CIRCULAR: Click any where around the
circumference of the knob, press and hold
the left mouse button and “rotate” the knob
in the desired direction. The current value of
the knob’s parameter appears in its associated
numeric display.
FOLLOW HOST: Some hosts also allow you to
select a knob control method and pass that
selection on to plug-ins. If yours does, selecting
Follow Host will automatically set Auto-Tune
8’s Knob Control to the method selected in
your host. If you select Follow Host, but your
host doesn’t supply that information to Auto-
Tune 8, knob control will default to Linear.
USE CUSTOM CURSORS IN GRAPHICAL
MODE Click the check box to use Custom
Cursors in Graphical Mode. Normally, Auto-
Tune 8 displays dierent cursor shapes in the
Pitch Graph Display to help you select ranges
and grab and drag objects (e.g., the object
cursor, the anchor point cursor, etc.). However,
some host applications mistakenly think that
they own the cursor when it is in a plug-in
window. This may cause the cursor to flash as
the host and Auto-Tune 8 alternately try to set
the cursor shape. If this annoys you, unclick this
check box. It will stop the flashing, but you will
no longer see Auto-Tune 8’s custom cursors.
DISPLAY VERTICAL LINE AT CURSOR TIME
POSITION Click the check box to cause
a vertical line to be displayed at the cursor
position in Graphical Mode. This is most useful
when you are comparing the various pitch
values (tracked pitch, correction object pitch,
and output pitch) at one or more time locations
in your track.
A TIP: Since the line indicator can be
somewhat annoying during normal
editing tasks, you can, if you prefer,
uncheck this box in the Options dialog and
then assign Toggle Time Indicator to one of the
number keys as described below. That way, you
can turn it on only when you need it, without
having to call up the Options dialog every time.
SHOW OUTPUT PITCH CURVES Click the
check box to cause the green output curve
to be visible. When not checked, only the red
tracked pitch curve and the various correction
objects (Line, Curve or Note) will be visible.
SHOW ENVELOPE IN MAIN GRAPH Click the
check box to cause the amplitude envelope to
be visible in the main editing window. This is
particularly useful when selecting edit points
during time editing.
PLAY AUDIO FOR SELECTED NOTE
OBJECT When this box is checked, clicking
and holding on a Note object will result in
a tone sounding at the current pitch of the
Note object. Continuing to hold the mouse
down and moving the Note object up or down
will result in the tone changing to match the
position of the Note. Releasing the mouse
button will end the tone.
NOTE: If you have selected “Snap
to Note,” the tone will be limited to
exact semitones.
SHOW ENVELOPE GRAPH Click the check
box to cause the dedicated Envelope Graph to
be displayed under the main editing window.
If you are working on a laptop with limited
screen real estate, unchecking this box to
cause the Envelope Graph to disappear will
give you more screen space for the main
editing window.
AUTO-SCROLL MODE Click to select the
auto-scrolling method.
With screen-by-screen scrolling, the display
remains stationary until the play position
reaches the right-hand edge of the window,
at which time the display jumps to the next
screen of data.
With smooth scrolling, Auto-Tune 8 will
automatically scroll the Pitch Graph Display to
ensure that the current play position is always
visible in the display.
