The Problem

Traditional vocoders don't know music

Standard vocoders split audio into linearly or logarithmically spaced bands, ignoring your key and scale. The result? Bands that land between notes, create dissonance, and fight your mix. Band Ritual goes further: every band locks to a note in your chosen scale. And yes, it can do classic linear and log spacing too.

The Solution

Band Ritual locks to your scale

Pick a key, pick a scale — every band snaps to the correct musical notes. Change chords and the bands follow. Always in tune, always in key.

Ritual Audio Labs

Who We Are

We're a small group of sound-obsessed developers who started Ritual Audio Labs with one mission: push sound further.

What began as passion turned into craft — designing VSTs that feel musical, intuitive, and genuinely inspiring. Band Ritual is our first commercial plugin: the world's first scale-locked vocoder.

We know what producers need because we live in the same world: long nights, endless tweaking, chasing that one sound that finally clicks. We listen, we iterate, and we build tools that actually elevate your workflow — not complicate it.

We're also behind 100PercentYours — a one-time purchase that gives producers their own fully customizable website. No subscriptions, no intermediaries, no coding required. You buy it, you own it, and you can adapt it to your style and offerings whenever you want. Your site, your rules — 100%.
