This phrase is in D Major and, if all the pitch
errors were no greater than about 49 cents,
would work fine with a standard D Major scale
(D, E, F#, G, A, B, C# ). However, the pitch error
of three semitones at the end of the last note
is so large that with B and C# present in the
Scale, as the pitch fell, Auto-Tune 8 would see
first C# and then B as the target pitch and
therefore allow the error to remain. With C#
and B removed from the Scale, Auto-Tune 8
continues to see D as the target pitch for the
entire duration of the note and therefore pulls
the phrase up to the correct pitch.
Cents
The number in the Cents column is the
associated note’s interval, in cents, from
the root note of the scale. It’s provided for
reference purposes and to help you choose
which notes of a micro-tonal scale to include
or remove.
Set Major/Set Minor
When any scale that includes more than seven
notes (i.e., any non-diatonic scale) is selected,
the Set Major and Set Minor buttons will
appear. Clicking on either of these buttons
will “Remove” all notes from the scale
except for those notes closest to the notes
of a traditional diatonic major or minor scale
(depending, of course, on which button you
clicked).
Set All
Clicking this button sets all notes in the
current scale to Scale Notes in all octaves.
This function is useful as a Reset button to
instantly erase all previous Remove and/or
Bypass settings and reset an edited scale to its
default state.
Remove All
Clicking this button sets all notes in the current
scale to Remove in all octaves.
Bypass All
Clicking this button sets all notes in the current
scale to Bypass in all octaves.
