A perfectly tailored backing track to help your performance feel more natural and effortless.
Whether you’re a bass, soprano, or somewhere in between, the advanced pitch-shifter lets you explore exciting new possibilities, helping you perform both inside and outside of your comfort zone! Find new ways to express yourself by experimenting with new songs, different keys – creating performances that feel in line with your unique voice.
