TUNELOCK
Real-time tune, natural to hard.
One knob from invisible to the effect everyone knows.
00TUNELOCK
In tune.
Still human.
TUNELOCK pulls a clean lead vocal onto the notes of your key as you sing. Slow it down and nobody hears it work. Push it to zero and you get the hard, stepped sound of modern pop and rap. In between, vibrato and the little slides that make a voice sound like a person stay where they are.
01Hear it
Two singers.
Real TUNELOCK renders.
Every version is the same take at the same loudness. Press play, then switch while it plays to hear only the setting change.
02Retune speed
One knob.
Natural to hard.
The grey line is the voice as sung. The green line is what TUNELOCK sends out. Turn RETUNE SPEED down and the voice snaps to the notes; turn it up and it glides in like nothing happened.
03Key
Pick the key.
It knows the notes.
Set the key and scale and TUNELOCK only lands on notes that belong. Click a key to change the root; the lit keys are the notes the voice can land on.
04Throat + formant
Same notes.
Your voice.
FORMANT keeps the character of the voice while the pitch moves, so a corrected note still sounds like the singer. THROAT reshapes that character on purpose, from a little darker to a little brighter.
05Low latency
Track with it on.
Mix in full quality.
Low Latency gets the delay down to about 2 ms, so the singer hears the tuned voice while recording. Switch back for the full-quality mode when you mix; its latency is reported to your DAW.

07Questions
Questions.
Answers.
What is it made for?
A clean, single lead vocal. Choirs, stacked doubles and heavily effected takes are not what it is built for.
Can I record through it?
Yes. Turn on Low Latency (about 2 ms) while tracking, then switch back to the full-quality mode for the mix.
How do I get the hard, stepped sound?
Set RETUNE SPEED to zero and pick the key of the song.
Which systems does it run on?
Mac: VST3 and Audio Unit. Windows: VST3, 64-bit.
