We need a better transposer please. The current one has tons of digital artifacts, even when transposing only a half step. Transposing up is even worse. It’s unusable for anything clean. Please give us a better transposer.

This request is recent (August 2025), check here: [image] Multivoicer, Pitch Shifter, Transposer Feature Requests I wish the quad cortex’s pitch modulation effects sounded perfect and without artifacts.

It is, and thank you for pointing it out. I already gave my vote to it. However, is that post clear enough as a request, in order to be considered? Its main concern seems to be more about additional modes for the pitch shifters, rather than an improvement on the existing algorithm. I’m not sure if…

I agree that the original post is not clear enough but, transpose appears to have the most discussion (arguments) out of the three effects mentioned in that thread.

There is no perfect transpose effect. It is very processor intensive to pitch in real time and there are trade-offs.The reality is that artefacts are a lot more noticeable on clean sounds and complex chords display all the faults. Used for distorted parts in the right way and nobody will notice live…

Well that’s what these forums are for, aren’t they? To request new features? As a QC user, I’m in need of a better transposer. I don’t do metal, my transposing needs are for clean and currently the QC’s doesn’t cut it. I’m glad it works for you with distortion, I’m well aware that it does, but we a…

Poly Capo is easily the best polyphonic pitch shifter. Wish Neural would actually make a Transpose that works. Anyone who says there aren’t weird glitch/artifacts with Transpose just doesn’t know what to listen for.

Poly Capo has less artifacts, that’s true. But it glitches more in my experience. And also feels and sounds worse. Hypertune (plugin by Polychrome DSP) is the only pitch shifter / transposer I am aware of that really improves on the QC. Every other pitch effect always has “side effects”. Fractal i…

It would be wrong of me to assume that QC transpose suits everyone and I’m not saying no to development. If they could come up with something like the Kemper polyphonic transpose, I’m sure that would work for Vocalead’s type of use. It is just that it would inevitably introduce more latency, so let’…

[image] Karlic: It would be wrong to assume that QC transpose suits everyone and I’m not saying no to development. Absolutely. If this is in response to my comment, I’d just like to clarify that I am not against this feature request. I just find it weird to read comments about literally every…

Same thoughts here. Even the non-realtime pitch-shifting in DAWs or other apps has lots of artifacts sometimes, so I always wonder if there is a perfect realtime solution. It seems the opinions vary a lot on this topic.
