Waveform: Waveform defines the shape of the synthetic vibrato which will be applied to

a selection. Choices are: sine, triangle, square, saw up, saw down.

Default: Sine.

Pre-delay:0 to 2000 ms; Default 0ms

This is the time it will take from the start of a new note until the synthetic vibrato commences.

Rate: 1 to 20Hz, Default: 5.0Hz

This defines the rate of the synthetic vibrato waveform modulation.

Depth: +/-0 to 400 cents; Default: 0

This value sets the amount of vibrato (or pitch deviation from the original note.) At the full synthetic vibrato setting of 400 cents, pitch will deviate by a whole step above and below the original note.

Attack: 0 to 1000ms; Default: 0ms.

This is the time it will take the synthetic vibrato modulation to build from no vibrato to its full depth.

MIDI

Each Tune instance creates a MIDI port through which it receives and sends MIDI information. The configuration varies depending on the host application. Operation of Waves Tune is possible without MIDI, but a few features are lost.

There are two applications specifically for MIDI note I/O:

Receive MIDI – Tune to MIDI Notes: On/Off button

This allows designating the current pitch according to a MIDI note, so you can actually retune to a designated note by playing it on a keyboard. This mode overrides the Notes grid (and all other modes) while MIDI notes are being played. Normal functioning resumes when no MIDI note input is sensed. MIDI note targeting overrides the speed and note transition, which can be adjusted later.

Export MIDI – Exports Correction Curve to MIDI.

You can export your completed corrections to a MIDI file which can be played by any MIDI instrument. Designated notes in the Edit Window can be translated to MIDI notes and delivered as MIDI output. Create a MIDI file simply by pressing the Export MIDI button located on the Waves Menu Bar. The exported MIDI file will contain the pitch contours as pitch bend control, calibrated to +/- two semitones. 127=+200 cents; 0=-200 cents. Don’t forget to correctly set the pitch bend range on your synth.

General Purpose Buttons:

If you wish to redo the automatic tuning of a selection or of an entire song after the detected and corrected Pitch Curve is established, use one of the following buttons located beneath the Edit Window, between the Piano Roll and the Re-Segment section:
