Devious Machines Pitch Monster V1.3.6 -win- -

Take a weak kick drum. Copy it to a second track. Insert Pitch Monster. Drop the pitch by -24st. Keep only Voice 1 active. Turn the formant down completely (-12). Mix in 100% wet. Your flabby kick now has a 40Hz sub-tone that shakes the room.

Load a saw wave synth. Use Pitch Monster after your synth. Set two voices: Voice A: +19st (Tritone), Voice B: -19st. Modulate the pitch of Voice A with a slow triangle LFO. You get a moving, dissonant neuro-bass without complex matrix routing in your synth.

Open Pitch Monster and you are greeted by six vertical channels. You can treat each as a separate pitch shifter. For example: Devious Machines Pitch Monster v1.3.6 -WiN-

This creates a "supergroup" chorus effect impossible to achieve with standard unison detune.

Load a solo vocal. Set voices 1, 2, and 3 to +12st, 0st, and -12st. Turn the formant down on the +12 version (makes it sound like a child) and up on the -12 version (deep bass voice). Pan them L-C-R. Add reverb. One singer becomes a choir. Take a weak kick drum

In this deep-dive, we will explore the features of version 1.3.6 for Windows, how it stands against the competition, installation notes, and creative applications for your next track.
