Latency first
The engine is built for a live chain. Every processing block has a latency budget, checked before it ships, and note transitions land where you sang them.
Audio tools for the stage
Pitch correction you can sing through.
Performative corrects pitch in real time, at latency built for the monitor chain. It moves the note and leaves the rest of the take alone.

Method
Key-aware
Pick a key and correction lands only on the notes in it. Toggle individual notes for custom scales, or run chromatic and correct to every semitone.
Character, dialed
Retune speed runs from transparent touch-up to full hard-tune. Character presets are stored separately from song setup, so the sound you built survives a key change.

Proof
Tested against the best, by ear.
Nothing ships on a hunch. Every audible change is measured against the industry-standard tuner on real recordings, then confirmed in blind listening before it merges. Most ideas don't survive that. The ones that ship are the ones that held up.
Same take — flip Dry / Corrected while it plays.
measured latency
end-to-end · dry-referenced · 44.1–96 kHz
Latency gets the same measurement. End-to-end delay against the dry take, swept at 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz and three retune speeds — the same number at every rate and every speed. Live mode runs a drift-resampler path that holds correction at 2.6 ms while tracking the full range down to 50 Hz. The three PSOLA modes trade latency for depth: Crisp at 18 ms and Voice at 28 ms both hold an 80 Hz floor, and Full reaches down to 50 Hz at 44 ms. Notes below a mode's floor pass through untouched.

- Formats
- VST3. Windows x64, and macOS Universal — Intel and Apple silicon.
- Range modes
- Live at 2.6 ms, Crisp at 18, Voice at 28, Full at 44 — each a different trade between latency and how deep it tracks. Live and Full follow down to 50 Hz; Crisp and Voice hold an 80 Hz floor and pass anything below it through untouched.
- Retune speed
- Transparent touch-up through instant hard-tune.
- Flow
- Snap for classic hard-tune, or Ride to follow fast motion and correct on arrival.
- Key & scale
- Chromatic, major, minor, or toggle single notes for a custom scale.
- Mix
- Blend the corrected signal against the dry.
- Output
- Level trim on the way out.
- Monitoring
- Listen to the source, and a live readout of detected note, target, and cents.
- Presets
- Character saved apart from song setup, so the sound survives a key change.

Ear
Performative Ear
free companion pluginDrop it on the master or an instrumental bus and it answers one question: what key is this song in? A neural detector listens to the last 15 seconds and keeps averaging for as long as the song plays. Performative, over on the vocal, follows the key it hears — continuously, or one note at a time when you press Get Key. It exists because a plugin on the vocal only ever hears the vocal, which is the weakest key evidence there is.
- Price
- Free.
- Audio path
- Passes through untouched — bit-transparent, no added latency.
- Detector
- Neural key detection, roughly 79% exact on the GiantSteps benchmark.
- Link
- Sixteen bytes of shared memory on your own machine. No files, no network.

Buy
- One purchase. No subscription.
- No dongle, no iLok. The key arrives by email.
- Verification runs offline. A signature check against your own clock, no socket, always.
- Two network calls, both when the editor opens, never while audio runs: an anonymous update check you can switch off, and a silent license renewal. Stay offline a month straight and the license asks you to reconnect.
- One license covers all of version 1. Updates never re-ask for the key.
- 3 machines at a time. Activate and deactivate them yourself.
