Independent of tempo

Change key by up to ±12 semitones while the speed stays identical.

Separate Speed control

Need to change tempo too? Speed is a separate slider — mix and match freely.

Match your vocal range

Transpose a backing track to a key you can actually sing.

Change Pitch Without Changing Speed

A pitch shifter transposes audio to a different key while keeping the tempo unchanged — so a song stays the same length and speed, just higher or lower. This is essential for matching a backing track to your vocal range, transposing an instrument part, or creating harmony ideas.

DefyAudio decouples pitch from speed: the Pitch slider shifts the key in semitones without touching tempo, while a separate Speed control changes tempo without touching pitch. Use either independently, or both together.
