Intonic Vocal

Pitch and timing editing for vocals. It finds every note in the take, shows each one at the pitch it was sung, and lets you tune, shape and move it.

Intonic Vocal with a sung take: notes at the pitch they were sung, the pitch line through them and the words beside — Original: the take as it was sung.

The same take tuned: every note on its semitone, the old place drawn dashed — Original: the take as it was sung.

Take the tour.

One take, start to finish: what it hears, what you can do with it.

Hello My Baby transcribed: notes, the pitch line and the words

Up close.

Straight from the plug-in, at its real size.

**Pitch, to the cent**Each note sits where it was sung, not on the nearest row. Ochre is sharp, slate is flat; the line under it is the voice itself.

**Hard tune in steps**Full Tune at instant speed: the line jumps from semitone to semitone, the old place drawn dashed.

**The words, heard**Lyrics in the language sung, a syllable under each note. Search the take for a line.

**Vibrato, air, tone, ring**Lanes under the roll for what makes a voice a voice, with the spectrum below.

**Five steps, top to bottom**Notes, Tune, Shape, Tone, Out: the panel reads like a recipe, and each step says what it did.

**Vibrato on its own**Down to flat with the scoop into the note kept, or add your own at any rate.

Measured, not guessed.

Note detection on singing it never trained on, against the leading note editor on the same takes. Higher is better.

Note F-score: notes found with the right start (within 50 ms) and pitch (within 50 cents), mir_eval. Sets: ATIC/Molina 2014 (38 takes) and the N20EMv2 test songs (18), clean and through a phone; none was used in training. The comparison editor was Melodyne 5.4.2 with its default note detection, on the same takes, measured by us in November 2026.

Works where you record.

With ARA it reads the whole clip at once. Where a DAW has none, it tells you the quickest way in.

Questions

Which DAWs give it the whole clip at once?

Cubase and Nuendo, Studio One and Studio Pro, REAPER and LUNA, through ARA 2: the notes are there without playing anything. In the others it hears the track as it plays, or takes a bounced or frozen copy.

Does it work in Logic Pro?

Yes, as an AU. Logic on Apple silicon runs plug-ins in a separate process where ARA cannot connect, so the quickest way in is Bounce in Place: the notes come in seconds.

And in Ableton Live?

Live 13 brings ARA 2; it is in beta now and we are testing Intonic Vocal with it. In Live 12, put Intonic Link, a Max for Live device, on the master once: every Intonic Vocal in the Set then gets its own track's clips without playing. Without Max for Live, Freeze the track.

Does it need the internet?

No. Every model, the note finder, the pitch tracker and the speech recogniser for the words, runs on your Mac.

Is there a Windows version?

It builds and runs on Windows and is in testing. macOS on Apple silicon comes first.

What will it cost?

The price comes with the beta.

The beta opens soon.

In testing now on macOS with Apple silicon. Windows follows.
