Humanoid Black Friday Deal 2026: $49, 62% off

The Humanoid Black Friday deal takes 62% off this vocal pitch corrector and voice manipulator, which brings it to $49 until Dec 9, 2026.

Humanoid is a plugin built for hard-tuning and radical vocal processing. The maker says it is not for natural vocals. It is aimed at robotic, synthetic voices from any singing performance.

Under the hood, an FFT-based re-tuning engine analyzes the incoming audio in the spectral domain. The maker describes the result as smooth and crisp.

What does the Humanoid plugin do?

There are two vocal transformers in the signal chain. The first is the hard-tuning engine, and the second is a wavetable synth that follows the pitch of the incoming voice and re-synthesizes it.

The Transform knob morphs between the two. Shape and stretch manipulate the wavetable, while note shift and octave fatten and shift the pitch.

Choose from 64 factory wavetables or import your own. At moderate settings you get a light electronic shine on the vocal. At the extreme, the voice becomes a synthesizer.

How do you control the pitch?

The Pitch section has three modes:

• Scale: corrects notes in realtime to a chosen musical key
• Note: set the pitch manually on the keyboard display or via automation
• MIDI: drive the pitch from a MIDI track or controller

Manual and MIDI control turn any vocal take into a seed for new melodies, harmonies or chords. You can layer a lead with re-pitched copies of itself, or use Humanoid as a futuristic vocoder. A preset lock lets you browse presets without changing the pitch settings.

What else is on board?

• Filter: high-pass, low-pass and a sweepable mid band that boosts or cuts. It acts on the spectral content from the analysis phase, so it can make cuts sharper than a traditional filter
• Effects: Widen, Warble (spectral vibrato) and Freeze, a stutter that syncs to BPM or can be programmed freely
• Utility: note range limiting to improve pitch detection, a de-esser, a gate for bleed and background noise, and smoothing to soften harsh harmonics
• Sharpen: a clearer, sharper vocal balance to cut through the mix, with brightness under the calibration icon
• 180 presets from sound designers, covering classic hard-tuning to heavy vocal manipulation

The gear icons next to the knobs open advanced calibration options. Tweaking is optional.

Formats and system requirements

Humanoid comes as VST, VST3, AU and AAX (64-bit). It runs on macOS 10.11 and up, including native Apple Silicon M1/M2, and on Windows 10 and newer.

The maker says it works in all major DAWs, including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper and Reason.

The Buffer setting trades latency for tracking. Low analyzes a smaller window for low latency, while Medium and High give better pitch tracking with more latency. The interface resizes by dragging its bottom right corner.
