This field is only for display,
and cannot be edited.

tual track to which the pro-
cessed source track will be

CCONTROL field

Selects the method of pitch correction/shift from the

three listed 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
specifying a scale from the key-
board on the display.
DPARAMETERS field
• TYPE.................... Set this to an appropriate value
to maximize the accuracy of the
pitch correction. Generally this
should be set to Normal, but for
low-pitched vocals it might be
preferable to use the Male set-
ting, and for high-pitched vocals
try the Female setting.
• KEEP FORMANT button
.................When this button is engaged the
basic character (timbre) of the
voice will not change when the
pitch is corrected.
• DETECT knob ..... Determines the pitch detection
speed. The shorter the setting,
the more quickly the pitch is
detected allowing faster
response. The longer the set-
ting, the more slowly the pitch is
detected which can result in
abrupt, step-like pitch changes.
•RATE knob.......... This determines the speed of
pitch change. The faster the set-
ting, the more quickly the pitch is
changed so that pitch correction
more accurately tracks the origi-
nal signal. When this is set to
“000,” there is no pitch change.
• PITCH knob .........This determines the octave set-
ting 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.
• FORMANT knob.. This determines the vocal char-
acter (timbre) of the pitch-
adjusted signal. Positive (+) val-
ues result in a higher voice char-
acter and negative (–) values
result in a deeper voice charac-
ter.
