Pitch SHIFTER-910 captures the gritty tone and musical unpredictability that defined early digital pitch and delay processing. With precise pitch/formant shaping, playable MIDI harmonies and vocal-specific sound design tools - discover a powerful voice-shaper for modern music workflows.
Bend your voice: Modeled after the first and most iconic digital pitch shifter, Pitch SHIFTER-910 merges classic pitch-and-delay transformation with modern DSP.
Contort any vocal medium with ease — whether adding harmonies that move with your performance or widening a chorus into a larger-than-life ensemble.
Legendary pitch processor: Capture the artefacts and imperfections that made early digital pitch shifters iconic - with ±12 st pitch transformation and a meticulously recreated signal path.

Modern flexibility: Harness an expanded pitched delay and advanced tooling that includes dual/unison Voice, Vibrato, and MIDI performance for harmonies and motion that go far beyond the original.
Playable MIDI control: Play the effect like an instrument with MIDI In - from doubling a melody line to adding chords - plus envelope shaping, glide, and performance modulation for expressive control.
Elevated sound: From instant harmonies to pitched-delay FX, Pitch SHIFTER-910 brings unmistakable character to any source.
The advanced panel: Take Pitch SHIFTER-910 beyond classic processing with performance-ready controls — play with MIDI, recreate dual-unit widening and add expressive movement with vibrato.
MIDI In: Turn the shifter into an instrument: control pitch with MIDI notes (mono or Poly 4), shape dynamics with Attack/Release, add Glide for smooth transitions, and bring expression via velocity, pitch bend, and mod wheel routing.
Voice Mode: Instant width and ensemble: choose Dual Mono to recreate the classic two-unit, hard-panned studio technique, or Unison for dense, detuned layering — with Detune and Spread for fast stereo impact.
Vibrato: Add organic motion with Amount and Speed, then dial in realism with Humanizer. In MIDI mode, Fade In introduces vibrato gradually for more natural phrasing and expressive builds.
Legendary pitch processing: Pitch SHIFTER-910 sits in a lineage of studio tools that changed how records could sound, introducing new signal processing that gave it its signature sound and artefacts.
Early digital pitch shifters combined real-time transposition with delay and regenerative feedback. From subtle widening to unstable pitch-delay climbs and detuned dual-unit trickery, they helped define the sound of records from the likes of David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, Patti Smith, U2 and more.
Instant results: A handful of presets that spotlight Pitch SHIFTER-910’s signature palette, from classic interval shifts to gritty detune. Load one up, tweak a few key controls, and find that sweet spot.
Pitch control, reimagined: Pitch SHIFTER-910 is built for today’s production needs. Add motion, width, and iconic early-digital character to vocals, guitars, synths, and more - from subtle harmonisation to full-on reality-bending FX.
Features:
- Digital harmonics alterator
- Pitch + Formant Shifter: Pitch shift up to ±12 semitones. Optional Formant + Pitch/Formant Link
- Advanced Features that go beyond the original hardware: MIDI In: play pitch with MIDI (mono or Poly 4), with Attack/Release, Glide, velocity, pitch bend, and mod wheel control. Voice Mode: Recreate the classic dual-unit widening (Dual Mono) or stack dense, detuned layers with Unison + Stereo Spread. Vibrato: Add expressive motion with Amount/Speed, natural variation with Humanizer, and MIDI Fade In for playable modulation.
