Instant hard-tuning for unique vocals
Humanoid is designed for extreme hard tuning, pushing the boundaries of modern vocal effects. Its FFT-based re-tuning engine delivers a smooth and crisp sound, making it perfect for creating captivating, futuristic vocals. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned producer, Humanoid transforms any vocal performance into a synthetic masterpiece.
Morph your vocals into synth waveforms
Turn your vocals into unique synth waveforms with Humanoid’s innovative morphing features. At its most extreme, this plugin can completely synthesize a voice, while more moderate settings add a subtle electronic shine. Choose from 64 factory wavetables or import your own for unbound sonic variation, and use the shaping features to further sculpt your robotic voice alter-ego.
Create harmonies from any vocal
Humanoid’s pitch can be manually controlled via automation or MIDI, allowing you to create new melodies, harmonies, or chords from any vocal take. Turn a lead vocal into a symphony by layering it with re-pitched variations or use Humanoid as a futuristic vocoder. Its re-tuning engine handles note changes seamlessly, even across large ranges.
Advanced features for deeper control
Humanoid offers advanced calibration options and features, accessible by clicking the ‘gear’ icons next to the knobs. With 180 presets crafted by leading sound designers, you can produce professional-grade robotic vocals right out of the box. For good singers, Humanoid offers new timbres and variation; for bad singers, it offers a total makeover. Only your creativity sets the limit.
Reviews
"Humanoid is absolutely stunning! I love the interface and the range it offers, allowing for both subtle enhancements and creative experimentation. It's fantastic on vocals and equally impressive on other instruments. Baby audio never fails to deliver." - Dimitri Tikovi - Grammy Nominated Producer (Placebo, Charli XCX, Blondie, The Horrors)
"I am more than impressed by this new take on pitch correction! It's packed with features and has a beautiful, easy-to-use GUI that is on par with what I expected from your plugins. I can see myself being really creative with this!" - Smitty Soul - Multi-Platinum songwriter and producer (Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Akon)
"The new standard for voice manipulation. You guys hit a home run here. Way ahead of its time. Humanoid is one of those plugins that becomes a "go-to" while half a dozen similar ones become unused indefinitely. Features I've always wished I had as well as features I never knew I needed. " - Rob Kleiner - Grammy-nominated producer (Sia, Labrinth, David Guetta, The Weeknd)
"Humanoid blurs the line between authentic vocal performances and vocal synthesizers, transforming the way vocoders, real-time pitch manipulation, vocal chops and vocal synths are crafted. I was completely blown away by this." - Matt Sim - Grammy-Nominated Mixer (Nicki Minaj, The Chainsmokers, Gucci Mane)
"I opened a session, put Humanoid on a solo vocal track and used the electric piano MIDI track to feed notes to the vocal. Instant fire!" - Jae Deal - Producer and Composer (Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, T-Pain, Charlie XCX)
