OpenTune is a free vocal pitch correction tool for macOS and Windows. It regenerates vocals with a neural vocoder while preserving formants, and offers real-time correction and formant control. For pitch editing, users can draw by hand or work with notes and anchors; automatic key detection can identify a key, with support for Chromatic, Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Dorian, Mixolydian, and Harmonic Minor scales. Per-note EQ lets users shape individual notes, and the software imports WAV, FLAC, OGG, and MP3 files. OpenTune runs as a standalone app or a VST3 plugin with ARA2 support. Its AI processing pairs FCPE pitch extraction with a PC-NSF HifiGAN vocoder through ONNX Runtime. GPU inference uses DirectML on Windows and CoreML on macOS. The interface is available in Chinese, English, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. OpenTune is permanently free under the AGPL V3.0 license. macOS release packages are not Apple-notarized, so the first launch may display a developer verification prompt.
Who it is for
OpenTune suits vocalists, producers, and editors seeking pitch correction on macOS or Windows, either as a standalone app or within a VST3/ARA2 workflow. Its drawing, note, anchor, key-detection, and per-note EQ tools suit users who want detailed control over vocal edits.
