Auto Shift

Ableton

Where to get itIncluded with Ableton Live. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.ableton.com

Auto Shift is a real-time pitch tracking and correction device designed primarily for transforming vocals, though it works with any monophonic audio signal. It combines pitch correction, vibrato, pitch shifting, and formant shifting in a single plugin, with the added capability to use MIDI notes from a separate track for correction or to follow a defined scale. The device includes a built-in LFO for modulating pitch, formants, volume, and panning over time.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Real-time pitch tracking and correction with scale-based or MIDI-based targeting
02Three pitch range toggles (High, Mid, Bass) to optimize pitch estimation quality
03Nine LFO waveforms (Sine, Triangle, Triangle 8, Triangle 16, Saw Up, Saw Down, Rectangle, Random, Random S&H)
04Pitch correction with adjustable Correction Strength and Smoothing Time (0-200 ms)
05Formant shifting (-100% to 100%) with independent Formant Follow control
06Three vibrato controls: Amount (0-200 cents), Rate (2-15 Hz), and Fade In time
07MIDI input with Mono (single voice with Glide) and Poly (up to 8 voices) modes
08Four modulation targets (Pitch, Formant, Volume, Pan) via LFO or MIDI/MPE data with six modulation sources

Things to Try

  • 01Enable Smooth toggle and set Smoothing Time to 50-100 ms to retain natural vibrato while pitch correcting
  • 02Set Dry/Wet slider to 50% to create a doubler effect by equally balancing original and corrected signals
  • 03Use Poly voice mode with Voice Count set to 8 and apply LFO modulation to Pitch for layered harmonic effects
  • 04Enable Natural Vibrato toggle to produce realistic variations in the vibrato's speed and depth
