ECTRL

Selects the method of pitch correction/shift from the

three ways below.

• SCALE ........Specify the scale via received MIDI

notes to adjust the pitch. For example,

if you play a chord on a connected

MIDI keyboard, the pitch is shifted by

the notes included in the chord.

•NOTE...........The pitch is changed according to the

received MIDI note.

•PANEL.........This lets you adjust the pitch by speci-

fying a scale from the keyboard on the

display.

FTYPE

Sets this to an appropriate value to maximize the accu-

racy of the pitch change of the original signal. Gener-

ally, this should be set to Normal; however, for low

vocals, set this to Male, and for high vocals, set it to

Female.

GDETECT

This determines the time resolution for pitch change.

The shorter the setting, the more quickly the pitch

change is recognized. The longer the setting, the more

slowly pitch changes are made, resulting in more

abrupt, step-like pitch changes.

HRATE

This determines the speed resolution for pitch change.

The faster the setting, the more quickly the pitch is

changed, increasing the apparent effectiveness of the

pitch change function. When this is set to “000,” there

is no pitch change.

IFORMANT

This determines the vocal quality (character) of the

pitch-adjusted signal. Positive (+) values result in a

higher voice quality and negative (–) values result in a

lower voice quality.

JPITCH

This determines the octave setting of the pitch-

adjusted signal. The range is from –2 to 2 octaves in

semitone steps. The integer and fraction segments of

the value are set separately.

KKeyboard

The graphic keyboard can be used to specify notes

when the CTRL parameter is set to PANEL. To turn a

note on or off, move the cursor to the desired note and

press [ENTER].

• Different tracks must be speciﬁed for the source and destina-

tion.
