Zynaptiq Releases PitchMap

It is initially for Mac OS X in the AudioUnits (AU) format.

PitchMap is a demixing-based plug-in that allows changing melodies and harmonies of any mixed musical recording in real-time, either by transforming them to new ones played on a MIDI keyboard, or by setting freely defined target scales. Based on Zynaptiqʼs MAP artificial intelligence technology, PitchMap can be applied to a variety of tasks, including music production, remix work, correction of tuning issues and manipulation of existing recordings. In addition, PitchMap provides functions to remove or extract individual sounds from a mix, and can apply synthesizer-like sound transformations.

Features at a glance:

• Pitch Mapping: Change harmonies and melodies within mixed signals.
• Pitch Mapping via live MIDI-input or GUI-created source/destination Pitch Maps.
• Automatic correction of pitch inaccuracies in polyphonic/mixed signals.
• Perceptive modeling based Natural mode for voice-adapted processing.
• Content-aware Mute-Filters for removing sounds, including their harmonics, transients and noise components, from a mix.
• Transform macro-controls for creation of harmony- and key-changes.
• Snapshot functionality.
• Continuously variable Electrify and Purify parameters for applying synthesizer-like sound manipulation.
• Continuously variable Glide parameter for adding polyphonic portamento/glide effects.
• Stereo AudioUnits (AU) Plug-In.

PitchMap as well as a free trial are available now from the Zynaptiq website as a Mac AU (AudioUnits) Plug-In, with VST and AAX support for both Mac and Windows platforms planned for later in 2012.

PitchMap is priced at $/€399. A limited-time introductory price of $/€269 is available until April 1st, 2012 (prices in EUR inclusive of 19% VAT).
