Overview

Vocal tuning simplified
bx_crispytuner is probably the easiest-to-use vocal tuner available. But underneath its simple exterior are a whole range of capabilities for additional fine tuning. From subtle pitch correction to flamboyant tuning effects, bx_crispytuner does everything you need it to with minimal effort. 

Easy enough for a total beginner, flexible enough for a seasoned pro
If you’re new to tuning, choose the incredibly straightforward two-step “Simple” mode to get industry-standard tuning without any fuss. Or go deeper with “Advanced” and “Graphical” modes, to draw in changes, and adjust additional parameters including formant, scale transposition and more.

The bx_scalefinder makes it even easier
Vocal tuning works by measuring the pitch of your voice and then correcting it in relation to the closest notes in a set scale. Even those without any knowledge of music theory can use the bx_scalefinder to automatically detect the scale their song is using, and start tuning with the bx_crispytuner straight away. 

As few as two steps and you’re done
Once you’ve selected your scale manually or using bx_scalefinder, all you need to do with Simple is select the tuning strength with the dial that goes from “Subtle” to “Extreme”. Instantly dial in subtle and transparent correction or far out tuning effects.

Tune vocals with no latency
Tuning vocals after the fact is one thing. But there are times you’ll want to correct pitch in live settings, or let a singer “play” with the tuner by enabling it on the way in. Thanks to the included “Live” mode, bx_crispytuner offers instant tuning with no latency, whether in the studio or on stage.

Great sounding tuning with the option to go deep
The bx_crispytuner has a simple exterior but it offers you as much control as some of the most complex tuners available, when you need it; The Advanced mode adds on further refinements such as transition speed, tightness, correction amount, formant preservation, pitch detection range, and more. The Graphical mode allows you to draw in minute changes on a note-by-note basis, controlling vibrato, tuning pre delay, note target and more.
