Originally designed to correct pitchy vocals as transparently as possible, automatic tuning plugins are now just as frequently used as extreme, creative effects. So, with Humanoid, Baby Audio has dispensed with the idea of creating a ‘natural’ sounding processor and built something that specialises in hard tuning and freaky robotic voice manipulation.
That said, some things do look familiar. The Pitch section, for example, enables you to set a scale to which your vocals will be tuned. There’s also a Note mode that gives you the option of setting the desired pitch manually by clicking on a graphical musical keyboard, or you can ‘play’ Humanoid from your MIDI keyboard.
