Harmony Eight vs Ringotron
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Harmony Eight
Create up to eight distinct pitch-shifted voices from your audio input. Position each voice in stereo space, alter their character from male to female, and apply individual feedback delays for intricate rhythms. Offers advanced audio processing including EQ, compression, and reverb.
- 8-voice pitch shifting with formant correction
- Independent delay lines with sync
- Spatial voice positioning
- Vocal character modification
- Parametric EQ, Compressor, Limiter, Noise Gate
- Ensemble and Reverb effects
- AUv3, Inter-app audio, Audiobus support

Up to eight pitch shifted voices are created from vocal input or instruments. Separate algorithms for optimal shifting of vocals/monophonic instruments and for any other kind of audio. Position each voice in space ( left and right / front and back ) Modify the voice character from male to female and vice versa. Pitch shift each voice in the range of +/- one octave with preserving of formants for natural sound. Applying separate feedback delays on each voice creates complex rhythmical patterns. Features: • 8 Voice Pitch Shifter with formant correction • Optional shifting algorithm for polyphonic sounds • 8 Independent delay lines with optional sync • Spatial voice positioning • Parametric Equalizer • Integrated Compressor/Limiter/Noise Gate • Ensemble effect • Reverb effect • AudioUnit for AUv3 compatible hosts. • Inter-app audio compatible effect. • Audiobus 2 compatible with state saving. • Support for Ableton Link • Low latency live usage with mic and headphones. • Audio recorder
Ringotron
This app offers advanced control over ring modulation effects for sound design and audio processing. Its multi-band design allows precise manipulation of the audio spectrum, with a special soft mode to reduce unwanted intermodulation. It can also function as a resonant filter that smoothly transitions into a ring modulator.
- Parallel ring modulator units
- Stereo separation control
- Ultra-narrow band resonance
- Ribbon controls for frequencies
- Modulation system for band centers
- Tempo syncing for oscillators
- Soft limiter and clipper

Ringotron allows taming the strong transformational effects of traditional ring modulation, opening up a wider range of possibilities in sound design and audio FX. Its multi-band design enables fine control over which parts of the spectrum will be transformed by the effect. A special soft mode is available that borrows concepts from feedback modeling, which can be used to reduce intermodulation effects that are often a limiting factor in the more general applicability of ring modulators. In addition to the layers of control they provide, combination of these core features also allows the plugin to act as a stereo, multi-peak resonant filter that can also smoothly morph into a ring modulator. FEATURES: • 2 parallel ring modulator units (max. modulator frequency: 8 kHz) • Stereo separation can be added to band center, mod. frequency, mod. phase • Ultra-narrow bands can be used to create highly resonant sounds • 4 large ribbon controls for band center and modulator frequencies • Band center frequencies can be modulated by the built-in modulation system • Tempo syncing can be independently configured for each oscillator • Built-in soft limiter and clipper to protect against volume spikes IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The plugin comes with a zero-latency, non-brickwall soft limiter, and as such, its stopping power is limited. Make sure to always leave enough headroom or use an external brickwall limiter for total protection against powerful transients. Alternatively, a built-in soft clipper is also available. PLEASE NOTE: • AUv3-compatible host app is required • Suported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ringotron at 5.0 against Harmony Eight's 4.3. Ringotron also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Harmony Eight's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 20 months) and price ($2.99 vs $8.99). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
