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.
