Coinciding with this year’s NAMM show, Antares has announced new versions of its iconic vocal effects plugin – Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0, as well as its dynamic key and scale detection tool – Auto-Key 2.

Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0

Designed specifically for creative vocal production, Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0 combines the core features of Auto-Tune with the powerful ​EFX​ modular multi-effects rack to deliver a multitude of tools for crafting professional and ready-to-publish vocal tracks. The plug-in now features an improved user interface and dozens of fresh custom presets from innovative artists, including Aaron Dessner, Imogen Heap, Bon Iver, and Jess Jackson.

Pitch and formant shifting in real-time on Auto-Tune EFX+ are ideal for live performances, as well as lightning-fast audio editing in the recording studio. With the Auto-Motion pitch-shifting melodic pattern generator, you can pitch-shift your vocals and create new melodies in seconds without re-recording your track. Finally, the legendary Auto-Tune pitch correction effect is included.

Just add the Auto-Tune EFX+ plug-in to your vocal track and choose from over 100 vocal effects including a high-pass filter, audio mutation effect, realistic doubling, vocoder emulation, tube distortion, warmth enhancer, and much more. After applying the desired effect, you can use the Mix control knob to choose how to blend the natural vocal sound and the EFX+ Effect.

• Seven new effects (Breath, Reverb, Echo, Chorus, Compress, Low-pass, EQ)

Auto-Key 2

This automatic key, scale, and tempo detection plug-in easily identifies primary musical properties that assist music creators and speed their workflows.

However, it does much more than finding the correct key and scale for your music. Auto-Key detects the key and scale of a track outside of your session in seconds, which is ideal if you're a DJ looking for tracks in the same key. Furthermore, the pitch reference display and the Detune control will allow you to adjust the pitch reference based on the deviation from the standard A440.

The brand new automatic tempo detection joins automatic key and scale detection to easily identify primary musical properties that assist music creators and speed their workflows. Also new in Auto-Key 2 is the ability to drag and drop audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF) directly into a session. Other improvements include a resizable user interface with light and dark modes and automated key change tracking. Auto-Key 2 works seamlessly with all current editions of Auto-Tune.
