Description:

The RBC Voice Tweaker is a pitch transposer designed for monophonic signals such as voice, spoken or sung, or solo instruments. It can transpose the pitch and harmonic independently, thus enabling both formant preserving pitch transpose and other more unusual effects. The Voice Tweaker also features a pitch correction function and MIDI control. As a DirectX plugin it can be used with all DAW's (Digital Audio Workstation) or Sound editors with DirectX plugin support. It has been tested to work in the following environments: 

  Sound Forge 4.5
  Logic Audio Platinum 3.5 
  Cubase VST 3.553
  Wavelab 2.01
  CoolEdit Pro 1.1
  Cakewalk Pro Audio 7.0
