I'm looking for a GOOD...WARM...Pitch Shifter/Dual Guitar Harmonizer Plug-in.

:D

Please to all plugin developers make this for us:) :oops:

Oh yes, an "intelligent" one recognizing the pitch and following a desired scale. :oops:

Another cool feature would be to have a "free mode" to control the pitch shifting using a MIDI CC. :oops: :oops:

All my love to the first one who achieves this...
:love: :hihi:

Dimitar the best I found so far is called PVTRANSP and it's free.
No GUI or any other control other then pitch up and down but it sounds wonderful and you can set it up to do all the things you want to do in the host.
You can get it here:

Here is the direct download:

(It's a bundle of 3 plugs)

Here is a sample, it's my electric guitar using PVTRANSP to play bass.
I used deep compression (-40dB) with very long release times (10 sec) to get these long sustain notes.

We real yneed a GOOD harmonizer!

Rephrase is not a live pitch shifter, but it is a life saver for fixing those out of tune bends and slides.

Not sure exactly what you mean by good. Also not sure what Noox means about having it follow a scale. You'd want it to vary by semi-tone as you play, rather than simply being a pitched version at one set interval?

Have you tried Audio Damage's Discord? It's the best delay-based harmonizer I've tried. The guitar harmonizers were all delay-based, and this one's modelled on an old Eventide thing. And the latest iteration has an LFO for wobbling the pitched voice. You can also change pitch through MIDI notes.

Warm is not how I'd describe it, as it's modelled on 80s digital gear, so it is meant to sound like 80s digital gear. No demo, but they have a liberal refund policy.

Jackle&Hyde's Audiopitch is a fantastic FFT-based pitch scaler. Definitely worth trying, though it might prove complicated as a real-time harmonizer. Since it is FFT based, it will add a delay. See it here.

Anarchy Sound Software have some harmonizer things in their effects bundle, too, if you've never tried them. I liked what I heard, but I had trouble with them on my old machine, so not sure exactly how good/bad they are.

I like all the pitchshifters I use (I use many), but most of them are very dirty. Good for me, but probably not what you had in mind.

you know choir boy uses midi for harmonizing vox, think that would be cool for guitar two...in fact, did you try some vox processors like chior boy or clone ensemble...I have never tried them for that...but you never know :shrug:

'Choir Boy' should work fine for this. Don't let the name convince you that it is only for vocals - because it certainly wasn't intended to be.

Here is my work with "pvplugs" on the SOLO guitar part:)

But I need harmonizer, not pich bender:)
I want something like where Vai use on his albums ;)

Enjoy to the my tune :)

btw I will confirm that this is well worth the nominal fee space boy charges for it...;)

Steve Vai used an Eventide Harmonizer. See.

Discord does what you are looking for. It's only $39. And if you don't like the results, just send an email to the devs, and they'll sort you out.

In order to explain, here is an extract from the docs of a famous piece of hardware :

This algorithm has two pitch shifters which understand the rules of musical harmony, so you can set a scale and the (famous piece of hardware) will adjust the semitones as necessary to fit in with a major or minor key, or indeed a harmonic pattern you have developed yourself. Just specify a key signature, scale or mode and Diatonic Pitch Shift automatically turns any note into a diatonically correct triad.
