Our founders were part of the team that created the Eventide H3000, one of the most iconic pitch-shifters of all time. History in the Re-Making – How SoundToys Created Little AlterBoy It’s a hugely powerful way to find new directions and drive new ideas. Once you’ve crafted your perfect vocal effect signature, you can use MIDI in your DAW to control the pitch for dramatic vocoder or harmony effects. The Drive knob is a classic tube saturation model from Soundtoy’s plugin (Decapitator), it adds warmth and edge to your new vocal creation. To produce notes other than “C”, simply adjust the PITCH control. Tip: In ROBOT mode, when the PITCH knob is set to 0.0 the vocal pitch will be locked one octave above middle C. The specific pitch is controlled using the PITCH knob. Robot locks your vocal track to a single note.This would result in an automatic tuning effect found on popular pop/rap/ R&B tracks. The Quantize tunes your vocal to the nearest chromatic semitone as quickly as possible.The Transpose is the normal operation mode, the pitch control will simply shift the pitch of the incoming vocal without automatic correction.It features three modes, Transpose, Quantize, and Robot: Also, this mode will sometimes produce smoother results, especially for more challenging vocal tracks or pitched instrument tracks. Tip: To get DJ-style pitch warping, leave LINK set to ON. When LINK is OFF, the pitch-shifted vocals will be more natural- sounding, and also allows FORMANT to be adjusted independently of PITCH. The FORMANT knob allows you to control the speeding up or slowing down of a sample. For example, turning the Pitch control all the way counter-clockwise to -12.0 will shift the vocal down by one whole octave, which is what I did with the above demo The PITCH knob allows you to alter the pitch of your vocal track in semitones up to an entire octave above or below the original.

I’ll let you on a little secret - The Little Alterboy was the plugin I used to create Exclusivemusicplus signature tag, here is a before and after:Īfter (Added Little Alterboy plus tweaking the pitch knob): The Pitch and Formant Please experiment away, no hard rules in music production
Note: Little AlterBoy is designed to process only clean monophonic vocal tracks (much like some other vocal tuning plug-ins). You can even control the vocal’s melody using MIDI for creative vocoder-like effects. Little AlterBoy is a Voice manipulation tool by SoundToys, it comes bundled with several features to transform the pitch of a voice, or change the singer’s gender with formant shifting.Īlso, you can lock onto a single pitch for robotic sounds.
