Welcome To PITCHMAP

What is PITCHMAP?

PITCHMAP is the world’s first and only real-time, polyphonic pitch correction and pitch mapping plug-in. Need to correct pitch inaccuracies on

one instrument in a full mix or a polyphonic recording? Want to change the key of an entire song and simultaneously go from minor to major

7/9 on the fly? PITCHMAP allows you to do all of that, and more. To accommodate for modern musical genres and to open up a wide array of

sound-design options, PITCHMAP also provides means of controllably making the process sound more synthetic in a very unique and evocative

way.

Based on our proprietary MAP (Mixed-Signal Audio Processing) technology, PITCHMAP does all that by separating a musical signal into

individual elements/sounds, including their associated harmonics and transients. Sounds to be processed are selected by their fundamental

pitch, and their tuning can then be corrected or their pitches arbitrarily mapped individually, using pitch maps the user creates from within the

GUI, or real-time MIDI data. On the fly and in unprecedented fidelity. The immediate nature of this process opens up new ways to intuitively

interact with the compositional aspect of a recording, and unlocks a huge creative potential.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy using PITCHMAP as much as we did creating it. It is the culmination of 40 combined years of research and

professional audio production expertise, and thus we are very excited to provide you with this unique and exceptional tool.

Now go create great audio!

Yours,
