Auto Pitch
Auto Pitch corrects vocals to a key and scale - seven scales from chromatic to pentatonic - with a Retune control that spans invisible pitch support to the hard robotic snap. Flex preserves expressive bends, Humanize relaxes held notes, and confidence weighting keeps the detector honest on noisy sources.
The finishing tools go deep: generated vibrato with delay and shape, drift removal, flattening of the singer's own vibrato, formant preservation with independent formant shift, and cent-level grid detuning. Switch Target to MIDI and the voice follows the melody you play - correction becomes an instrument.
Why it hits different
The GhostWare take.
- One Retune knob from invisible to full robot.
- Humanize, flex and confidence controls for natural results.
- MIDI target mode: play the melody, the vocal follows.

AUTO KEY
Detects the key automatically from the audio - bypasses the manual Key and Scale selectors.
Control Showcase
Every control, explained.
23 controls, named exactly as they appear in the plugin.
The key the correction snaps to.
The scale within that key: Chromatic, Major, Minor, Dorian, Mixolydian or Pentatonics.
How fast pitch snaps to the target - fast is the hard robotic effect, slow is transparent.
How much of the correction is applied.
Lets expressive bends survive correction.
Relaxes the correction on held notes so sustains sound natural.
Limits detection to a register: Auto, Low, Mid or High.
Scales correction strength by how sure the detector is - raise it on noisy sources, set 0 to always correct.
Shapes the glide between corrected notes - 0 snaps, higher scoops smoothly into the new note.
Extra humanize applied after a note has been held this long.
Offsets the whole correction grid in cents, for non-standard tuning.
Adds generated vibrato after correction.
Speed of that vibrato.
Delay before vibrato fades in on each note.
Vibrato waveform: Sine, Triangle or Random.
Removes slow pitch drift while leaving vibrato intact.
Flattens the singer's own vibrato before yours is added.
Preserves the vocal formants during correction so tone stays natural.
Shifts the formants for character, independent of pitch.
What pitch is corrected to: the Scale, or live MIDI notes - play the melody and the voice follows.
Detects the key and scale from the audio automatically - when On, the manual Key and Scale selectors are bypassed.
Selects the tuning engine. Classic is the original zero-latency shifter; Pro is a pitch-synchronous engine that retunes glottal cycle by glottal cycle for a cleaner hard-tune, trading a few milliseconds of latency (reported to the DAW, which compensates automatically).
Chooses how Flex treats natural pitch movement. Center splits the voice into a slow note center - corrected fully, so a flat note lands on pitch - and fast vibrato that passes through at the Flex amount. Classic is the original behavior that softens all small corrections proportionally.
