Manipulator

Polyverse

Manipulator is a vocal processor that uses innovative granular and harmonic algorithms to dramatically alter the timbre and pitch of monophonic audio. Created in collaboration with Infected Mushroom, it enables everything from subtle pitch and harmonization effects to extreme sonic transformations, with real-time, zero-latency processing suitable for both studio and live performance.

Key Features

013 core algorithms: Pitch Shifter, Harmonic Shifter, and Grain Alternator
0210 different effects with endless combinations
03Up to 4 polyphonic voices for instant harmonies
04MIDI-driven pitch control with 5 modes (Off, Mono, Poly, M.Gated, P.Gated)
054 modulation slots supporting Meta Knob, ADSR, MIDI, Follower, and Sequencer sources
06Real-time, zero-latency processing for live performance
07Extensive effects section with Smear, Stereo, and Detune

Things to Try

  • 01Use Smooth Grains at 100% for the most natural pitch-shifted sound, or lower values for metallic, robot-like character
  • 02Mix a small amount of heavily manipulated audio with the original source using Dry/Wet to add presence and grit to lead vocals
  • 03Use Octave settings of -1 to -3 to fatten up thin voices, or below -4 to create strange and moving soundscapes
  • 04Modulate the Pitch parameter with an LFO and the Harmonics parameter with an ADSR, while a single Meta-knob controls the amount of both modulations
