Xponaut has released Voice Tweaker v4.0.2, sporting an all new analysis and synthesis engine with lower CPU utilization and availability on both Windows and Mac OS X as a VST plug-in (the Audio Unit version will be available soon).
Voice Tweaker is a pitch shifter with the ability to transpose the pitch of a monophonic signal (a voice or an instrument) up to two octaves, up or down. It does this without creating chipmunk or monster voices, unless you want to, because Voice Tweaker can also transpose the formant of the signal an equal amount of two octaves up or down. It also includes a fully fledged pitch correction section with MIDI control and an advanced modulation matrix.
