Warp
Key Features
- Vari-speed processing lets you speed up or slow down incoming audio for transitions, tape-stop moves, and creative resampling passes.
- Stretch control separates pitch behavior from time movement, including effects such as slowing audio down while pitching it upward.
- Mix control keeps the effect usable on insert tracks by blending processed movement with the dry signal.
- Three-control interface makes it fast to audition pitch-time changes without opening a larger transition designer.
- Derived from the Warp module in Baby Audio and Andrew Huang's Transit 2 multi-effect plugin.
- Mac, Windows, and iOS availability covers desktop plugin workflows plus mobile AUv3-style production.
Description
Warp is a creative vari-speed pitch effect from Baby Audio and Andrew Huang, extracted from the Warp module inside Transit 2. It is built for speeding up or slowing down audio while keeping the workflow focused on three main controls: Speed, Stretch, and Mix.
The core sound-design value is the way Speed and Stretch can separate time movement from pitch movement. You can make classic tape-stop style slowdowns, sharper speed ramps, or more unusual effects such as slowing a part down while pushing the pitch upward.
Because the interface is deliberately small, Warp works best as a quick transition and resampling tool rather than a full offline editor. It suits producers who want to audition pitch-time movement on vocals, drum loops, synth hooks, guitars, and effect throws without setting up a larger multi-effect chain.
As checked on June 13, 2026, Baby Audio still lists Warp on its official Freebies page, describes the freebies as fully functional audio plugins, and requires a free Baby Audio account for download access. That makes the official page the right download destination for SSA rather than a mirrored installer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Warp the same as the Warp module in Transit 2?
Warp is based on the Warp module from Transit 2, Baby Audio's transition designer created with Andrew Huang. The standalone freebie keeps the focused pitch-time workflow instead of the full Transit 2 multi-effect environment.
Can Warp change pitch independently from speed?
Yes. Baby Audio describes the Stretch knob as pitch control independent of time, and BPB notes that setting Stretch to 50% can retain pitch while changing speed.
Does Warp need a Baby Audio account?
Yes. The official Freebies page says users must sign in or sign up for a free Baby Audio account to download the freebies, so SSA links to the official page rather than hosting an installer.
