FREE · NECTAR ALTERNATIVE · VST3 / AU
A free alternative to iZotope Nectar for rap, R&B and melodic vocals.
Nectar is a full vocal suite with an assistant that builds a chain for your voice. SCRAMBLE takes the same all-in-one idea in a simpler, faster direction: live tune, compressor, saturation, delay and reverb in one window, with presets made for rap, R&B and melodic vocals. Free to start.

One window, the whole vocal.
Sound
Presets grouped by sound, with MAIN and ADLIB versions.
Tune
Live pitch correction to the song's key, hard or natural.
Comp + saturation
Level, warmth, grit and air so the vocal sits on top of the beat.
Space
Delay throws and a plate or room reverb.
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.

Questions
Is SCRAMBLE as complete as Nectar?
No. Nectar has more modules and an assistant that analyses your voice. SCRAMBLE is the fast route for rap, R&B and melodic vocals: pick a sound, set the key, done, and it's free to start.
Can I use it on ad-libs?
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).
