Antares has announced the release of Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0 and Auto-Key 2. Here's the story in their own words...

Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0 marks an evolution in functionality of the iconic plug-in. Designed specifically for creative vocal production, Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0 delivers vibrant, high-impact effects to any vocal track. Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0 features seven powerful new effects (Breath, Reverb, Echo, Chorus, Compress, Low-pass, and EQ) alongside six proven original effects and four new reorderable modular EFX slots for maximum flexibility. The plug-in also features an improved user interface and dozens of fresh custom presets from innovative artists, including Aaron Dessner, Imogen Heap, Bon Iver, and Jess Jackson. Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0 is available with a subscription to Auto-Tune Unlimited or Auto-Tune Producer, or as a perpetual license. Auto-Tune EFX+ 10.0 is also compatible with the new Auto-Key 2.

Auto-Key 2 includes several new features that increase productivity in the studio. New automatic tempo detection joins automatic key and scale detection to easily identify primary musical properties that assist music creators and speed their workflows. Also new in Auto-Key 2 is the ability to drag and drop audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF) directly into a session. Other improvements include a resizable user interface with light and dark modes and automated key change tracking. Auto-Key 2 works seamlessly with all current editions of Auto-Tune.
