You’ve done it AGAIN! I love the vocal pitch editing, beefing up and harmonizing possibilities, and ease of quick drum hit tuning. I can see myself creating synced vibratos and bends on pads and leads galore with PitchShaper. And that’s just scratching the surface.

What is PitchShaper?

PitchShaper is the drawable pitchshifter that puts your music in motion with four awesome Cableguys algorithms: Complex, Vocals, Drums and Vintage.

Transpose vocals smoothly – or warp them with beyond-human formant shifts. Stamp stepped patterns or flowing bends onto instruments. Go extreme with glitched‑out drums, instant risers and mind‑altering multiband sequences.

Running inside Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 effects plugin, use PitchShaper on its own or with other Shapers – stack them up for elaborate, multilayered effects.

Design unique melodies

Bring new melodic life to your samples, synths and instruments with Cableguys' easy drawable pitch curves. Draw in octave jumps, arps, bends and pitch drops – or spark instant ideas with 1‑click patterns.

Unlock future vocals

Enhance vocals with smooth shifts, tight harmonies and extreme robotic effects. And unlock full formant control to make voices deeper, thinner, younger, older – even alter their perceived gender.

Paint instant FX

Skyrocket your sound design! It's as simple as painting in epic risers, bizarre formant sweeps and time‑locked tape‑stops. Triple down with multiband to warp pitch in 3 directions at once.

Gain next-level drum control

With super-precise Cableguys shifting, PitchShaper keeps every hit crisp and tight while you twist, bend, and reshape your beats. Design futuristic formant rhythms. Make self‑varying hats. Surgically tweak hits with audio‑triggered LFOs. And more.

Features

Algorithms in detail

Complex mode is built to handle anything, from single instruments to complex polyphonic mixes. Expect tight, punchy, time‑aligned transients free from the glitched attacks that can plague other pitchshifter plugins.

Vocals smoothly shifts single voice and monophonic instruments, with full LFO Formant control.

Drums preserves transient punch and fundamental tones. It's designed for beats but also shines on percussive monophonic instruments. Add in full Formant control for next‑level sonic exploration.

Vintage brings the lo‑fi granular grit. Get instant retro jungle breakbeats, robotic vocals and sparkling ear candy.

Easy drawable pitch LFOs

It's simple to animate Pitch offset and Formant shifting over time with Cableguys' famous LFO drawing tools.

Draw curves, steps and ramps in seconds to stamp melodies, slides and formant patterns onto anything. It’s easy, fast and fun.

Sync the LFOs to your song, trigger them with MIDI, or even with audio transients.

Deep formant control

Vocals and Drums modes feature a Formant control with its own drawable LFO, envelope follower, and a special Density parameter for smoother results.

Radically transform the character, age or size of any voice, from natural to robotic. And discover a new tool for shaping percussion, from tasteful shifts to broken textures.

It works on other monophonic instruments too – give it a try for a fresh take on timbral shaping.

Synth-like glide

Want your pitch patterns to flow smoothly from note to note? Just increase the Smooth control – now your stepped patterns are transformed into synth‑like swoops and glides.

Multiband magic

Split the shifting across up to three frequency bands, for precise targeting or wild creativity.

Repitch only the bass in a full musical loop. Tune low‑end drum punch independently of treble snap. Shift up the tops to blend in hi‑fi texture.

Ready to take it all the way? Go all‑out and combine all three bands for custom harmonies and advanced sound design.

Envelope followers

Make pitch and formant react in real time with the Envelope Follower that tracks your sound's dynamics.

Modify the punch of drum hits. Make self‑varying hi‑hats. Add organic tape‑like warbling and instability to sustained sounds. Twist vocal formants with every word!
