ELASTIQUE PITCH General Operation

What are the differences between ELASTIQUE PITCH V2 and ELASTIQUE PITCH V2.5?

ELASTIQUE PITCH Version 2.5 has been completely redesigned with user experience in mind. Aside from the greatly improved GUI, Version 2.5 is powered by the latest version of zplane's ÉLASTIQUEPRO algorithm, and boasts up to 16 channels of multichannel support, doubled from eight channels in Version 2.

After updating from Version 2 to Version 2.5, I can't find my automation data. How can I recover it?

Provided you haven't saved your project, close your DAW and uninstall ELASTIQUE PITCH Version 2.5. Reinstall the legacy version of ELASTIQUE PITCH V2.2.2.5 from the user account centre, then try to reopen your project. If your automation data is present, check if you are using a VST2 instance of ELASTIQUE PITCH V2. Version 2.5 does not come in the VST2 format, so you'll need to replace the VST2 instance with a VST3, AU or AAX format and copy your automation over. Then update ELASTIQUE PITCH to Version 2.5 again.

Will Version 2.5 automatically replace instances of Version 2 in my DAW projects?

Yes, if you are using VST3, AU, or AAX versions of ELASTIQUE PITCH V2, then it will be automatically replaced by Version 2.5.

Legacy VST2 instances of ELASTIQUE PITCH V2 are only replaced automatically in some DAWs (including Cubase, Studio One and Reaper). In some DAWs, such as Ableton, this is not the case, and you should instead replace the VST2 instance of ELASTIQUE PITCH V2 with a VST3, AU or AAX instance before updating to ELASTIQUE PITCH Version 2.5.

How to control the pitch by MIDI input?

Connect a MIDI input to your plugin, click on the MIDI toggle switch in ELASTIQUE PITCH and start playing! The pitch factor 100.00% (±0.00st) corresponds to a MIDI pitch of 60 (C3). MIDI Pitches in the octave below will shift down, higher MIDI pitches will shift up. The shift factor is calculated with the distance from pitch C3.

What are the differences between élastiqueAAX and ELASTIQUE PITCH?

ELASTIQUE PITCH is a realtime Pitch Shifting plugin and it supports all Mac and Windows DAWs via VST, AU and AAX native plugin formats.

élastiqueAAX on the other side is a Time Stretching and Pitch Shifting plugin for AVID Pro-Tools only. It offers no realtime operation, but faster than realtime processing via AAX native and Audiosuite.

How to pitch shift in semitones?

Click on the Percent Unit in the pitch (or timbre) display to show the shift in semitones. The decimals represent the pitch shift in cent.

What are the standard timbre settings?
  • No Formant Preservation: Activate the link switch when both pitch and timbre have the same value, e.g. 100% (default position). Pitch and timbre factors will equal each other now.
  • Formant Preservation: Deactivate the link switch and reset the timbre factor to 100.00% or ±0.00st.
  • Formant Shifting: Activate the link switch when both pitch and timbre do not have the same value. Formants will now be shifted by a constant amount.

How to resize the interface?

Drag the lower right corner to change the interface proportions.

How do you reset the sliders to default?

Double-click on the corresponding slider handle at the bottom or side of the XY control, or on the value label at the top of the interface.
