RysUpShift interface
Built for pro records

Up an octave with the formants unchanged. Shift formants with pitch locked. Anything is possible.

Light. Dark. Drag to compare.

A UI that adapts to your studio.

Every RysUp plugin ships with a true light and dark theme — drag the handle to see both.

The industry secret

Your favorite plugins.
A fraction of the price.

The pros charge $200-$400 a plugin. Then iLok dongles. Then paid "upgrade plans." RysUp delivers the same pro-grade DSP — and on the subscription, every future plugin — for one low price.

Built different

Small team. Real humans. Shipping daily.

The big plugin brands take years between updates. We ship improvements every day — because we're small, fast, AI-accelerated, and actually listening to the people using our plugins.

We iterate faster than anyone

Leading AI in our dev workflow means we ship new features, new plugins, and bug fixes on a near-daily cadence. Waves took 20 years to update their EQ. We update every week.

You ask, we build

Tell us what you want in the plugin and we'll build it. Suite subscribers get direct access to the dev team — submit feature requests and see them shipped, usually within the week.

Here to disrupt, not extract

No iLok dongles. No paid "upgrade plans." No sales teams taking a cut. We skip the middlemen and price our plugins at what they're actually worth. Pro-grade DSP at indie prices.

Got feedback? Send it our way — we read every message, and we ship what the community asks for.

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know.

Can RysUpShift pitch-shift vocals without making them sound like chipmunks?
Yes. Independent pitch and formant controls mean you can shift pitch up or down while keeping the formant — the vocal character — natural. Shift a vocal up a 4th with formant untouched and it still sounds like a human voice, not a chipmunk.
What's the maximum pitch-shift range?
±12 semitones (one full octave each direction) with full formant independence. Beyond that the artifacts become noticeable. For extreme octaver effects on bass or synth, the top of the range still tracks cleanly thanks to the high-quality shifting engine.
Can I use RysUpShift for creating harmonies?
Yes. Use MIDI input mode and it'll shift the vocal to the pitch of each incoming MIDI note. Run multiple instances with different intervals (a 3rd above, a 5th below) and you have a full harmony stack from a single lead vocal — same workflow as Little AlterBoy or a basic harmonizer.
Does RysUpShift affect gender / voice character?
Yes, via the formant knob. Push formant up for a more feminine/brighter character, pull it down for a darker/more masculine tone. Pitch stays the same — only the voice character changes. Great for gender-swapping BGVs, creating "vocal doubles," or subtle character tweaks.
Will RysUpShift work in my DAW?
Yes. RysUpShift ships as AU, VST3, and AAX for macOS (Universal — Intel + Apple Silicon) and Windows 64-bit. That covers Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Studio One, Cubase, Reaper, GarageBand, Bitwig Studio, and every other major DAW.
What's the difference between the Suite subscription and buying outright?
Buying outright gets you this one plugin forever. The Rys Up Suite subscription ($9.99/mo on annual, $14.99/mo on monthly) gets you every current plugin plus every future plugin we release — one price that unlocks the entire catalog.
Do I need an iLok or dongle?
No. We use a simple license key system. Install once per machine, activate with your email and key, and you're done. No iLok account, no USB dongle, no annual license-manager fees.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes — and we back it with our 30-day fix-it guarantee. Hit a bug? Want a feature added? Email support and we get on it. If we don't ship the fix or feature within 30 days, you're entitled to a full refund, no questions asked. In practice we usually ship within the week — but the guarantee is yours either way. That's the benefit of a small, fast, customer-driven team: you talk to humans, not a ticket queue.
