Transform Your Vocals in Real Time

Manipulate your vocals in real time for the most popular sounds in hip hop, pop, R&B and electronic genres.

Bend your vocals in real time for the most popular sounds in hip hop, pop, R&B and electronic genres. With zero latency and two simple pitch and formant controls, Vocal Bender is the fastest, easiest, highest-quality way to record and produce hit-sounding vocal effects instantly. Travis Scott-style deep-voiced adlibs. Billie Eilish-style vocal doubles. Frank Ocean’s pitch-shifted lead vocals. The high-pitched vocal topline you hear in every EDM drop. Vocal Bender will twist your vocals in real time, letting you hear how your pitch/formant-shifted vocals sound as you perform.

Dramatically Alter Your Voice

With just two main controls, you can change more than vocal pitch—you can transform your vocal’s character, age, even gender. Lower the Formant for a bigger, deeper voice with male characteristics, or raise it for a higher, tighter voice with female or even child-like qualities.

Perform Shifted Vocals in Real Time

Vocal Bender works in real time, so you can keep the creativity going and get your ideas down quickly. Track through the plugin at zero latency, so you can hear the effect on your voice in real time. You can also use Vocal Bender live on stage: pull it up on your live DAW session and manipulate the vocal during the live performance.

Modulate the Vocal for Even More Creativity

Open up Vocal Bender’s trunk to access the plugin’s deeply musical modulation features. With a few clicks you’ll add vibrato, pitch drops, sequenced pitching, and more. With four simultaneous modulation sources—step sequencer, LFO, amplitude envelope, and pitch envelope—the creative possibilities are endless

Flatten the Vocal for Robotic Effects

Hit the Flatten button to flatten the vocal to any selected single pitch—and create instant robot-like vocal effects. Combine the flattened vocal with Vocal Bender’s deep modulation and sequencing features, to produce vocal sequences that use the original voice as a creative starting point—easy.

Sound Like Two Vocalists—Or Go Beyond Vocals

On the subtle side, create softly altered vocal doubles that subtly change the natural voice—as if a different vocalist is doing the doubling for you. Use the Mix control to easily blend the ‘two vocalists’ together. Or, go beyond vocals: pitch guitar parts down to make them sound like bass guitar, or go wild with creative pitch shifting effects on any instrument.
