The IRCAM Forum, an online community network, bringing together more than 150,000 users internationally. Both professionals and amateurs may share their own productions and gain access to sound creation technologies in their most open and experimental forms.
Pitches Brew transposes pitch and formants using editable frequency curves. Pitch shifts the fundamental while preserving the spectral envelope; formants modify the envelope without changing the fundamental.

Sound design and processing
This plugin blends amplitudes and frequencies of a source and side-chain sound to create a hybrid, enabling gradual transformation by mixing their phase and amplitude components.

This plugin applies a side-chain’s spectral traits to a source to alter its timbre. For example, a vocal side-chain can make an instrument “speak” using spectral morphing.
