Devious Machines Pitch Monster is a creative pitch-shifting and vocal-processing plugin designed for extreme sound design. It distinguishes itself from standard pitch shifters by offering up to 64 voices of polyphony and a massive six-octave range, enabling everything from subtle harmonization to complete vocal transformation. Core Processing Engines
Pitch Monster features three distinct engines to manipulate audio:
Granular Engine: Provides high-resolution pitch shifting (0.01 semitone resolution) and allows for "time spread" and "jitter" to create thick, organic textures.
Formant Engine: Shifts the vocal character without affecting the pitch, allowing users to alter the perceived gender or even "species" of a voice. Devious Machines Pitch Monster v1.3.6 -WiN-
