Overview

Pitch as performance.

Vocal Bender manipulates pitch and formant in real time from two controls, which is how most of the vocal effects in hip hop, pop, R&B and electronic music are made. It runs at zero latency, so it works while recording and on stage rather than only in a mix. LFO, sequencer, amplitude and pitch modulators take it beyond static shifts, and a Flatten feature produces the robotic monotone effect.
