[. . . ] A value of zero will cause instantaneous changes from one tone to another and will completely suppress a vibrato (note that related volume changes will remain). Press the mouse under the "remove" column so that the "chk" symbol appears next to all the tones except F#. Edits made using the Edit Scale dialog depend on the scale. That is, each scale retains its own edits separate from the other scales. Auto-Tune Users Manual 23 Auto-Tune Tutorial 4. You are hearing the output pitch change with the Detune slider movement. This is because the Detune slider changes the pitch standard of the scale. If you have a tone you know that you want to use as the pitch standard, select that tone and play it in a loop. Set the Vibrato popup to "sine wave" and play back the sound. Experiment with the vibrato controls to learn their effects. Lesson 2: Graphical Mode This lesson will show you how to use the Graphical Mode controls of Auto-Tune. The Automatic Mode and Graphical Mode function separately; when one is active, corrections of the other are not performed. The Graphical Mode is similar to the Automatic Mode in that it continuously tracks the pitch of the incoming sound and modies the output pitch to be closer to a desired pitch. In the Graphical Mode, the desired pitch is not a scale tone, rather it is given graphically by you and is called the target pitch function. As in Automatic Mode, the rate of change towards the desired pitch (the target pitch function) is controlled by the Retune slider. The Graphical Mode uses the Pitch Graph: 24 Auto-Tune Users Manual Lesson 2: Graphical Mode The appearance of the Pitch Graph is affected by the Key, Scale and Detune setting in the Automatic Mode. These parameters do not affect the computations performed in Graphical Mode. They merely provide you with information about the location of scale tones so that you may draw in your desired pitches. The basic steps you will perform in Graphical Mode are: Select some sound for processing. Set the buffer for a few seconds longer than the duration of the audio you are going to tune. The pitch will be detected and then displayed in the Pitch Graph as a red curve. Create a target pitch function using the Graphical tools and adjust the Retune slider for the desired effect. Press Correct Pitch and play back the sound. Setup your playback so that Auto-Tune processes the file "A2-A3-A2 sweep" . After the playback stops, or is stopped by you, you will have to press the Track Pitch button again to stop the tracking function. In Graphical Mode, it is important that the sound played back for pitch correction begins precisely at the same spot as the sound played back for pitch detection. The specied target pitch function will be applied to whatever sound occurs after playback begins, even if it is a completely different sound. In other words, before you press Correct Pitch and play, make sure that the counter is set to start from the exact place you started Track Pitch. Auto-Tune Users Manual 25 Auto-Tune Tutorial 1. [. . . ] After you use the Make Auto button, you may choose to hear the sound that would be produced in Automatic Mode. This will faithfully reproduce the effect of the computed curve. The Tracking slider The DSP computes the pitch of the incoming sound during pitch tracking and pitch correction. The Graphical mode Tracking slider is similar in function but separate from the Tracking slider in the Automatic Mode. In both modes, it controls how much variation in the incoming waveform is allowed. [. . . ]
