Humanoid, the vocal effects plugin from Baby Audio, combines hard-tuning pitch correction with a wavetable synthesizer for robotic and synthetic voice textures, and a keygen or serial key is the string most often typed beside the name.

What Humanoid does
The plugin analyzes incoming audio in the spectral domain, and a buffer setting controls how that analysis is done. A pitch section sets how the hard-tuning engine corrects the signal, and its Scale mode snaps notes to a chosen scale. A second vocal transformer is a wavetable synthesizer that follows the pitch of the incoming signal, and 64 factory wavetables are included with the option to import a custom set. A transform knob morphs between re-synthesized vocals and hard-tuned robotic vocals. Layered harmonies can be built from any vocal, and note shift and octave parameters fatten the shifted pitch.
Humanoid ships with 180 presets from several sound designers, ranging from classic hard-tuning to more experimental results. The settings menu handles tooltips, interface color and the quick-start guide.
Key features
- Hard-tuning pitch engine. The pitch section sets how incoming audio is corrected, and Scale mode snaps the voice to a selected scale for instant hard-tuned output.
- Wavetable synthesizer. A second vocal transformer follows the pitch of the incoming signal and drives a wavetable engine with 64 factory wavetables and room for user imports.
- Transform knob. The transform control morphs between re-synthesized vocals and robotic hard-tuned vocals, so the result can move gradually from natural to synthetic.
- Harmony and layering. Pitch-controlled variations can be created from any vocal and layered to turn a lead line into a stacked harmony.
- Filter and effects. A filter section offers quick tone shaping, and an effects section includes a widen control that alters the stereo image of the voice.
- Utility and calibration. A sharpen control enhances the vocal signal for a clearer balance in the mix, and the gear icons beside the knobs open advanced calibration options.
Compatibility
