Get Altered!

Want that overly popular pitch-quantized hard-tune effect? Yep, Little AlterBoy has you covered. Plus, we've included one of our classic tube saturation models from Decapitator to add warmth and edge to your new vocal creation.

Control Your Creation

Once you've crafted your perfect vocal effect signature, you can use MIDI in your DAW to control the pitch for dramatic vocoder or harmony effects. It's a hugely powerful way to find new directions and drive new ideas. Check out the video to see how it's done.

History in the Re-Making

Our roots are in pitch-shifting. Our founders were part of the team that created the Eventide H3000, one of the most iconic pitch-shifters of all time. They went on to start a company called Wave Mechanics (soon to be called Soundtoys), which created the first real-time pitch and formant shifter: PurePitch TDM. Back in the ProTools TDM years, SoundToys also produced other high quality pitch-based effects including the acclaimed PitchDoctor and SoundBlender.

With Little AlterBoy, we've distilled all of that knowledge to create a potent little vocal tool. We wanted to give you a wide range of the most popular vocal effects of the day, and give you the freedom to create your own signature sounds, too.

• Transform vocals with a set of easy-to-use tools in one simple plug-in.
