Controls 

Pitch 

The Pitch Shift control lets you adjust the fundamental frequency, and hence the harmonics, of the 
input signal. It does not change the duration of the input signal, so you can set a harmonic offset in 
real time for doubling effects, without sync loss.  

 

Formant 

The Formant Shift is used to alter the tonal character of a voice without affecting the actual notes. It 

can make a voice sound as if it is coming from a different sized source/person. A negative formant 

shift makes the voice sound deeper and looser, while a moderate positive formant shift tends to make 

for a tighter voice. A greater positive formant shift can make a vocal sound childlike. At extreme 

settings it can, depending on the source, create a squeaky “chipmunk”-like effect. 

Resolution of Pitch and Formant Controls 

Pitch and Formant can be controlled in two resolutions: 

Regular view (Fine Off):   -12 semitones to +12 semitones 
Fine view (Fine On): 

-1200 cents to +1200 cents 

Use the Fine button to toggle between these views. 

 

 

Flatten

 

Flatten forces the entire vocal to the selected pitch. This makes singing monotonic, creating a robot-
like effect. This effect can be used in conjunction with pitch modulation to create musical sequences. 
Range: C2 to B3
