parallel pitch voices

Not six copies of one algorithm. Six independent granular pitch shifters running simultaneously, each reading from its own grain buffer, each shifting to a different interval. The primary voices detune by a single semitone in each direction. The extended voices reach an octave further - but every octave voice is offset by a minor second, so dissonance doesn't resolve as you move through the spectrum. It scales.

Primary Voices

±1 Semitone

The foundation. Two voices, each shifting the input by a single semitone - one down, one up. A minor second in both directions. At low blend levels they add thickness and width the way a chorus does, but without the modulation. At higher levels the dissonance becomes the point. Two independent blend knobs let you weight the detuning in either direction, or push both sides equally for a symmetric shimmer that sits around your dry signal like a second skin.

The smallest interval carries the most tension.

Extended Voices

Octave Depth

Four more voices live one octave below and above the primaries. Not clean octaves - each one is offset by that same minor second, so the lower voices land at -13 and -11 semitones while the higher voices reach +11 and +13. They only activate when a primary blend is turned up. The octave depth controls scale them against the primary level, so they always stay proportional. Turn everything up and the six voices span nearly three octaves of stacked dissonance.

The spectrum doesn't resolve. It multiplies.

What it carries

Ghost

A 10ms micro-delay applied after pitch shifting, before saturation. At low settings it doubles and thickens the shifted signal. Push it further and phase interference takes over - metallic flanging, shimmering artifacts, textures that shouldn't exist.

Saturation

Soft-clipping with even harmonic generation. The drive range goes from gentle warmth to full compression, applied to the wet signal only. Your dry signal stays untouched underneath. The saturation stage turns dissonance into something physical.

Parallel Mix

Additive blend - not a crossfade. Your dry signal is always present at full level. Turning mix up adds the processed signal on top. At zero, silence. At full, the entire pitch-shifted, ghosted, saturated chain stacks onto your original.

Zero Latency

The granular engine introduces roughly 30ms of grain latency from the pitch shifting itself, but there's no added buffer delay. Real-time processing. Your DAW compensates automatically, and the signal stays responsive enough to play through live.

True Stereo

Independent left and right processing through separate grain buffers and delay lines. Each channel shifts on its own, creating natural spatial width. Or sum to mono with one toggle - the switch is on the top panel, one click away.

20 Presets

Factory presets from subtle thickening to full spectral obliteration. Every one designed to show a different face of the engine. Save your own with full undo - delete something by accident, bring it back instantly. Everything persists between sessions.

Post-processing chain

GHOST → SATURATE

The order matters. Ghost is applied after pitch shifting and before saturation - a 10ms delayed copy of the wet signal crossfaded with the original, then driven into the soft-clipping stage. Saturating a ghosted signal produces different harmonics than ghosting a saturated signal. The phase interference from Ghost creates comb-filtering artifacts that the saturation stage then compresses and reshapes into new overtones. Neither effect can produce these textures alone. The interaction is the instrument.

At low settings both stages are invisible - gentle thickening, subtle warmth. Push them together and the signal starts folding in on itself, producing dense harmonic content that sits somewhere between distortion and synthesis.

Built for the session

Presets

20 factory presets designed to cover the full range of the engine. Save your own with one click. Full undo - delete a preset by accident, bring it back instantly. Everything uppercase. Everything persistent.

Resize

Three fixed sizes - 50%, 75%, 100%. Click to switch. The interface scales proportionally. Small enough for a crowded plugin chain, large enough to see every detail of the pedal artwork.

Recall

Full state persistence. Every parameter, every GUI preference - saved with your DAW session and restored exactly as you left it. Open the project, pick up where you stopped.

Questions

64-bit VST3 for Windows. Compatible with DAWs that support VST3 plugins on Windows. macOS support is in development, and Windows and macOS will be separate releases.

No. Windows and macOS are separate purchases. The current release is Windows-only, and the macOS version will be available separately when it launches.

After purchase, you'll receive a license key by email. Each license is intended for one user and includes activation for up to 2 machines. If you change computers or need an activation reset, contact support and we'll help.

All digital purchases are final due to the nature of downloadable software. If you have an installation, compatibility, or activation issue, contact support and we'll help you get it working.

Malpitch's main CPU cost comes from its pitch/granular processing voices. Lighter settings use less processing, while denser multi-voice settings use more. It uses pure DSP with no sample libraries, so RAM use is negligible.

Not currently. These plugins are launching with introductory pricing for a limited time, with regular pricing planned after the launch period.
