EVERYTHING ABOUT PITCHMAP!!! (The Future Riddim/Color Bass Plugin)

[@adamsmith7058]

Weapon of choice for years. Absolutely love it. You do know that you can route midi to it and have it respond to whatever melody or chords you are using right? And that you can also create scenes with different scales, intensities of tuning and switch between them. You can also define your own scales or chords and select which part of your audio is tuned to particular note in a chord. Or set part of the audio not to be tuned at all. Useful for drums, where you might not want to tune the whole signal, in order to better preserve transients. One cool use of it for me has been to use non tuned sounds like radio tuning, machine noise, or any random found sounds with it. Tune them to a few single of notes, to create multisamples, loop them in any audio editor. Clean the high frequencies, because even at high sample rates there are some dodgy artefacts. Then use them with any sampler or synth with sampling capabilites. Granular synths like Padshop pro, UVI Falcon and Pigments, in particular have yielded some amazing results for me. NI's Form is good for this sort of thing as well. Using this in combination with granular effects and fft stuff like Unfiltered Audio's Spec Ops has also lead to some interesting textures with this, which are good to cross fade in and out with more conventional sounds. You can also create some pretty strange tuned delays and reverbs, by sending noise through this, sampling that and using it with a convolution reverb. Using a stepfilter or gater as part of that process, pre resampling, will also add rhythm to the verb/delay. Using eq to emphasize particular notes or harmonics can also create some unique textures. Good idea to eq the verb particularly low and low mid quite agressively when using that last one as part of the process though, as, depending on the input, results can be unpredictable. For vocals, time stretched, or granulated vocals can give the best results. On one track, I sampled some rap vocals through Paul Stretch, then sent some midi to Pitchmap, put the vocals through it, instant horror soundtrack crossed with a next level Mellotron. So, what can I say? Awesome tool.I've only listed about a tenth of what you can do. Pitchmap combined with Paul Stretch, Portal, Sandman Pro, and Spec Ops, individually or in combination is whole Multiverse of sound in itself. It is expensive, even when you get it in a sale like I did. But worth every penny for usefullness. Nine out of ten for me. The only reason it's missing a point is because, for now at least, you can't use alternate tunings with stuff like scala files. But awesome sauce all the same.

please show how

[@samfisher01]

Also asking how. Really cant work out how to route it for this in ableton

[@adamsmith7058]

@@samfisher01 Just use it as an insert effect. You can use it on a send, but I prefer to sample whatever process I've done with it when using sends, and use them as an impulse response, since the latency is really high with it and running loads of sends with high latency can be a bit of a nightmare, even with good pdc. If you're reffering to sending midi notes to an audio effect... I've yet to try that in Ableton. Most of the time I use all the Max 4 Live devices I have with that. All my Pitchmap experiments were done in Reaper and FL studio, then either continued there or exported into Ableton. I'm still not that familar with Ableton compared to the other two. I'm sure there's a tutorial for that particular process out there. Since you bought it up, I think I'll have a look for something on that myself. If I find anything , ,before you do, I'll point you to it. As for everything else I was talking about, it would be pretty much impossible to record it to video on my present set up. A lot of the processes I do are for resampling, either as parts in an already existing tune, outside of the main session/arrangement, or to create samples for later use. As it is, cpu is already going through the roof with a lot of that stuff. Recording video on top of that is pretty much out the question until I get a more powerful audio comp. If you read the manual and have a good handle on most sound engineering/ sound design concepts, you should be able to work it out for yourself and do everything I mentioned and probably a lot more. The manual is not the best, but just slog your way through it and everything will be clear eventually. Good luck with whatever you're trying to do.

wow those sounds with resonators/grain delay before pitchmap are incredibly beautiful and soothing! great tut as always. would love to see your take on the phaseplant v2 changes from a creative perspective.

[@lobinski7423]

YES! Thank you so much for reviewing this one, been using it for about a month now, I absolutely love it but I need to take advantage of it's power more

[@shinyisshiny7780]

pitch map can be great as an auto tune... just need to adjust the threshold and feel + glide

[@jonathanwingmusic]

Really cool, just now discovering this as it's currently on sale so I think I'll have to pick it up. Sometimes on atonal percussion I will use EQs that have a keyboard with spectrum (like ProQ) to create resonant peaks which is either the root of the key or harmonizes with the music in some way. Especially helpful with anything like toms with a long decay, and you can get cool (and subtle) results on cymbals and rides with a really pingy bell sound - add some resonance within your key and those harmonic overtones will sympathize with the rest of the music and sit in the mix better. That said, it's a lot of work to set up especially if you wish to automate the frequency with the music. This seems like it will be way more useful for that and much more experimental creative stuff too. Thanks for the walkthrough!

this is dopeee. just bought it and your presets

this tutorial is super helpful, thanks!

[@vincentegarza-guerra158]

If you understand modes and how each scale correlates to a mode via the scale degree it allows you to stay in key and harmonically pleasing like c major to a minor a common switch

[@murland8288]

Great video! Feel like you missed that you can route external chords to pitchmap. My favorite way to use it.

[@g.o.9513]

:D

[@thisisZOA]

For some reason If I put Pitch map before LFO it dips the volume right at the very end of the sound and I don't know why, even if I turn off Pitchmap. Having to put it after the LFO atm

[@lettersandnumbers993]

thanks a lot! a must buy now on black friday. actually "reTune" by zplane does also the same. and those are both companies who make their own pitching algos. the z.plane ones are e.g. in Ableton's Live warping system. on pluginbotique pitchmaps' product page there is a comparison chart with melody & autotune and it says that pitchmap does no monophonic autotuning. that is probably the reason why you found that it does not work that great as vocal autotuner, but I was surprised by all other monophonic examples in your video, as they indeed do work in some kind of way, sometimes great.

I must be missing something here because this sounds like a way more expensive resonator/vocoder. Also Ovox is rad, and is only $80.

dont like this tool. too many artefacts... sounds like flanging, formant filtering.
