What MicroPitch Is For
MicroPitch is a high-resolution stereo pitch shifting plug-in designed to instantly add more width and density to a source without drowning it in reverb. It excels on vocals, guitars, synths, electric pianos, pads, choirs, and effects buses by adding two slightly detuned and delayed versions of the signal to achieve a wider, livelier, and more "three-dimensional" sound.
Beyond simple "stereo spread," MicroPitch also becomes a true creative toolbox: vintage slapback, tempo-synced delays, thick modulations, and pitch rise or fall effects via feedback. The result: a tool as relevant for sound design as for modern mixing (pop, rock, electro, hip-hop, cinematic).
Main Features
Two Voices to Sculpt Width with Precision
MicroPitch combines two pitch shifting voices: one goes down to -50 cents, the other up to +50 cents, each independently delayable (up to 2 seconds). This architecture allows for natural stereo widening, but also more pronounced effects when pushing delay times for slapbacks and rhythmic echoes.
Advanced Controls: Tone, Modulation, Feedback
The TONE control helps integrate the processed voices into the mix by adjusting their color, useful to avoid excessive brightness or, conversely, to brighten a doubling. Modulation (depth and rate) adds a chorus-like movement to each voice, perfect for thickening leads or adding "life" to a static take. Finally, FEEDBACK opens the door to pitch dive or rise effects, as well as more intense repeats for transitions and textures.
A "Playable" Plug-in with RIBBON and MIXLOCK
Inherited from a performance-oriented approach, RIBBON allows real-time evolution of the effect between two states: moving from simple sweetening to a delay-throw, or transforming a dark delay into a brighter delay for transitions. In production, it works very well with automation; live, it becomes a smooth and expressive macro control. Meanwhile, MIXLOCK keeps the overall mix level constant when changing presets, allowing you to compare atmospheres without level variations.

Questions frequently asked
Is MicroPitch compatible with macOS and Windows?
The software runs on macOS 10.14 or later, supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon processors. Windows compatibility is ensured starting from Windows 10.
Can it widen a voice without using reverb?
The two pitch-shifting voices add slightly detuned and delayed versions of the signal to create stereo width. The TONE control allows adjusting their character to better blend them into the mix.
What is the maximum delay available on each voice?
Each voice can be independently delayed up to 2 seconds, allowing for slapbacks and rhythmic echoes.
How to create pitch rise or dive effects?
The FEEDBACK control generates pitch rise and pitch dive effects. The modulation depth and rate add a chorus movement on each voice. RIBBON then allows evolving the effect in real-time between two settings.
Can the delays follow the project tempo?
A TEMPO control allows syncing the delays to create rhythmic effects. MIXLOCK preserves the MIX balance when changing presets.
