Dropix

Deep Vocal Pitcher

"Pitch and formant move independently, so an octave-down vocal stays a deep, dark voice — never a chipmunk, never a hollow, throaty boom. MIDI harmonies, Robot mode, a formant sequencer, a post-shift exciter, and an automatic ducking wash."

Dropix is a paid deep vocal pitcher built on a phase-vocoder engine that shifts pitch and vocal-tract character on separate faders, so you can drag any vocal down to the abyss and keep it loud, crisp, and cutting. Pitch down for dark leads, up for gremlin chants, or snap it to a scale for robot vocals — then thicken with drive, harmonies, and a ducked reverb-and-delay wash. Signed and notarized on macOS, code-signed on Windows. AU, VST3, CLAP, AAX and Standalone on macOS; VST3, CLAP and Standalone on Windows.

FEATURES

Pitch & Formant Engine

◆Phase-vocoder engine — STFT analysis/resynthesis with overlap-add reconstruction (2048-point FFT, 75% overlap)
◆Independent pitch and formant shift (−24 to +24 st each) — the vocal-tract envelope moves separately, so an octave-down vocal stays a deep, dark voice, never a chipmunk or a hollow, throaty boom
◆Cepstral formant tracking — the spectral envelope is extracted by cepstral liftering, decoupling formant from pitch on extreme shifts
◆Transient preservation — a spectral-flux detector momentarily bypasses phase-locking on consonant impacts so P/T/K stay crisp

Character & Tone

◆Tube Drive — wet-only tanh waveshaper, 2× oversampled and anti-aliased with zero added latency; restores harmonics lost in extreme pitching
◆Mud-Cutter — dynamic pitch-tracking high-pass whose cutoff follows the pitch so dropped-down energy never piles up into mud
◆Sub-Kill — fixed 40 Hz Linkwitz-Riley 4th-order high-pass that strips inaudible generated sub-bass to free headroom
◆Post-Shift Exciter — a parallel harmonic exciter on the wet path that regenerates a fresh 3–8 kHz harmonic series so the deep vocal cuts through the mix

Movement & Space

◆Formant Sequencer — an 8-step formant-offset pattern at 1/8 or 1/16 rate with a free-running clock that keeps wobbling even when the transport is stopped
◆Ducking Wash — a lush parallel reverb + delay stadium space fed from the dry input, internally sidechain-ducked so it pushes out of the way while the vocal sings and blooms back in the gaps — no host sidechain needed
◆Wash Size — sets the space size and time from a tight room to a long bloom
◆Rise — a latching build-up that ramps the whole mix into a wall-of-sound tension riser over 1–16 bars, then slams back to dry on release

MIDI & Harmony

◆Robot Mode — a true scale-quantizer that follows the lowest held MIDI note and snaps to the nearest in-scale note; 7 scales, 12 keys
◆MIDI Catch — play the vocal from the keyboard; the manual Pitch knob greys out with a "MIDI" badge
◆Harmony Matrix — 3 independent harmony voices pitched by held MIDI notes, formants locked to the original vocal, each with Volume and a Formant mini-knob
◆50 ms multiplicative portamento on every voice for smooth, zipper-free glides

Output & Workflow

◆Mix (equal-power parallel blend), Output (−24 to +6 dB), and Automatic Gain that removes louder-is-better bias
◆DEMON one-shot snaps to the signature Remi Blaze demon character in one click, built for video
◆Randomize, A/B snapshot toggle, and preset save/load via XML
◆Constant 2048-sample latency, 0 dBFS true-peak ceiling, NaN/Inf protection, and a delay-aligned dry path so Mix never comb-filters

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does Dropix cost?

Dropix is pay-what-you-want with a $9.99 floor, a one-time purchase. If you want to try the engine first, Dropix Raw gives you the essentials behind one knob.

Does Dropix run on Apple Silicon and Windows?

Yes. Dropix is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs, and it also ships as a 64-bit build for Windows 10 and 11.

Which formats and systems does Dropix support?

AU, VST3, CLAP, AAX and a Standalone app on macOS 15.0 or later, as a Universal Binary for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. VST3, CLAP and a Standalone app on Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. AAX ships on macOS only.

How do I install Dropix?

On macOS, double-click the .pkg installer and follow the prompts; it installs every format at once. On Windows, run the .exe installer. The macOS build is code-signed and notarized by Apple and the Windows build is Authenticode signed, so neither needs a security override. No dongle and no extra account.

How is Dropix different from Dropix Raw?

Dropix Raw is the one-knob version: the same engine behind a single macro, with the detailed controls hidden. Dropix gives you the full control set.
