Find the key here. Send it on your Mac.
The website works without installation. The optional companion connects to Auto-Tune on your computer. Your audio is not uploaded or included in the key file.
Mac companion · preview 0.14.0
Apple silicon (M1 or newer) · macOS 14 or newer.
Not available for Windows or Intel Macs in this preview.
This is a development preview, locally signed but not Apple-notarized. macOS may block opening it on another Mac. A signed customer installer and clean-Mac validation are still pending. Do not disable macOS security; you can keep using the website without the companion.
Three steps to sending
- Unzip the download, move PICH Lab.app to Applications, and open it. It opens the companion controls in your browser. Keep the launcher running while you use it.
- Open Connection setup in the companion and choose your Console or DAW. For supported automatic installation, press Install connection files, then complete the short host-specific steps.
- Analyze a beat on this website and press Save key for companion. Open that downloaded .pichkey file. Choose your destination in the companion, press Find, select the exact instance, then press Send.
If macOS doesn’t associate the key file yet, open the companion and click Open key file from website. No copy-and-paste is needed. A possible mode may use a differently named major/minor scale with the same notes.
What setup is available?
| Destination | This preview |
|---|---|
| UAD Console | No extra PICH script. Requires connected Apollo and licensed Real-Time X. |
| FL Studio | Installs the controller file. Pair its input/output ports once. Artist 9.2 was tested. |
| Ableton Live | Installs the control surface. Select it once in Live. Artist 9.2 and Real-Time X 11.8 were tested. |
| REAPER | Installs the scripts. Load the action once and run it each time REAPER opens. Artist 9.2 and Real-Time X 11.8 AU were tested; X’s editor stalled in the test setup. |
| Logic / Pro Tools | Development installations work, but fresh customer setup is not included in this download. |
Tests were performed on the development Mac, not a range of customer systems. File installation uses default DAW folders. Custom locations need manual setup. Auto-Tune software, DAW licenses and UAD hardware are not included.
