When artist-founded plugin company Xynth Audio launched Chroma, it instantly became a staple in countless producers’ workflows. And now, they’ve taken it a step further: they’ve just launched Chroma v1.2, a refined evolution of their harmonic-shifting powerhouse designed to make your mix shimmer, sing, and sit perfectly in key.
At its core, Chroma doesn’t fabricate or flatten your sound: it re-aligns it. Developed in collaboration with dubstep super producer Nasko, it intelligently shifts out-of-key frequencies into your chosen harmonic range, maintaining the original tone and texture of your sound while enriching it with organic color and melodic coherence.

Version 1.2 brings a suite of powerful updates (all with zero latency) that make Chroma more intuitive, responsive, and sonically transparent than ever. None are more notable than the brand-new Spectral Morph and Spectral Gate features that give unprecedented control over timbre and transient shaping, allowing you to sculpt and smooth your signal in real time. Several other updates based on user feedback have been implemented. The best part? This update is completely free for all existing users.
Built by “producers, for producers,” Xynth Audio was conceived by producers Speechrezz and Paper Skies as an antidote to the industry’s overpriced “magic plugins.” Instead of empty promises, Xynth Audio delivers accessible, high-quality tools that empower creatives at every level at a price artists can actually afford. Heavily upgrading Choma without charging existing customers is a true testament to their mission statement: they want you to have great tools at reasonable prices.

If you’ve been looking for a new tool that can instantly improve your harmonics and squash any dissonance in your tracks, then it’s never been a better time to jump into Chroma.
Chroma v1.2 is now on sale for 40 USD. Buy it here!
