music production knowledge

The Little AlterBoy is a monophonic voice manipulator plug-in that manipulates vocal formats and pitch shifting. With this plug-in, you can hard tune fx in vocal mode with the sound quality of a tube drive. Soundtoys has created this exiting tool for you to create and enhance dramatic voice alteration with a huge range of transformations from one simple and easy to use plug-in unit. With the Little AlterBoy, you can change the pitch of your voice, change the singer’s voice gender with super special format-shifting and even pitch it to find some amazing robotic sounds.

When connecting the Little AlterBoy via MIDI you can control the vocal melody and create fantastic effects to sound like a vocoder. Two of the main features that are included in this plug-in are the popular pitch quantizer for a hard tune effect and the also included classic tube saturation that is borrowed from the Decapitator plug-in to add edge, warmth and intensive vocal creations. With your perfected vocal creations you can use MIDI to connect and control the pitch and harmony effects with your DAW.

Little AlterBoy comes with a history in the making. Since the beginning, back in the ProTools TDM years, the founders and teams in Soundtoys, before Waves Mechanics, created the famous Eventide H3000 which is one of the most iconic pitch shifters. In the list of other high-quality pitch-based effects, we find PurePitch and the acclaimed PitchDoctor and SoundBlender. Little AlterBoy is a distilled result of decades in vocal tools research with a grand range of popular vocal effects to give you the freedom you need to create that signature sound of yours.

It is indeed one of the most powerful voice effect plug-ins out there. If you are into music production and are looking to enhance and harmonic voices, then this tool is a good choice in your production library.
