Baby Audio has released Humanoid, a new vocal manipulator plug-in for Mac and PC. Baby Audio describes Humanoid as “an over-the-top pitch corrector designed for instant hard-tuning and radical voice manipulation.”
Humanoid’s FFT-powered pitch engine drives the Autotune forced-tuning effect even harder with an even more aggressive and synthetic flavor. In combination with its transformative resynthesis features, Humanoid lets users create robotic vocals from any singing performance with a new approach to vocal tuning and phase-vocoding.

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. In addition, Humanoid can tune incoming vocals to any target pitch without artifacts, making it perfect for generating choirs of robotic harmony from simple inputs.

Humanoid is designed for extreme hard-tuning and takes the distinctive sound further into the future with a wide range of innovative voice manipulation features. Morph your vocals into synth waveforms to create unique timbres that merge human and machine qualities. At its most extreme, Humanoid will turn a voice fully into a synthesizer, while moderate settings will add a subtle electronic shine to the vocal mix. Choose from 64 factory wavetables – or import your own – for unbound sonic variation. Then use the shaping features to further sculpt the sound of your robot voice alter-ego. Humanoid 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. For example, turn a lead vocal into a symphony by layering it with re-pitched variations of itself or use Humanoid as a futuristic vocoder. The re-tuning engine handles note changes seamlessly, even across large ranges.
