Preview Telephone Right Here.
Hear eight presets on the same vocal and flip to the dry take in one tap, or play Flappy Producer, Stick Sniper and Dealer Sim right here in your browser. Swipe up and explore the phone. The full arcade lives inside the plugin.
Demos run once. Everything runs in full inside the plugin.
Four “apps” at the bottom of the phone put everything at your thumb. Swipe presets, drag the EQ, bypass to compare. Light enough to stack on every vocal track.
Dynamics
Bite
EQ, a 76-style compressor, distortion and a saturator on one screen: tighten, crush and push the vocal through a phone speaker.
Reverb
Space
Chamber, Shimmer and Plate, from a small-room slap to a wide shimmering tail.
Choral
Voice
CyberVOX vocoder, Cyber Tune pitch correction, harmonies, chorus and width.
Mod
Warble
Tape wow and flutter, tape hiss, ring mod and a tempo-synced echo.
Every app was rebuilt from the ground up: new processors, new hardware-style faceplates, and controls that read out in real units, so you can dial in exact settings.
CyberVOX
Resynthesis vocoder
A spectral resynthesis engine tracks the pitch of your vocal and rebuilds it as clean harmonics. You get robot, talkbox and classic vocoder tones that stay intelligible. Harmony turns your voice into in-key chords, played from your singing, a step sequencer or MIDI.
Cyber Tune
Scale-locked pitch
Pick a key and scale and Telephone pulls the vocal onto it, from natural correction to the hard-tuned Cyber sound. A tuning dial shows the note and how far off you are, in cents.
Compressor
76-style FET
Input, output, attack and release, four ratio buttons (4, 8, 12 and 20:1), output boost and a VU meter that shows gain reduction.
Saturation
Drive that stays level
The saturator compensates its own gain as you push the drive, so you hear the color, not just more volume. A real high-shelf tone control and a dry/wet mix complete it.
Reverb
Chamber, Shimmer, Plate
Three reverbs, each with its own faceplate and animation that follows the wet signal. Chamber blends dry and wet like a send, and Plate has six plate types, from Classic to Ghost, on a plate engine of our own.
Tape
Wow, flutter, hiss
Tape-style wow and flutter, a hiss that rises naturally as you turn it up, a ring modulator and a stereo echo that syncs to your DAW tempo.
CyberVOXCyber TuneReverbMod
Style presets are loudness-matched, so switching sounds is a fair comparison, not a volume jump.
A preset browser built for speed. A store that keeps giving.
Search, favourite and audition presets in one tap, and lock any app while you browse so your Dynamics or Reverb stay put. New presets and wallpapers land in the Telephone Store all the time, including free drops.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days with the full plugin. Download Telephone, open it in your DAW and sign in with your email. Your trial starts right away, with no card needed, and you get the same 500 credits and Game Cash a buyer gets. Hold’em cash tables, Dice Duels and the leaderboards open when you buy. One trial per person. Buy any time and everything you have carries over.
Does it only do one sound?
No. Presets range from a clean phone to fully destroyed, and the Dynamics, Reverb, Choral and Mod apps let you tailor the texture.
Will it work in my DAW?
Yes. Telephone is VST3, AU and AAX and is tested in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Studio One, Cubase, Reaper and any other host that loads plugins.
How heavy is it on CPU?
Lightweight. It is designed to be stacked on multiple tracks.
What are the system requirements?
macOS 11 or newer (Intel and Apple Silicon) or Windows 10/11 64-bit, and enough disk space for the installer.
Can I give Telephone as a gift?
Yes. Use Gift Telephone above: enter the producer’s email, check out, and their license (with 500 credits) unlocks as soon as the payment goes through. They download Telephone and sign in with that email. If they already own it, contact support and we will sort it out.
Can I turn off notifications and apps?
Yes. Turn on Studio Mode in Settings › Accessibility. It hides the lock screen’s Today card, notification cards and unread badges and calms the animations. You can also dismiss any notification with its ×, and it stays dismissed. To hide the phone side completely, turn on Facelock Off in Settings › Security: the lock screen and every app are hidden and Telephone is just the vocal effect.
Does Telephone have chat rooms?
Yes. The Chat app has public channels (#general, #presets, #help and #off-topic) open to every Telephone user, and you can create private rooms protected by a password for your own session. It works VST to VST, from any DAW to any DAW, and it’s free.
Does Telephone have Spanish tooltips?
Yes. Turn on Tooltips En Español in Settings › Accessibility and every tooltip in the plugin switches to Spanish, including the CyberVOX vocoder, all four effect apps, presets and settings. Hold Shift over any control to see its tooltip, or turn on HELP to show them on hover. Sí: todas las descripciones emergentes del plugin están en español.
Is there a session timer?
Yes. Tap the clock in the top-left of the phone to open the Session Timer. It shows the date, the time and how long the current session has been running.
How do I update Telephone?
From 1.4.0, open Settings › Software Update and press Download Update: Telephone downloads the right installer for your computer, checks it and opens it for you. Save your project and close your DAW, run the installer, then reopen. On an older version, get the installer at telephoneplugin.com/download.
What is Game Cash?
Game Cash is the Arcade’s play money. You earn it by making music in Telephone: every 30 minutes of a session pays out, plus a daily reward. It’s for play in the Arcade only and has no cash value.
