Making Detailed Settings for Pitch Correction (Correction Event Map)

In the procedures described thus far, what has been explained is how to correct the overall pitch for the entire song, from start to finish, in semitone increments.

In actual practice, however, there may be situations where you want to correct only a certain section or adjust the pitch differently. In such instances, use the following procedure.

1.Start by switching to BOUNCE mode and selecting the patch to which pitch correction is to be applied.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “P.MAP” in the Pitch Correction patch selection screen and press [ENTER].

The Correction Event Map screen appears.

You can make corrections freely at the desired points in the song by arranging correction events in the sequence they occur.

The sequence of correction events with the information they contain is called a “correction event map.”

Initially, only one correction event, “AUTO,” is input at the beginning of the correction event map.

AUTO:

After the specified point in the song, all pitches are corrected in semitone increments.

3.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “INSERT” and press [ENTER].

A new correction event is inserted.

4.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Time” and specify the time at which you want the correction to start with the TIME/VALUE dial.

	Time	Smth
Note		(Correction Speed)

In the Correction Event Map screen, you can input the time at which you want the pitch correction to start as well as the pitch.

Taken together, this timing and pitch data is referred to as a “correction event.”

	Correction	Next event
Pitch	start point	start point
Correction
pitch
	Vocal pitch
		Time

You cannot change the time of the correction event at the

start of the song.

5.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Note” and specify the pitch you want to correct with the TIME/VALUE dial.

Note:

OFF

No correction is made after the specified point in the song. The song is played using the original pitch.

AUTO

After the specified point in the song, all pitches are corrected in semitone increments.

C, C#, –A#, B

The performance after the specified point in the song is adjusted to the specified pitch.

The reference pitch for NOTE is determined by the tuner's reference pitch. See “Setting the Reference Pitch of the Tuner” (p. 189).
