FREE: Pitchproof – Pitch Shifter VST by Aegean Music

Aegean Music releases Pitchproof free pitch shifter and harmonizer effect VST plug-in for Windows.

Pitchproof is an audio plug-in that can shift the pitch of the input. The effect is meant to combine old styles of pitch shifting with the quality you expect from modern plug-ins. The result is this pitch “pedal” simulation that has most of what is great about guitar harmonizer pedals, and still preserves the signal’s integrity.

On the bottom there are some other options. You can choose mono, for lower CPU usage, or stereo for stereo inputs. Transient Fix can be on or off, on is recommended but if you have strange glitches you may try turning it off. If you have a strong attack to your input it will clearly preserve that better, but if you have a fade in to notes, like a pad it won’t have a noticeable effect.
It’s got a guitar tuner! That’s right, since it detects pitch anyway we decided to display it as a tuner and it can be made stationary in the bottom right if it is an eyesore.

Pitchproof Features:

• Blend control for selecting fully shifted output, or the dry and wet signals mixed (a harmony).
• Pitch select -12 to +12, and 6 harmonies (intelligent pitch shift effects).
• Detune for a more natural effect.
• Mono option (lower CPU usage), or stereo for stereo inputs.
• Transient Fix.
• Guitar tuner.

Pitchproof is a free plug-in from Aegean Music, and comes as a full version.
