The Virtual Keyboard
The Virtual Keyboard displays Auto-Tune 7’s
pitch detection range and acts as a real-time
display of the currently detected pitch, a display
of the current Scale settings, and as a tool
for setting target note behaviors in specific
octaves.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The keyboard is
only active for scales with exactly
twelve notes. It will be grayed
out (hence inactive) when any other scale is
selected.
“But wait!” you might be thinking, “I want
to edit Major and Minor scales in individual
octaves and the keyboard is grayed out when I
select either one.” No problem. Simply select
Chromatic, then use the Set Major or Set Minor
button to set up the scale of your choice and
edit away.
ANOTHER NOTE: New in Auto-Tune 7,
when either the Major or Minor scale
is selected, the virtual keyboard will
display the currently detected pitch (although
the keyboard will still not be active for editing).
KEY COLORS The color of the keys of the
Virtual Keyboard indicate their current state as
follows:
COLOR STATE
Blue The currently detected
input pitch
White or Black Scale Note
Gray Removed Note
Light Brown Bypassed Note
KEYBOARD EDIT These buttons are used to
select which state (Remove or Bypass) will be
toggled when you click on a key.
When Remove is selected, clicking on any
key that is not currently set to Remove will set
that key to Remove. Clicking on any key that is
currently set to Remove will set that key to a
Scale Note.
When Bypass is selected, clicking on any
key that is not currently set to Bypass will set
that key to Bypass. Clicking on any key that is
currently set to Bypass will set that key to a
Scale Note.
NOTE: In the descriptions above,
“clicking” on a key refers to pressing
the mouse button down and then releasing it.
The edit action is executed when the mouse
button is released. Therefore, if the Keyboard
Mode is set to Latch (see below), dragging
across the keyboard highlights each key in
turn, but it is only when you release the mouse
button that the resulting key will change state.
