THE STUDIO / SIGNAL TO SIGNATURE

EVERY DETAIL.
ONE FLOW.

Meet the full native Windows VST3 chain. Start with the rack, then open Studio FX when it’s time to go deeper.

01 / SMOOTH / HARD SNAP
TUNE / SMOOTH / HARD SNAP

Find your edge.

Move from gentle pitch correction to an unmistakable hard-tuned character. Choose a root and scale, shape the retune response, and transpose the vocal.

  • Smooth and Hard Snap modes
  • Key and scale selection
  • Retune speed, note hold and vibrato controls
  • Pitch transpose from −12 to +12 semitones
02 / OPEN / CLOSE DYNAMICS
GATE / OPEN / CLOSE DYNAMICS

Keep the space clean.

Set separate opening and closing thresholds to control the space between phrases. Shape how the gate opens, closes and attenuates.

  • Ratio, attack, release and maximum range
  • Draggable Open and Close lines
  • Level history and 2D frequency views
  • Four module presets and local undo
03 / BODY / AIR
TONE / BODY / AIR

Build the foundation.

Roll off unwanted lows, add body and open the top end before the rest of the chain. Three clear controls keep the starting tone within reach.

  • High-pass filter
  • Body control
  • Air control
  • Independent module mix
04 / FREQUENCY-FOCUSED CONTROL
DE-ESSER / FREQUENCY-FOCUSED CONTROL

Take the sting out.

Choose the sibilant detection region and bring sharp consonants under control. Listen to the removed material while the blue threshold light follows your adjustments.

  • Low and high detection edges
  • Threshold down to −80 dB
  • Amount and maximum reduction
  • Listen / Removed audition and 2D spectrum
05 / LEVEL / PRESENCE
COMPRESSOR / LEVEL / PRESENCE

Hold the vocal together.

Use threshold and ratio to bring the performance forward and shape its level. Blend the result with the module mix for a lighter touch.

  • Threshold and ratio controls
  • Gain-reduction indication
  • Independent dry/processed mix
  • Included in vocal starting presets
06 / COLOUR / EDGE
DRIVE / COLOUR / EDGE

A little more character.

Add saturation to the vocal and control how much of that character enters the chain. Subtle warmth and stronger edge share one simple module.

  • Drive amount
  • Independent module mix
  • Module on/off
  • Place anywhere in the vocal chain
07 / TWO LINKED VOICES
DOUBLER / TWO LINKED VOICES

Make room for more you.

Two detuned, delayed voices move to opposite sides of your vocal. Keep the direct path, or turn it off for a voice-only effect return.

  • Detune, delay, spread and linked pan display
  • Modulation depth and rate
  • Separate voice/direct gain and voice filtering
  • Six local presets
08 / STEREO ECHO LAB
DELAY / STEREO ECHO LAB

Give every phrase a trail.

Build linked or independent left/right echoes with tempo sync, modulation and saturation. Shape the wet return with its own six-band EQ.

  • Left/right time and feedback
  • Host sync and rhythmic divisions
  • Width, saturation and timing modulation
  • Wet-only EQ, band Solo and 2D/3D spectrum
09 / SPACE LAB
REVERB / SPACE LAB

A space of your own.

Set the distance, tail and stereo field, then sculpt the reverb return. Dynamic Gain on Bell and Shelf bands responds to the wet signal.

  • Pre-delay, decay, width, saturation and damping
  • Six-band wet-only EQ
  • Per-band Dynamic Gain threshold and range
  • Four local presets and animated 3D spectrum
PARAM EQ / PRECISION WITH PERSPECTIVE

Shape what stays.
Hear what changes.

Up to 12 bands with a live grey input spectrum behind the blue processed signal. Change frequency and gain directly on the graph; use the deeper controls to refine the result.

PIXEL ARC v0.4.83 Param EQ with the Brickwall slope control above the selected band and Undo/Redo beside Attach
Actual v0.4.83 Beta interface: filter slope above the selected band, with Undo/Redo beside Attach. The main EQ is independent of the wet-only Delay and Reverb EQs.

React.

Dynamic Gain moves a Bell or Shelf band’s gain in response to its frequency region. Set threshold and range to control its direction and depth.

Follow.

Follow Pitch tracks a harmonic of the detected vocal, including Tune’s applied correction when the EQ sits after Tune in the chain.

Focus.

Audition one band with Solo. High/Low Pass filters offer 12, 24, 48 and 96 dB/oct slopes plus a finite 192 dB/oct Brickwall approximation.

Param EQ

Up to 12 bands. Bell, shelves and pass filters. Dynamic Gain and harmonic pitch following, band Solo and steep slopes up to a finite 192 dB/oct Brickwall setting.

Chorus

Add moving layers and blend them into the vocal from the separate Studio FX page.

Phaser

Shape sweeping phase movement with a dedicated Studio FX component.

Flanger

Create short-delay movement and more pronounced modulation in its own Studio FX component.

Analyze

Analyze live input or drag in WAV/MP3 files for estimated key and tempo. Apply the detected key to Tune. Beats and instrumentals are welcome too.

Your workflow

Twelve vocal starting presets, a reorderable rack, module mixes, host automation menus, and shared undo/redo in EQ, Gate, De-esser, Doubler, Delay and Reverb.
