Saint Mike DSP PitchCure - Vocal Pitch Corrector

 

Saint Mike DSP

PitchCure - Vocal Pitch Corrector

Most vocal tuners make you choose. You can sound perfectly in tune, or you can sound human. PitchCure gives you both.

It is a high-end vocal tuner. Some plugins turn real singing into robot sounds. PitchCure does not do this. It tracks the voice and keeps the real feeling safe. Words stay crisp. Breaths stay natural. The tuning feels subtle and natural.

It is built for fast work. You do not have to draw lines on a screen. Find your key with one click. Pick your voice range. Then, turn the main knobs.

Use Speed to fix bad notes. Turn up Humanize to keep the song's emotion. Use Transition for smooth slides between notes. Use the Color knob to add rich tone.

You might want hidden tuning for a quiet song. You might want fast tracking in the vocal booth. Or, you might want vocals locked to your MIDI chords. PitchCure gives you great pitch that still sounds human.

Features:

Transparent Tuning: Artifact-free, time-domain pitch shifting without metallic phase-smearing.

Vibrato Protection: The Humanize engine actively maps and preserves natural vibrato and emotional expression.

Fluid Transitions: Control the glide between notes—from instant hard-snaps to smooth, natural portamento.

Auto Key & Custom Scales: One-click key detection, or build your own scales using the interactive Edit Notes matrix.

MIDI Target: Override the scale and force the vocal to follow the exact chords or melodies you play on your keyboard.

One-Knob Color EQ: A built-in tilt EQ to instantly add chest warmth (Dark) or brilliant air (Bright).

Live Tracking Ready: Near-zero latency in Real Time mode, or switch to HQ for maximum processing quality during mixdown.

Ultra-Light CPU: Highly optimized to run at low CPU, easily handling massive multi-vocal sessions.

U-he Zebra 3: the final beta of the modular Synthesizer plugin is out now

 

U-he Zebra 3, the long-awaited successor of the Zebra 2 modular Synthesizer plugin is now ready for test in public beta

Since mid-December 2025, u-he Zebra 3 has been in public beta. That was a wonderful Christmas present from Santa Urs. Now, four months later, it’s April, and the fine-tuning of Zebra 3 has progressed significantly.

So much so that the u-he developers have now released the final beta with the build 21625.

Final Beta

The final beta is now available for download on the KVR forum. It includes all the features planned for the 3.0 release. However, one thing has changed significantly: Zebra 3 now has its final UI.

U-he says the new vector-based UI offers a vastly decluttered interface, a more consistent parameter layout, new color-coded modulation and modules, a modmatrix, and more.

I actually really liked the Zebra 3 beta UI. The leap from that to the new one is quite big. It takes some getting used to.

According to the developers, the new version can be further customized to better fit your workflow. And they ask the users to spend a week with the new one before asking for the old one back.

In case you don’t like it, I’m sure Plugmon, a UI designer, will offer alternative skins for it in the future. Alongside the new UI, it comes with feature improvements and numerous bug fixes. The final beta includes over 1,200 polished factory presets.

The testing will be finished soon. This is the last beta to accept the beta license card, which expires in July 2026. At the same time, they announced a deal for everyone who doesn’t yet have a Zebra 3 license.

Besides the 30€ for existing Zebra 2 users and a free update for Zebra HZ users, they offer Zebra 3 at a special introductory price of 179€ instead of 249€. This offer is for new users and Zebra Legacy users.

Zebra 3 is on the home stretch. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. Many had long doubted that this moment would ever come. A great moment after so long waiting and testing.
