spectral content, they're probably the most 'polyphonic' sounds around.

I want to pitchshift a whole track ( wav).
whch plugin is best for that without the least annoying effects you get with that?so what is the best plug in to pitch shift ( i dont want to do it in Cubase SX,because that didnt satisfy me ..)

You might want to test our DirectX plug-in suite for time scale and pitch modifications, called Studio Time (http://www.acondigital.com/StudioTime.htm). The pitch shifter preserves the formant locations (optional).

preserves the formant locations...

So then it's good for human voice pitch modification too?
I'm just interested.

How many of you are interested in a free PSOLA plugin?

That's a pitch shifter for monophonic payed real instruments like saxophones, violins and so on including human voices.

With freeley adjustable formants (gender). As a realtime plugin (has some lower quality than a high end offline app would actually have).

Cubase has for instance currently NO such PSOLA algorithm inbuilt. (The only one missing pitch modification algo missed there, I think.)

Thank you so much for this gem!

I have been searching for a long time for a plugin that can tune synthetic vocals to a melody on the fly. Audiotune seems to do the trick (using notes as controllers).

I would also be very interested in the tools you have to offer for processing monophonic material. I am willing to pay for them...

Thanks again!

Yes, the human voice as well as most musical instruments will sound better with the formant preservation turned on (called "Timbre Preservation" in the GUI).

I guess you missed out on 'Choir Boy' then? 'Choir Boy' has been available, including polyphonic midi control of up to 3 voices (i.e. you can play chords from a single voice), for a few months now.

It isn't free though - if that was an additional requirement. But it isn't expensive either.

I wouldn't recommend "AudioPitch" for human voices, because the "Mickey Mouse- Darth Wedder" effect that it finally produces.

Therefore I asked the interest to a PSOLA like pitch shifter. That would enable to preserve the human voice formants completely and also enable to change the gender drastically...

(Althought, I guess, Antares AutoPitch has also no formant correction - therefore the strange synthetic sound on heavy tweaking.)

The big problem with PSOLA is, you always *have to use* completely DRY recorded voice tracks. As soon you have an reverb or other effects rendered in, it dosn't work anymore (satisfactory)...

This lies in nature of that algorithm (Pitch Synchronuous Overlapp and Add). Thus, it works completely different to the "AudioPitch". AudioPitch is a frequency domain effect based on FFT/iFFT. PSOLA is a complex time domain effect.
