Same take, two ways

Hear it before you buy it.

Switch between the vocal before A1VP and with A1VP while it plays. Same 18 seconds, same loudness, so the difference you hear is the processing and not the volume.

Both versions are matched to -16 LUFS. The vocal in both was already pitch-corrected with a third-party autotune plugin (not A1VP), so what you hear added is A1VP's dynamics, tone, space and effects.

How it works

Three steps. No chain to build.

LOAD

Drop it on a vocal track

One plugin replaces the compressor, de-esser, EQ, reverb, delay and effects you would normally stack. Open it and you see every module at once.

PICK

Start from one of 45 presets

Lead vocal, rap, R&B, pop, hooks, ad-libs, big spaces and effects. Presets are named for the sound, so you can audition by ear.

TWEAK

Change what the song needs

Turn modules on, solo them, trim them. Hover any control for a plain-language tip. Save your own presets when you land on a sound.

What's inside

Six jobs, one window.

Signal flows Dynamics, Tone, Pitch/Formant, Space, then SFX. Every module has its own on, solo and trim.

Tap a module on the picture, or pick one above.

Dynamics

Keep every word audible.

Five compressor characters, a colour control for saturation, a de-esser you can aim at the harsh frequency, and a gate. Gain reduction meters show what it is doing.

Tone

Shape the sound and watch it move.

Low, mid and high bands plus Air, a live spectrum analyser behind the curve, and high and low cut. Five voicings change how the EQ behaves.

Space

Depth that gets out of the way.

Eleven reverb and delay spaces with tempo-synced delay, ping-pong, and ducking so the effects get out of the way while the vocal is singing.

DARK HALLPLATECHAMBERINFINIVERBMASSIVEREVERB 0.3 to 8 s

SFX

Stack effects without a plugin pile.

Stack up to four of twenty effects, plus an enhancer. Put them before or after the space, depending on whether you want them reverbed.

Pitch / Formant

Doubles and character, not tuning.

Shift pitch and formant independently, add a second harmony voice, or go to creature and robot. This is for effects and doubles, not tuning a vocal to a key.

Ride + ceiling

Even and loud without clipping.

A built-in vocal rider evens out word-to-word level. An output ceiling at -1 dBFS sits after the output knob, so turning up gets louder without clipping.

SFX layers

Stack effects, reorder them, mute any layer.

Each layer holds one of twenty effects with its own amount. Move layers up or down, switch a layer off with its red dot, and add up to four.

  • Doubler, chorus, widener, telephone, tape and more
  • Enhancer knob adds air on top
  • SPC POST or FLT POST puts the effects after the space or before it

Pitch / Formant

Move pitch and formant together or apart.

Here it is in Harmony: two voices at their own pitch, with width, formant and mix. The pad on the right drags pitch and formant at the same time.

Good to know before you buy

Straight answers.

Windows only, VST3 only

Windows 10/11, 64-bit. There is no Mac, AU or AAX version.

Latency is about 66 ms

Your DAW compensates for it automatically while you mix. For recording through it, press LOW LATENCY: it drops to 0 ms and switches Pitch / Formant off. Everything else keeps running.

Free demo at launch

A free demo build is coming with the launch. It is the full plugin, and the audio dips briefly every 45 seconds until you activate a key.

It is not an auto-tuner

Pitch / Formant is for shifting, doubling and effects. For key-based pitch correction I am building a separate plugin.

Who makes it

Made and supported by one producer.

A1VP is built by Mason at FormWorks Designs in Peterborough, Ontario, for FL Studio vocals. Support email goes to hello@formworksdesigns.com and I read it myself.

FAQ

Questions before you buy.

What do I get when I buy?

A1VP.vst3, a licence key by email, a readme, the licence and refund terms, and free updates for the 1.x version line. Major new versions get discounted upgrade pricing.

How does activation work?

Paste the key into the activation window the first time you open A1VP. It needs the internet once, then works offline. One key activates one computer, and every DAW on that computer is covered.

Can I buy it as a gift?

Yes. Buy it with your own email, then pass the download and the licence key from your receipt to the person you are gifting it to. The key works for whoever activates it first, on one computer. Please send it before it has been activated.

I got a new computer. What now?

Email support with your order number and the key is reset so you can activate the new machine.

Is there a refund?

Yes. For 14 days after you buy, if A1VP will not load or does not work correctly on a supported Windows system and we cannot fix it, you get a full refund. Email support with your order number, Windows version, DAW and a description of the problem. Your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.

Why is the price $44.95 now and $69.99 later?

A1VP is new and has no track record yet. The first 1,000 copies are $44.95. After that the price moves to $69.99. Early buyers keep their licence and the free 1.x updates.

Does it work in my DAW?

A1VP is a standard 64-bit VST3 plugin for Windows. If your host loads VST3 plugins it should load A1VP. When the free demo is out, use it to check on your own setup before you buy.

Are the presets copies of other artists' vocal chains?

No. Presets are named for the sound they make, like Dark Hall Ballad or Wide Chorus Hook.

How do I reach support?

Email hello@formworksdesigns.com with your Windows version, DAW and a description or screenshot.

Ready when your vocal is.

A1VP for Windows (VST3). $44.95 for the first 1,000 copies, then $69.99. 14-day refund if it won't work on your PC.
