Waves Vocal Bender

Real-Time Voice Manipulation.

Manipulate your vocals in real time for the most popular sounds in hip hop, pop, R&B and electronic genres. With zero latency and two simple pitch and formant controls, you can easily track, mix and perform hit-sounding vocals instantly.

Vocal Bender is the fastest and simplest way to getting “that sound.” Yes, you know the sound. Travis Scott’s deep-voiced ad-libs. Billie Eilish’s other-worldly vocal doubles. Frank Ocean’s pitch- and formant-shifted lead vocals. The high-pitched vocal topline in every EDM drop. Vocal Bender will quickly twist your vocals for the sounds of modern pop, hip hop, R&B, electronic and many other genres.

Real-Time Vocals

Vocal Bender works in real time, with zero latency. We made this tool for musicians and producers to get your ideas down quickly; there’s simply no time to waste when working creatively. Vocal Bender allows you to track through the plugin, so you can hear the effect on your voice in real time.

You can even use Vocal Bender live on stage for performances. Pull it up on your live DAW session and manipulate your concert vocal sound, without latency, as subtly or extremely as you’d like.

Two Knob Solution

We created Vocal Bender to get you results, fast. There’s no routing, tweaking, chopping or complicating required. Simply get your hands on the two knobs, PITCH and FORMANT, and you’ll have hit-sounding vocals in seconds.

Don’t be mistaken, Vocal Bender is not a one-trick pony. With these two controls, and the under-the-hood modulation features, the vocal FX palette you can create is practically limitless. The plugin also has a ‘flatten’ feature to lock into a single pitch and sound robotic.

Make your vocals move between genders, change age, sound miniature or appear gigantic. On the subtle side, simply add soft harmonies, vibrato and vocal doubling for thickness.

Modulate for Signature Vocals

Open up Vocal Bender’s trunk to access musical modulation features. With a few clicks you’ll add vibrato, pitch drops, sequenced pitching, and more endless possibilities to the two knobs. These will bring a musicality and movement to your sound, and help you differentiate your style. Start bending your vocals.
