PITCHMAP

PITCHMAP is the world's first and only plug-in that allows processing the pitch of individual sounds within mixed signals in real-time. It lets you change the melodies and harmonies of any recording by simply playing your own on a MIDI keyboard or creating a pitch map using our stream-lined GUI, and optionally corrects any tuning issues at the same time. As if that weren't enough, PITCHMAP provides functions to suppress individual sounds within a mix, and can apply advanced synthesizer-like sound transformations to your audio. In short, it is an inspiring musical instrument, a precision corrective tool and the only processor that literally lets you shape music with your hands.

UNFILTER CPU Load Optimization

UNFILTER uses some very complex mathematics, and thus uses a considerable amount of CPU processing time. Here are a couple of suggestions how you can get the most out of your CPU:

  • Try increasing buffer sizes in your host software to their largest values, then gradually bring them back down until you find a suitable balance between latency and CPU load. In Logic Pro, this also includes the "Process Buffer range" parameter. We recommend using an I/O buffer size of at least 1024 samples.
  • Try closing the GUI of any plug-in that you don't currently need to have visual feedback on, including UNFILTER after adjusting settings.
  • Quit any open applications that are not needed.
  • In Logic Pro, all processes that are fed by a live source are processed on one CPU core. Bounce/record any live inputs feeding into UNFILTER to allow Logic to assign cores as needed. "Live" inputs include Instrument tracks that are record enabled.
  • In Pro Tools, using a multi-mono instance is preferable to using a stereo instance in terms of CPU consumption, as this allows Pro Tools to render the channels on separate cores.
  • In Pro Tools 10, render to a new file by pasting the setting used in a real-time instance into the AudioSuite version of UNFILTER for processing. The RTAS plug-in does not support AudioSuite.
  • In general, when using multi-channel versions of the plug-in, please bypass any channels that you don't really need to process (like the LFE channel, for example).

I'm getting a DAE error when I try to use the preview function in AudioSuite...why?

To use the preview functionality of the AudioSuite version, you need to use Pro Tools 10.3.4 or newer, earlier versions will not work. Please update your Pro Tools install accordingly.
