Little AlterBoy

the docs

Takeaways

  • vocal pitch and formant manipulation
  • mashed up with a tube saturation model from Decapitator
  • designed to process only clean monophonic vocal tracks
  • be sure to insert Little AlterBoy BEFORE any other effects
  • Pitch up/down 1 octave (by semitones)
  • Linking pitch and format will create DJ-style pitch warping
  • turn formant up to make vocals sound more feminine, down to make vocals sound more masculine
  • Quantize tunes your vocal to the nearest chromatic semitone as quickly as possible
  • Robot locks your vocal track to a single note
  • In ROBOT mode, when the PITCH knob is set to 0.0 the vocal pitch will be locked one octave above middle C
  • You can map Little AlterBoy’s Pitch control to a MIDI keyboard so you can play chords, or in ROBOT mode create vocoder style effects
  • QUANTIZE mode and a healthy dose of DRIVE will give you instant access to a much-abused pop vocal effect
