Twenty vocal modules on one screen — tuning, harmony, character and space, on fifty sampler pads.
Instant download · 14-day refund · Terms · Privacy
CP-404 is the whole vocal chain in one window. Twenty modules in a fixed order, from gate and de-ess through hard tune, harmony and vocoder, out into stutter, ducking delay and reverb. Click a module tile and it opens as an overlay sized to its own controls — nothing is buried three menus deep.
Presets live on a 5 × 10 pad grid with bank buttons, which is the sampler the name nods at. Hit a pad, hear a finished vocal.
Two presets, each played dry and then swept in, so you can hear what it does rather than watch knobs move. The actual plugin window — not a mock-up, not a slideshow.
In order, left to right across the rail — plus a master strip with in, out, blend and tape-stop.
Retunes to a scale with a TD-PSOLA shifter — the grains are unmodified snippets of your own signal, so formants ride along instead of turning into a chipmunk. Hard tune pulls a 452 Hz note to 440.
Extra voices off the same pitch analysis: in-key harmonies, octaves up or down, and a subtle double for thickness.
The classic talking-synth voice, built on the same analysis, with level tracking so it doesn't run away.
Vinyl surface noise and crackle, gated to your input envelope so digital silence stays silent.
A ducking delay — repeats step back while you're singing and fill in the gaps when you stop.
An FFT-accelerated YIN tracker (0.09 cents) feeding a TD-PSOLA shifter: every shift ratio lands inside 0.74 cents, octave-up stability 0.07 cents.
Click pitch classes to say which notes are legal, and watch the note you're singing light up on the keys as you sing it.
Two full skins, with a true-geography chart of the Hawaiian chain laid across the water along the bottom.
Aspect locked, and the size you choose is remembered next time it loads.
The same take, before and after. Hit play, then flip between the raw signal and the plugin doing its thing — no reload, no gap.
Five banks of ten pads.
Save your own alongside them — they land in your user folder and survive updates.
On Mac, unzip and drop the .component into
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and the .vst3 into
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3. On Windows, copy the .vst3 into
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. Then rescan in your DAW and it appears
under Award Audio Tools. A step-by-step INSTALL.txt is in the zip.
Yes — CP-404 installs as a VST3 on both Mac and Windows. On Mac you also get an Audio Unit (AU) and a Standalone app in the same download. There is no VST2 build and no AAX build, so CP-404 does not load in Pro Tools.
Anything that hosts VST3 or Audio Units — Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig, GarageBand and Luna are all covered. Logic and GarageBand use the AU; the rest use the VST3. There's also a Standalone app on Mac if you just want to plug in and play without opening a DAW.
Both. The Mac build is a Universal binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1 through M4) and Intel, on macOS 10.15 or newer, and it's Developer-ID signed and notarised by Apple, so there's no Gatekeeper warning. The Windows build is 64-bit VST3 for Windows 10 or newer. One purchase covers both — the zip contains the Mac and Windows builds together.
CP-404 ships with 50 factory presets, grouped into 5 categories. You can save your own alongside them, and they travel with the project the same way any other plugin state does.
No. $39 a one-off purchase with no subscription, no iLok and no dongle — you download it straight after checkout, updates are free, and the licence covers the computers you own. Whatever you make with it is entirely yours.
