Klevgrand Altitude: Real-time Vocal Processing & Harmonies

Klevgrand, a notable name in audio software development, has officially launched Altitude, a new “vocal performance station” designed for singers, producers, and live performers. This innovative plugin aims to elevate real-time vocal processing, fostering creativity and streamlined workflows within various musical contexts. Altitude integrates a suite of powerful tools, including precise pitch correction, intelligent three-voice harmonies, and a MIDI-playable voice module, all operating with zero latency. Consequently, it is suitable for both studio environments and demanding live stage applications.

Advanced Vocal Shaping and Harmony Generation

Altitude offers extensive capabilities for vocal refinement. Users can achieve the distinctive hard-tune effect or apply subtle pitch correction to polish vocal takes imperceptibly. Furthermore, the plugin excels at creating lush, musical harmonies that automatically adapt to the detected key, providing a seamless experience for both live performance and studio production. This intelligent approach to harmony generation ensures musical coherence, which is essential for professional results.Beyond traditional vocal processing, Altitude introduces a unique MIDI-playable voice module. This feature allows users to control their voice like an instrument using a MIDI keyboard or to arrange intricate harmonies and melodies directly within their DAW’s MIDI editor. Moreover, the plugin incorporates deep modulation options, facilitating the addition of movement and texture to vocals. These range from subtle pitch drifts to entirely new soundscapes, expanding creative possibilities significantly. The core of Altitude’s processing power lies in its pitch-correction engine, which Klevgrand claims rivals leading industry solutions. It is engineered for precision, musicality, and reliability, forming a solid foundation for the plugin’s broader capabilities.

Versatility for Studio and Stage

Altitude is not merely a pitch corrector; it opens doors to novel harmonies and vocal soundscapes, suitable for both studio productions and live performances. Whether an individual is new to singing or has extensive stage experience, Altitude provides tools to enhance vocal expression. It serves as a comprehensive hub for all vocal processing needs, empowering users to achieve more with their voice. The low latency mode, in particular, makes it an ideal choice for live situations where responsiveness is paramount. Additionally, features like dual doubler modes and stereo widening contribute to a fuller, more expansive vocal sound.
