Waves Ultra Pitch

Waves Ultra Pitch | The Ultimate Tool for 6-Voice Harmony and Pitch Shifting

Waves Ultra Pitch is an incredibly powerful pitch-shifting effect, designed for music producers, audio engineers, and content creators who need precise pitch correction, rich harmonies, and creative sound design. Whether you want to add subtle stereo chorus and doubling effects to vocals or create complex, harmonious parallel harmonies, Ultra Pitch delivers unparalleled processing power and sound quality. It's not just a simple pitch shifter; it's a sound-shaping tool that inspires limitless creativity.

At the core of this powerful harmony effect is its advanced six-voice processing engine, allowing you to independently adjust the pitch, formant, panning, and delay for each voice. This means you can generate rich, wide, and layered stereo effects from a single mono source. Beyond singing, Ultra Pitch also demonstrates amazing versatility in vocal processing, capable of transforming spoken word into completely different character voices, making it an indispensable voice-changing effect for producing audiobooks, podcasts, or game voice-overs. From subtle slap effects to dramatic robotic voices, Waves Ultra Pitch is your key to unlocking the creative potential of vocals.

Core Advantages & Applications

Rich Stereo Effects
With Ultra Pitch, you can easily add width and thickness to thin vocal or instrument tracks. From classic stereo chorus and subtle doubling to rhythmic Slap and Spread effects, just a few simple parameter adjustments can instantly enhance a track's presence and spatial feel in the mix.

Powerful 6-Voice Harmonies
This is the core feature of Ultra Pitch. You can automatically generate up to six harmony voices from a single melody line. Each voice can be independently set for pitch, volume, and panning, making it easy to create anything from simple thirds to complex jazz chords, significantly saving arrangement and recording time.

Precise Formant Control
When performing significant pitch shifts, traditional pitch shifters often produce an unnatural "chipmunk" effect. Ultra Pitch features advanced formant correction technology that can preserve the natural character of the sound while changing its pitch, or conversely, use it to change the "character" of the voice, such as making an adult male voice sound younger or a female voice deeper, without affecting its pitch.

Wide Range of Applications
Ultra Pitch is not limited to vocals. It includes dedicated detection modes optimized for different vocal characteristics as well as for Bass, making it perfectly applicable to a variety of monophonic instruments. Furthermore, its powerful voice-changing capabilities make it a valuable tool for sound designers and content creators, useful for creating robotic voices, alien speech, or voicing multiple characters in audiobooks and podcasts.
