Devious Machines has released Pitch Monster, which they describe as a six-octave, 64-voice pitch creative shifter. This is what they have to say about it...
With six octaves of operation and a resolution of 0.01 semitones, Pitch Monster’s granular pitch processor already offers much more than most pitch shifters on the market. What’s more, this is the first pitch shifter with 64 voices, offering a Unison control and the ability to spread its grains in pitch and in time – you can even shift pitches using a piano keyboard display in Chord mode.
With its Granular, Formant and robo-tastic Vocoder engines, Pitch Monster goes far beyond ordinary pitch shifting. Realtime MIDI control means that it can be played like an instrument, especially thanks to its very low latency.
