Baby Audio launches Humanoid vocal transformation tool

Baby Audio has announced its first foray into vocal effects with Humanoid, an over-the-top pitch corrector designed for instant hard-tuning and radical voice manipulation.

With a brand new approach to vocal tuning and phase-vocoding, the plugin is designed to transform singers of any style and ability into their best synthetic selves.

Humanoid’s FFT-powered pitch engine builds on the familiar hard-tuning effect with an even more aggressive and synthetic flavour. In combination with its transformative resynthesis features, Humanoid lets users create robotic vocals from any singing performance. The plugin is powered entirely by sophisticated DSP and does not use AI in any capacity.

Like classic vocal tuners, Humanoid can instantly remap incoming vocals to a musical scale. It can also be controlled manually, or played with MIDI like a vocoder. Humanoid can tune incoming vocals to any target pitch without artefacts, making it well suited for generating choirs of robotic harmony from simple inputs.

Humanoid also comes loaded with creative effects, helpful utilities and carefully curated presets, allowing producers to craft mix-ready synthetic vocals with an all-in-one solution.

Humanoid is compatible with all major DAWs for Mac and PC and fully M1/M2 native, with an iOS version underway. The plugin is available now for $129 MSRP, with a $79 intro sale.

Baby Audio also recently expanded its synth line up with a new virtual instrument called Atoms, as well as releasing a free compression plugin called Beat Slammer, designed for smashing and squashing drums, beats or entire mix busses. More info below:
