Zynaptiq Presents Polyphonic Pitchmap

Zynaptiq has announced the release of Pitchmap, the worldʼs first and only audio plug-in capable of polyphonic pitch-correction and pitch-mapping in real-time.
Pitchmap allows real-time correction of pitch inaccuracies within mixed signals, as well as completely altering the tonality, chords, harmonies or melodies of a musical signal on- the-fly, a process Zynaptiq refers to as Pitch Mapping. Pitchmap does this using Zynaptiqʼs proprietary, artificial intelligence based MAP technology (Mixed-Signal Audio Processing) to de-mix an incoming signal – like, for example, a full mix – into individual elements, and then allows the user to arbitrarily or automatically correct and modify their pitches. Additionally, Pitchmap provides means to deliberately induce processing “errors” to make results sound synthetic in a very futuristic and unique way.

“Our DSP Developer Stephan M. Bernsee has come up with what we believe to be a real game-changer.” Zynaptiq CEO Denis H. Goekdag said. “Pitchmap lets you reach into a recording and change the pitch-related aspects of the composition on-the-fly. You can change an entire song from minor to major with just a couple of clicks, simultaneously correcting any tuning issues and changing the key. While there are other pitch processing solutions available, Pitchmap combines polyphonic capability, a real-time workflow and an exceptional processing quality based on techniques that model the human auditory system, thus opening up a whole new level of creativity.”
Pitchmap provides all of the following functionality in real-time:

Automatic correction of pitch inaccuracies in polyphonic/mixed signals
Pitch Mapping: Change harmonies and melodies on the fly
Pitch Mapping via GUI-created source/destination maps or real-time MIDI-input
Macro controls for near-instant creation of harmony- and key-changes
Snapshot functionality for fast workflow and easy automation
Perceptive modeling based Natural mode for voice-adapted processing
Continuously variable Electrify parameter for making results sound synthetic in an exciting and unique way

On the Mac, Pitchmap requires OS X 10.6 or later and an Intel CPU with at least 2 Cores. Pitchmap will initially be released as an AU (Audio Units) plug-in, with VST and AAX support for both Mac and Windows platforms planned for later in 2012.
Pitchmap is priced at $399. A free trial is also available for download. A special introductory price of $269 will be available until 1 April 2012.
