The CREATE Bundle by Zynaptiq bundles six sound design powerhouses into one indispensable package. Synthesize, cross-filter, transform, vocode, warp, morph, sustain, formant-/pitch-/frequency-shift your audio, control pitch polyphonically, colorize your sounds, and add the lushest sounding smart reverb available today. Whether you are a sound designer, music producer, audio artist or film composer, the CREATE Bundle is for you.
Fusing the advanced pitch-mapping tech of the popular PITCHMAP plug-in with additional features and streamlining for real-time electronic music production, PITCHMAP::COLORS from Zynaptiq makes it easier than ever to conform your audio to your chosen key or scale, colorize bass and synth tracks, and turn atonal elements into harmonic content. With three modes of operation, SICK, NSANE, and WTF, you can transform audio with a single click, or get granular with a whole toolbox of tricks.
Choose keys, play chords you want your audio to match, or control everything via MIDI. New scale-shifting techniques let you quickly find the sweet spot within a scale and automate. Formant processing allows you to make pitch shifts and use Formant Gamma, a feature for creating unique exaggerated effects akin to modulating a filter back on itself. With Transient Bypass, you gain full control over the transient content of your audio signals, taking out or boosting transients. This plug-in is available in AU, AAX, VST2.4, and VST3 formats for 64-bit macOS and Windows computers.
MORPH 3 by Zynaptiq is a real-time plug-in for audio morphing—the sonic equivalent of one object slowly changing its shape to become a different object—for example, one face becoming another. Supercharged with a selection of up to 11 different morphing algorithms, a style transfer and file playback module, transient bypass options, a stunningly clean formant shifter, and a lush reverb that seems to extend sounds like highly revered vintage hardware boxes, MORPH 3 opens up a whole new universe of sounds to explore. Create seamless morphing transitions, new hybrid sounds that combine aspects of existing ones, physically impossible instruments, the furthest-out creature and robot voices, talkbox-esque effects, and other outrageously unique new sounds. Whether you're a sound designer for film or games looking for that signature sound, or a music producer or remix artist wanting to create new content from existing recordings—look no further, MORPH is for you.
ADAPTIVERB from Zynaptiq is not a traditional algorithmic or impulse-based reverb, rather it uses ray tracing, source separation, and advances in artificial intelligence to produce a reverb response with greater perceived depth, harmonic richness, and smooth tails, all without obscuring the source.
The reverb preserves the tonal definition and directness of a mix, while adding size, glue, and body, characteristics that are perfect for mixing and mastering applications alike. Additionally, the software automatically adapts to the input audio, conforming the reverb tail to the tonality of the input, or a user-defined set of notes.
With its advanced synthesis, cross-filtering, and reverb pitch-processing functions, the plug-in provides ambient artists, film composers, and sound designers with new creative options for making evolving drones, organic pads, lush ambient soundscapes, and more.
Available for download, Zynaptiq’s WORMHOLE is an effects processing plug-in that aims to bring warmth, clarity, and alias-free signal manipulation to your sound-design toolbox. As such, the software is equally at home on acoustic instruments, electric instruments, synthetic instruments, and even in post-production scenarios: Guitars can be made to shimmer and warble, pianos can be transformed into space-age celestas, and scary, movie-monster voices can be achieved in one plug-in instead of several.
WORMHOLE accomplishes its modulation through dedicated aspects of the plug-in, called Warp, Shift, Reverb, and Delay. Warp provides time-domain spectral warping effects largely free of unnatural artifacts—unless, of course, you want to introduce them yourself. Shift handles both pitch and frequency shifting, giving you the means to detune a sound, apply chorus, and more. It does this in a clean manner, low on artifacts and pitch-jumping. Two reverbs are provided, one for the dry signal and one for the processed sound. These can be combined to your liking. The delay can similarly effect wet and dry signals separately or together. For more descriptions of each effect, please see the features section.
This software, compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, requires an iLok account, which can be obtained for free. It is compatible with AU, AAX, VST 2, VST 3, and RTAS formats.
The Zynaptiq PITCHMAP 1.5 Real Time Polyphonic Pitch Processor Plug-In is a real time, pitch processor that allows you to change the pitch of individual elements of a mixed track. Using either PITCHMAP's interface or a MIDI keyboard, you can change the melodies and harmonies of a track, or adjust the pitch and key of an entire mix.
Using Zynaptiq's Mixed-Signal Audio Processing, or MAP technology, the PITCHMAP breaks a mixed track into its individual components, including its harmonics and transients, before giving you control over their pitch. With the track broken down, you can make changes ranging from subtle corrections in tuning to completely change the key or melodies in the performance or eliminating components altogether. PITCHMAP includes a layer of processing dedicated solely to vocal elements, called Natural Mode, which handles the nuances of this range for more realistic pitch adjustment.
PITCHMAP also allows you to change the overall sonic landscape of your tracks. With the Purify and Electrify parameters, you can alter how synthetic or realistic the changes to your track are, adding another level of sound design. The plug-in supports AU, VST 2.4, RTAS, AAX Native, and AudioSuite plug-in formats on Mac and VST 2.4, RTAS, AAX Native, and AudioSuite plug-in formats on PC.
Offering comprehensive and unique features, the Orange Vocoder IV from Zynaptic is an incredibly powerful stereo vocoder plug-in with 24 distinctive and customizable vocoding algorithms. Capable of generating an enormous gamut of sounds, from robot and creature voices to grooving, musical mutations, the Orange Vocoder IV is as powerful as it is easy to use, thanks to the intuitive visual workflow.
Along with its 24 vocoder algorithms, Orange Vocoder IV includes a potent polyphonic synthesizer with sophisticated modulation options, a flexible five-mode Pitch Quantizer with MIDI control, formant shifting, preset generation, grain morphing, and much more. The Dice function allows you to intelligently randomize parameters on a contextual and module-by-module basis, while Freezer provides an easy way to create sustain effects from your current timbre, allowing for indefinite sustain. Orange Vocoder IV is available in AAX, AU, VST2.4, and VST3 plug-in formats for macOS and Windows computers.

To keep workflow fast and easy, Orange Vocoder IVs modules are all hooked up in a semimodular routing architecture, clearly laid out in the Overview view. Using an interactive signal flow diagram as its interface, it makes coming up with new sounds a dream. Switch modules into the signal path and adjust their key parameters, load subpresets into them, adjust routing, mix, solo or mute the various processors, and much more. To dig deeper, click on a module's box to open the synth, vocoder, or effects pages.
Its two oscillators can use analog emulated waveforms as well as sampled vintage digital waveforms, and feature two flavors of ring modulation, hard sync, through-zero FM, and seven types of polyphonic distortion. They feed into a 6 to 24 dB low-pass filter with beautiful resonance. Comprehensive modulation options include:
- Mono- and polyphonic LFOs (audio-rate capable for the oscillators)
- AD envelopes
- Envelope followers and zero-crossing trackers
- Velocity and a 4-destination macro control
- Unison operation with up to 8 additional voices and DETUNE and CLUSTER modes
- Mono Legato with glide
- MIDI control and on-screen keyboard playing options
Enforce and Polyforce use a wavetable-inspired approach and feature zero-latency processing for live performances. The pitch quantizer is extremely easy to use—just switch it on and choose the algorithm, it will then be controlled by the same notes as the synth including mono legato and glide.
You can exclude any module from the dice roll, select whether you want to use musical or SFX-type sounds (or both), and whether to use the factory subpresets or your own (or both). The Dice are context-aware, so if you're in the synth view, only the synth will be rolled.
