Klowra Vein Pitch Shifter just got a massive firmware update. Featuring an even more responsive Tight Mode, Hidden Harmony Routing for crafting huge arrangements, and an ultra-low 8ms latency that handles 300bpm shredding without breaking a sweat... And that's just the beginning.


You have to get your hands on Vein v3.0.0 to truly experience how incredibly fun it is.



Vein Pitch Shifter


Velocity Matrix

Highlights Vein's updated tracking capabilities. Built for dense, fast phrasing, this preset utilizes 8ms latency and specific dual intervals to inject a broad, colorful three-part harmony into your playing.


Transient Grip: The 8ms latency minimizes typical digital pitch-shifting lag. Shifted signals (P4 up | P5 down) tightly track dry transients, keeping continuous high-BPM runs crisp and articulate.

Expansive Colors: These intervals offer a musical alternative to standard octaves. A balanced mix weaves a slightly suspended composite harmony, giving single-note lines an open, progressive character.

Fluid Texture: A pushed Detune and relaxed Rate introduce noticeable micro-pitch drift. This chorus-like modulation softens fast alternate picking, coating the digital shifts in a smooth, fluid texture.

Majestic Vertigo

Builds a rich three-part harmony via the dual-interval engine, using Ramp to alternate between contrasting shapes. It injects a weightless, surreal tension into grand phrasing, echoing a fading empire.


Harmonic Shift: A balanced mix syncs the signals. Ramp alternates between two dual-interval sets - P5 (P5 up | P4 down) and P4 (P4 up | P5 down) - reshaping the melody's emotion.

Anxious Tension: Ramp drives this unease, forcing the track to oscillate between harmonies. This shatters static pitch-shifting, creating a kaleidoscopic vertigo and psychedelic tension.

Cold Precision: Zeroed Rate and Detune erase all modulation. The shifted signals remain precise and motionless. This cold purity magnifies the uncanny contrast of the Ramp's twists.

Tectonic Shift

Highlights the firmware's transient tracking and dual-interval capabilities. This preset tightly locks the dry signal with deep, down-shifted tones, creating a heavy, clear foundation for mid-to-slow phrasing.


Tight Tracking: The 8ms latency eliminates the mud typical of low-pitch shifting. Even with the dual intervals (P5 down | P4 up), the attack remains crisp and articulate.

Wide Foundation: These intervals offer a richer alternative to standard sub-octaves. A slightly wet-leaning mix intertwines these with the dry tone, building an expansive low-mid harmonic base.

Smooth Drift: A moderate Rate and restrained Detune introduce subtle micro-pitch drift. This softens digital rigidity and adds smooth stereo tension without compromising tuning accuracy.

Solid Foundation

Focuses on low-end reshaping and thick dual-voice layering. Using wide intervals, this preset provides a massive foundation for lightly driven palm-muted riffs while adding lively organic dynamics.


Solid Framework: Dual intervals (1 OCT down | P5 up) build a robust low-mid framework. The optimized low latency tracks overdriven palm mutes closely, ensuring a tight, punchy attack.

Balanced Blend: A balanced wet/dry mix brings the shifted signals upfront. The sub-octave and fifth act in sync with the dry tone, giving single-note lines the thickness of a full amp stack.

Organic Growl: A deep Detune and active Rate introduce noticeable micro-pitch drift. Driven by overdrive, this modulation removes digital rigidity, giving the heavy low-end a swirling.

Chaos Descent

Tailored for traditional Metalcore. Utilizing the Ramp feature, this preset stretches between deep sub-lows and piercing highs, injecting a tearing tension and madness into aggressive riffs.


Extreme Trajectory: The Ramp engine forces a massive leap in pitch. Sweeping from a heavy, oppressive low-end to a piercing high-frequency scream, this sudden shift breaks physical fretboard limits, creating a jarring sense of lost control.

Dynamic Mutation: As the Ramp ascends, the rate and depth of pitch drift drastically increase. The initially tight and grounded low notes mutate into dense, nervous high-frequency shivers, amplifying the chaotic auditory feedback.

Total Isolation: A maxed-out mix completely removes the dry signal. By isolating the shifted voice, the tracking engine's extreme processing is exposed entirely. With no original dry tone to anchor the sound, the tearing, synthetic texture of the extreme shift is delivered with uncompromising purity.

Lucid Mirage

Radiates a strange Dreamcore aesthetic. Tailored for arpeggios, this preset utilizes the Ramp engine to abruptly warp a bright harmony into a melancholic one, simulating a sudden distortion in a dream or a fading memory.


Harmonic Collapse: The Ramp triggers an abrupt shift from a bright major triad to a shadowed minor shape. This sudden tonal demotion injects an eerie, unsettling suspense into repeating arpeggios, like a familiar memory suddenly turning unfamiliar.

Unstable Flutter: Active modulation rates and deep pitch drift create a constant, nervous warble. This degraded, VHS-like wobble strips away digital clarity, bathing the shifted voices in a surreal, weightless texture.

Absolute Immersion: A fully maxed mix severs all ties to the dry signal. By completely removing the physical attack and reality of the natural guitar, the listener is entirely submerged in the isolated, synthetic illusion generated by the pitch engine.

Prism Spark

Showcases the crystalline texture of dual intervals. Ideal for dense, gothic-tinged arpeggios or clean tones needing bright resonance, it turns pick attacks into a clear, refractive soundscape.


Fast Tracking: Ultra-low latency eliminates digital lag. Shifted signals tightly track pick transients, keeping dense arpeggios articulate and mud-free.

Crystalline Tone: Dual intervals (1 OCT up | P4 down) create a bright three-part harmony. A balanced mix transforms single notes into a shimmering, refractive texture.

Animated Decay: A pushed Detune and relaxed Rate introduce subtle pitch drift. This softens digital rigidity, giving the high-frequency shifts a lingering, animated tail.

Amber Acoustic

Tailored for acoustic Indie Folk. This preset uses dual intervals to build a rich major triad, giving simple picking a warm, comforting texture.


Woven Warmth: Dual intervals (P5 up | P4 down) create a bright major harmony. It instantly thickens thin acoustic single notes or basic arpeggios into full, resonant chords.

Gentle Blend: A wet-leaning mix wraps the dry signal in shifted overtones. Optimized dynamic tracking ensures the natural attack and tactile feel of acoustic fingerpicking are preserved, even with a heavy wet blend.

Organic Tremor: A moderate Detune and slow Rate introduce delicate micro-pitch drift. This natural, chorus-like modulation mimics the resonance of multiple acoustic guitars playing in unison, adding a rustic warmth.

Parallel Strings

Focuses on clear bass extension and pure harmonic layering. Using wide descending/ascending intervals, this preset provides stable low-end support for crisp chord progressions while preserving the original playing texture.


Bass Overlay: The intervals (P4 down | P5 up) create a deep, expansive foundation. Optimized low latency ensures tight tracking, blending seamlessly with high-register strumming.

Restrained Blend: A dry-leaning mix tucks the pitch-shifted signals slightly behind your dry tone. This preserves bright pick attacks and harmonic details, simply widening and thickening thin solo chords.

Pure Lines: Zeroed Rate and Detune remove all modulation and pitch drift. The shifted harmony remains completely still and uncolored. This zero-modulation approach guarantees strict tuning and mud-free clarity during multi-voice chord layering.
