autochoir1free
The original choir plugin. Seven singers, free.
The original idea. Not a trial of autochoir2, but its own plugin: seven singers on an earlier algorithm, with simpler controls, still all on your own machine.

What it does
Turns any vocal into seven male and female singers.
Pitch, drift, formant and width across the whole choir.
Records into the plugin. ARA supported.
Playback adds no lag and almost no CPU.
A rougher, more robotic sound than autochoir2.
Free. No card, no account. It goes straight to your email.
Seven singers, or twenty.
The same take, dry in the middle. Slide left for autochoir1, right for autochoir2.
Want the twenty, and singers of your own? See autochoir2.
Before you download
- Which DAWs does it work in?
- Anything that loads a VST3 or an Audio Unit, which is nearly everything. In ARA hosts (Logic Pro 10.7 and later, Studio One, Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper, Cakewalk, Mixcraft, Samplitude, Waveform) autochoir reads the clip straight off the timeline, so there is nothing to record. In Ableton Live, FL Studio, Bitwig and other hosts without ARA, you arm the plugin and play the part through it once. It sounds identical either way.
- Does it work in Pro Tools?
- Not yet. Pro Tools only loads AAX, and an AAX plugin has to be signed by Avid and PACE before Pro Tools will open it. Until that is done, please do not buy it for Pro Tools.
- Can I use the output commercially?
- Yes, without restriction and without royalties. We train every model ourselves and the plugin says where each voice came from. You do not have to credit anyone.
- Does it need a GPU, or an internet connection?
- Neither. Every singer runs on your CPU, locally. Nothing you record is uploaded, and the plugin works on a machine that has never been online.
