v1.3 Synchro Arts RePitch Standard

RePitch Features

Enhanced musical pitch analysis

Drawing on over 25 years of vocal processing expertise, RePitch identifies notes in your vocal based on the fundamental principles of human pitch perception. We think you’ll be amazed at how incredibly natural and ‘undoctored’ RePitch’s processing sounds, even with the most extreme edits.

Powerful tuning and time editing tools

While RePitch makes it possible to instantly correct the pitch of an entire vocal track, it also has a comprehensive suite of intuitive editing tools for fine tuning and tweaking a performance. So you can take command of pitch, timing, vibrato, formants, sibilance and more, with a slick, intuitive workflow that never gets in your way.

SynchroLink enabled for VocAlign Ultra connectivity

Thanks to our brand-new proprietary SynchroLink technology, you can connect RePitch to our industry standard VocAlign Ultra plug-in, for instant transfer of pitch and timing edits to double tracks, background vocals and more. An industry-first workflow that can save many hours of laborious manual editing and enable creative exploration.

Edit pitch, sibilance and breaths separately

As RePitch processes pitched and non-pitched note sections separately, this makes it simple to deal with problem sibilants, consonants and breath noises quickly and easily. In addition, as non-pitched elements never get tuned with the rest of your vocal, your end result will sound more natural and transparent.

Scale Detection

Once your vocal is successfully loaded, RePitch will analyse the pitches within the signal and suggest the most likely scale. This makes it possible to snap all the notes in your performance to the detected scale making tuning faster and easier than ever. It’s also possible to manually set to any scale if needed.

Fully Resizable GUI

We understand your screen real-estate is valuable so RePitch can be reduced to down to a compact size just showing the key controls for operation. With a completely resizable GUI, RePitch can be as big or as small as you need to be, depending on which controls you need to see.

Full ARA2 Integration With Compatible DAWs

ARA, or Audio Random Access, is a revolutionary audio plug-in extension that enables unprecedented instant communication between ARA-enabled plug-ins and DAWs. The huge time-saving benefit for RePitch users is that real-time audio capture is no longer necessary as audio files can be instantly captured, updated and returned to your DAW.

Two Activations With Every License

Each purchase of RePitch comes with two activations so you have more flexibility when it comes to using our software. For example if you have a studio computer and a laptop, both machines can now be activated using iLok.

All iLok Copy Protection options supported (no iLok USB dongle needed)

With RePitch you can store your license on your computer, your iLok USB key or in the iLok Cloud. This enables you to log into your iLok account from any location and access your license.

Version 1.3.18.1

• NEW! Shaper Tool. A completely unique feature for RePitch 1.3, the Shaper Tool enables the user to place ‘shape points’ on a pitch or level trace so they can be manipulated in ways which are difficult to achieve with the RePitch draw tool and also don’t need the note block to the split first like other pitch editing products.
• Improvements to Note Block controls. We have increased the number of parameters that can be edited from a note block by introducing ‘Control Points’ which sit around the note block and enable values to be changed quickly, speeding up user workflow.

We have also divided inside the Note Block into a top section for Pitch controls and the bottom half for Time Warp and Movement controls.

Improved time warping is now available in RePitch via the note block, so notes can lengthened or shortened and the surrounding blocks will adjust accordingly. This is powered by the same technology as our Warp Points tool but made easier and faster to use.

Also, selections of one or more note blocks can now be moved horizontally in time which is has been a highly requested feature and again when a note is moved, surrounding blocks will automatically adjust e.g a sibilant at the start of a pitch block will move too.

• Modulation and Drift contol enhancements. Following user feedback, we’ve updated how RePitch edits pitch modulate and drift to be more in line with best practise.
• Faster processing. If edits are being applied in RePitch to a long signal, we now only process the segment of audio which has been changed, this can significantly speed up processing time.
• Instant Bypass (B) – Bypass is now on a hotkey for easier A / B comparison of before and after processing.
• Level Editing improvements – Notes selected in the pitch view are selected in the level view. Warp Time is available in the level display. Shaper Tool works on the level display. When moving notes the interpolation of transition and ungrouped audio now sounds better. If you cut a note on the pitch display it is also cut on the level display.
• Custom Keyboard Shortcuts. Quick and easy way to set up your own hotkeys and save presets.
• Undo now positions timeline at location of the undo, so you can see what undo / redo change was made.
• Option to reset pitch, level or timing changes separately
• Drift can now be set in a macro
• Several fixes and other small improvements

Version 1.2

Editing

● Changes to macros, snap control and scale management

○ In Scale menu, you can add new scales and use a selected scale in Macros which will not be overwritten by the measured scale.

○ The Detected (“Measured”) scale will be shown in the Scale menu and kept in the Scale Window’s Active Scale list.

○ The Snap switch, when ON, now:

• Makes “Snapping” operations use the displayed Scale’s notes
• Turns ON the display of only the allowed Scale notes in the Main Window

○ Factory Macros are simplified and now ask:

• First –  for Pitch Range (to speed up and improve editing) and then
• Secondly – Do you want to manually edit or automatically tune to a user-Selected scale or the Measured (Detected) scale

●  NEW Multi-Region EditingMode – Editing functions are now supported across multiple regions (when they exist).

For clarity, we use the name “Region” for the sections of audio that have been captured or transferred from your DAW (where they might be called “clips”, “segments”, “sections”, “events” or other names). Most DAWs support more than one of these Regions in a track.

• Select notes across regions and edit all at the same time
• Use the Correct Pitch and Draw tools across regions
• Apply Macros to notes in all the Region(s)
• Use the right/left Arrow keys to step through notes across regions
• Select Region for VocAlign Ultra to access it as Guide audio (mainly for Studio One)
• Delete a selected Region when you have Real-time Captured regions.
• In Single Region Editing mode you can isolate the selected Region and not see any other Regions.
  This helps editing notes that might be obscured by other Region’s notes.

User Interface

Undo and Redo the capture of audio in Real-time mode

• You will get a warning notice when you delete audio
• Undo and Redo operations are now faster for the draw tool and correct pitch
• Undo of Draw Tool operations is now much faster

Other Improvements

• Show start & ends of multiple Regions in main and overview windows and Selected Region (grey) range bar at top of screen under Playback Loop “track”.
• Clearer “Playhead” and smoother movement.
• Faster Screen updates:  Screen redraws should be significantly faster.

Playback

New local playback engine.

• Plays across regions
• Plays local loops
• Allows audio scrubbing (put mouse cursor on Playback head and drag left and right)

Playback Loop operation improved

• You can Jump to the start of a Playback Loop from anywhere in the timeline  (even if loop range is not visible in RePitch)
  • To do this: Hold down OPTION / ALT key and Double-click in the RePitch window in empty area.
• Playback loops back to start from the end of a Playback Loop for local playback
• If you have a Playback Loop, you can use its range to select the audio that crosses and are within its boundaries.
  • This is now in the main Right Click menu. Set Selected from Playback Loop.
  • This can used for many things including for a key change, to apply tuning or other operation to the range using the different scale.
• Playback Loops new now work in AAX and Real-Time VST and AU RePitch versions.

Navigation

● Zoom to selected range (Z key) and back out using Z key now works after doing other operations in between Z key presses.

Storage

• Better file management to prevent excessive disk use (unnecessary files are deleted when DAW / RePitch is closed)
