FREE · VOCAL CHAIN PLUGIN · VST3 / AU
A free vocal chain plugin. Tune to reverb in one window.
Most vocal chains are five plugins deep before you hear anything. SCRAMBLE's VOCALS page is the whole chain in one window: live tune, compressor, saturation, delay and reverb, laid out in the order you'd mix. Pick a sound, set the key, and the vocal comes out mixed.
Every stage, in order.
1. Sound
Vocal chain presets grouped by sound, with MAIN and ADLIB versions so hooks and ad-libs sit differently.
2. Key + live tune
Pick the key and scale or detect it, then set speed and humanize. FREEZE + EDIT fixes single notes.
3. Compressor + saturation
Even out the level and add tape warmth, grit and air so the vocal sits on top of the beat.
4. Delay + reverb
Ping-pong or tape delay throws and a plate or room, with SPACE to push it all back or pull it dry.
Flip to BEAT FX and it's a Rubik's cube: 43 quintillion positions, each a different FX chain for drums, 808s, loops and the master bus.
How to use it.
- Put SCRAMBLE on your vocal and open the VOCALS page.
- Pick a sound (MAIN for leads, ADLIB for ad-libs) and set the key.
- Blend with MIX, and use A/B DRY to check you made it better.

Questions
Is it really a whole vocal chain for free?
Yes. The free version runs the full chain (tune, compressor, saturation, delay, reverb) through 10 vocal presets, with live tune you can set yourself. The Bundle unlocks the knobs on every stage and 100 presets.
Does it replace my mixing engineer?
No. It gets a rough vocal sounding finished fast, which is great for writing, demos and a lot of releases. A good engineer still goes further on a big record.
Can I use it on ad-libs and backing vocals?
Yes. Switch MAIN to ADLIB for versions made for ad-libs, which sit further back in the mix.
What's free and what's in the Bundle?
Free: the whole VOCALS page with live tune (key, scale, speed, humanize), key detection, FREEZE + EDIT and 10 full vocal chain presets, plus all 8 FX modes and 237 presets. The $49 Bundle lets you dial every knob in the chain (compressor, saturation, delay, reverb, EQ, width, layers) and adds 100 vocal presets and 2,800 presets in total.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. Mac gets VST3 and AU (Apple Silicon and Intel). Windows gets VST3 plus a standalone app. It loads in FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro and other DAWs. Not Pro Tools yet (no AAX).
