PITCHMAP: Real-Time Mixed-Signal Pitch Processor by Zynaptiq Free Download

PITCHMAP lets you assign source pitches to target pitches by playing notes on a MIDI keyboard or by dragging sliders in its pitch map editor. Macro controls can shift material from one key or scale to another in a few clicks.

Snapshot functionality provides eight slots for comparing settings, applying different settings to different parts of a recording, and creating parameter automation. Zynaptiq says the plugin is designed for near-instant results while still exposing fine detail.

Zynaptiq recommends a playback buffer of at least 512 samples, or ideally 1024, for best performance.

Zynaptiq lists uses including correcting tuning in mixed recordings, testing harmonies for compositions, reshaping pitch in sampled material, adapting songs to a key for DJ sets, and building mashups and remixes faster.

Sound designers can use the plugin with live MIDI input to create synthesizer-like sounds from an existing signal.

Zynaptiq also notes that PITCHMAP is not a replacement for other pitch tools. For monophonic vocals it points to Antares Auto Tune, and for single polyphonic instruments to Celemony Melodyne. For some polyphonic audio, the developer says offline processing may give better results.
