PitchFunk 1.02

PitchFunk is essentially a feedback system which includes a filter, a pitch shifter, a delay line, a gain stage, all of which can be modulated and routed in fun ways.

You can keep things simple, and use it to pitch-shift, detune, harmo- nize, delay,  chorus, flange, phase, simulate sidechaining, do pan-effects, filter sweep... or you  can bring a few modules in, and see what happens.

The pitch-shifting is something of a homage to the classic units. Of course, we  have much more processing power to play with these days, so we can go a little further; there are a few algorithms in there, and they can be tuned. You should  dabble and see what suits your source best.

The real danger comes from the feedback - feeding things into themselves, via  other things, all of which are probably going to be moving around. Chaos typically ensues, and you hear some things you’ve not heard before, and you instinctively press record, and play the results to anyone you can find who’ll listen, because it’s nuts.

The modulation options include three drawable LFOs (which you can use as step sequencers if the mood takes you), and an envelope follower that can be following the internal or an external signal. And MIDI control for pitch shift, because that means you can play it like a synth.

Here are some key features of "PitchFunk":

Overview:
· Pitch Shifter feeds delay and filter with feedback to create unheard-of madness.
· Lots of modulation, to keep everything moving while it's feeding back.
· Makes mad, mad noises, previously unheard of, potentially frightening to children, pets and the infirm.
· A barrel full of insane presets
· Windows VST,VST3 as 32+64bit, 32bit RTAS
· Mac VST, VST3 and AU as 32+64bit, 32bit RTAS

Sound:
· 10 pitch-shifting algorithms, based on classic hardware, optimised for modern CPUs, and extended for quality.
· 3 delay-line algorithms, covering vintage and modern delay lines.
· Configurable topology, for control over effect routing, to get exactly the right madness.
· Movable modulated gain-stage for pan/gain effects, to get things pumping and moving.
· Stereo, M&S independent and L&R independent modes

Modulation:
· 3 bezier-drawable LFOs, with swing and tempo synch
· Sidechain-able enveloper follower, with extensive control
· Full mod-matrix to route any source to any control
· MIDI playable/pitch-bend for Pitch

Requirements:

· VST/AU host

Limitations:

· 30 days trial period
