v1.0.0-beta — What's new ▾
  • Zero retune-time pitch snap — the input pitch jumps onto the nearest scale note with no glide (the robotic vocal snap)
  • Monophonic pitch tracker (hysteretic zero-crossing, ~70–1100 Hz) reads one fundamental; best on a clean solo vocal or lead
  • KEY + SCALE (Major / Minor / Chromatic) define the note grid; the snap is always to the nearest allowed note
  • AMOUNT drags the pitch toward the note (1.0 = full hard snap, lower = looser correction)
  • Crossfaded granular delay-line shifter (PSOLA-lite) does the repitch — character effect, expect warble/smear on unstable or polyphonic input
  • MIX is a dry/wet blend; MIX 0 is a hard bypass → bit-exact dry

Requirements

  • macOS 13 Ventura or later
  • Apple Silicon (arm64) — Intel / Windows coming later
  • ✅ Standalone app (ZERO.app) — gliding lead test tone
  • ✅ AU (Audio Unit v3) — GarageBand, Logic Pro, REAPER, Ableton Live

Install

  • AU → ~/Applications (open ZERO.app once to register)
