Speed Page

The first edit page displayed is the SPEED page:

Program:XX Speed (0 is fast): yy

The SPEED control determines how rapidly pitch correction is applied to the incoming sound. Values range from 0 to 25. A value of zero will cause instantaneous changes from one tone to another and will completely suppress a vibrato and any purposeful expressive pitch variations (note that any related volume changes will remain). Values from 6 to 10 are typical for vocals. Higher values allow more vibrato and other interpreta- tive pitch gestures, but will slow down the rate at which pitch corrections are made.

Although the above suggestions can be used as starting points, finding the correct Speed setting for a particular performance is largely a matter of trial-and-error and depends on such attributes as song tempo, note duration and vocal style, among others.

In most cases, you will probably tell the ATR-1a which notes to correct using the Scale Page described below. However, there may be occasions when it is not clear exactly what key a melody line is in, or where the line has too many accidentals to fit comfortably into a conventional scale. For those occasions, the Make Scale From MIDI function allows you to simply play the line into the ATR-1a from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer and let the ATR-1a construct a custom scale containing only those notes that appear in the line.
