Produce vocals from the future
Humanoid is a highly tweakable audio plugin for turning any vocal performance into its best synthetic self. With a brand new approach to vocal tuning and phase-vocoding, the plugin can radically transform singers of any style and ability.
Humanoid
Vocal tuning on steroids
If you want natural vocals, you’ve come to the wrong place. Humanoid is designed for extreme hard-tuning and takes this concept further with a wide range of innovative features.
Push the boundaries of what modern vocals sound like, while captivating your audience with the smooth and crisp sound of Humanoid’s FFT-based re-tuning engine.
Create new melodies and harmonies from any vocal
As an alternative to instant tuning, Humanoid’s pitch can be controlled manually via MIDI or automation. This allows you to use any vocal take as a seed for creating new, perfectly pitched, melodies, harmonies and chords.
Turn a lead vocal into a symphony by layering it with re-pitched variations of itself or use Humanoid as a futuristic vocoder.
“The new standard for voice manipulation. You guys hit a homerun here. Way ahead of its time. Humanoid is one of those plugins that becomes a "go to" while half a dozen similar ones become unused indefinitely. Features I've always wished I had as well as features I never knew I needed.”
Rob Kleiner
Grammy-Nominated Songwriter, Producer, and Engineer - Sia, James Blake, Billie Eilish, Britney Spears, David Guetta
“This thing is bananas!!!”
Tommy Lee
Mötley Crüe / Methods of Mayhem
"Humanoid opens a whole new world for creativity. The interface is also very user friendly which allows you to dial in the sound you're looking for with ease."
Dacota G
Grammy Award-Winning Mixing and Mastering Engineer - Childish Gambino, Usher, Diplo
“I opened a session, put Humanoid on a solo vocal track, and used the electric piano midi track to 'feed' notes to the vocal. Instant fire."
Jae Deal
Producer and Composer - Charli xcx, Elton John, Ty Dolla $ign, Ne-Yo
"I am more than impressed by this new take on pitch correction! It’s packed with features and has a beautiful, easy to use GUI that is on par with what I expect from your plugins. I can see myself being really creative with this!"
Smitty Soul
Songwriter and Producer - Nicki Minaj, Justin Timberlake, Akon
“Humanoid is hands down my favorite new plugin. I think they are promoting it as a vocal tool, but its power goes far beyond that. The danger is that I am 100% sure I will be over-using Humanoid on tons of projects. It’s addictive.”
Ronan Chris Murphy
Producer and Engineer - AURORA, King Crimson, GWAR, Ulver
“Humanoid is absolutely stunning! I love the interface and the range it offers, allowing for both subtle enhancements and creative experimentation. It's fantastic on vocals and equally impressive on other instruments. Baby Audio never fails to deliver.”
Dimitri Tikovoi
Grammy-Nominated Producer - Placebo, Purple Disco Machine, Blondie, The Horrors
“Humanoid blurs the line between authentic vocal performances and vocal synthesizers, transforming the way vocoders, real-time pitch manipulation, vocal chops and vocal synths are crafted. I was completely blown away by this!”
Matt Sim
Grammy Award-Winning Mix Engineer - Frank Ocean, Ryuichi Sakamoto, The Rolling Stones, Gucci Mane
Feed your voice waveforms
Morph vocals into synth waveforms to create unique timbres that merge human and machine qualities.
At its most extreme, Humanoid will turn a voice fully into a synthesizer, while moderate settings will add a subtle electronic shine to the vocal mix.
Choose from 64 factory wavetables - or import your own - for unbound sonic variation.
A powerhouse for deep tweaking
Humanoid lets you go as deep as you need to create your unique vocal sound. Click the ‘gear’ icons next to the knobs to unlock advanced calibration options.
Tweaking is optional, however, and with 281 presets crafted by leading sound designers, you can produce professional-grade robotic vocals right out of the box.

What are the creative use cases?
Extreme vocal tuner:
Keep the Transform dial mostly left and choose lower Robotify values to use Humanoid as an instant hard tuner. Set the key and scale to match your song and adjust the quantize control to shape the pitch remapping behavior.
Voice controlled synthesizer:
Turn the Transform dial all the way right to create a wavetable synth you can play with your voice. Vocal features will no longer be heard, but the spectral content from your singing will be morphed into a synthesis waveform.
Vocal transformer and effects platform:
Use dramatic formant shifting, aggressive robotify settings and different combinations of the onboard effects to make your voice unrecognizable.
Infinite harmony and melody generator:
Use Humanoid in MIDI mode to generate as many variations on a vocal line as you could ever need for harmonies, new melodies, backups and robotic choir effects. Enable the secondary synth interval and add a low or high octave for super thick double and triple-tracked harmonies.
How do I improve pitch detection?
If you're experiencing unreliable pitch tracking in Scale mode, here are some tips to fix it:
1. Ensure you've selected the right scale for your track. Major/minor scales work better than Chromatic as they include fewer notes
2. Set the Note Range in the Utility panel as narrow as possible, while still covering the range of your melody
3. Set Quantize to a lower value and increase Attack and Hold (moderately) in the Quantize calibration section
4. Increase the Gate and De-Ess parameters to remove noise and sibilances from your dry track
5. Increase the Smoothing parameter to soften the tuning behavior
The above should fix most issues. But if a particular spot is still giving you trouble, use automation to disable the re-tuning engine momentarily (parameter: "3. Scale Bypass").
Can I use Humanoid live / while recording?
Humanoid is primarily intended for production and mixing work. However, if you want to use it live, set the buffer size to 'Small' in the top right of the interface. This will result in low latency but with less reliable pitch tracking.
If you plan on using Humanoid live, we recommend trying the free trial first.
For production and mixing use, we recommend setting a 'Medium' or 'Large' buffer size.
Why can't I get a natural sound from Humanoid?
The purpose of Humanoid is to make vocals sound unnatural and robotic. To achieve this, the plugin re-synthesizes the voice. If you want a natural vocal sound, you should not use Humanoid. Or if you want just a touch of the effect, you can use the dry/wet mix knob in the Output calibration panel to dial-in a smaller amount of processing.
Does Humanoid use AI?
No. Humanoid is powered entirely by sophisticated DSP and no algorithms were trained or harmed in the process.
