Pitch Controller

The Pitch Controller is used to force the input to an exact pitch. Trigger the desired note(s) by selecting keys on the keyboard image or by using a MIDI input controller. As long as a key is selected or held/triggered from an external controller, the chosen note

will adjust the input pitch. Only when you release the note will the input return to its original pitch. An external MIDI controller can also be used to gain immediate access to multiple octaves.

Note: If you are using a MIDI tempo map or tracking with timecode you can easily program (record) a note value into a MIDI sequencer at a precise loca- tion. In this way it is possible to correct a particular problem where the performance might otherwise be fine - using as little processing as possible.

Scale Detune

The Detune parameter allows you to change the pitch standard of Auto-Tune from the default A = 440Hz. The values are cents (100 cents = 1 semitone or half step). The range of adjustment is from –10 to +10 (10 being 100 cents).

The Detune function can be used to tune a vocal performance to some irreparably out-of-tune instrument (a piano or organ, for example), or to allow correction to other than the conventional

440Hz standard. If you have a
