NOTE:
Pressing and holding the
Shift key on your keyboard will
temporarily toggle the Keyboard
Mode.
A TIP: The main purpose of the
Momentary mode is to allow you to
deal easily with specific individual
events in a performance. However, you can
also use it to “play” the target melody notes in
real time. To do this:
•
Set the Scale to Chromatic and use the Scale
Edit window Remove All button to remove all
notes from the scale
•
Set Keyboard Edit to Remove and Keyboard
Mode to Momentary
•
Now use your mouse to play the target
melody on the keyboard.
It’s not as easy as Target Notes via MIDI, but if
you don’t have a MIDI controller handy, it’ll do
in a pinch.
Sample Rate Display
This display indicates the sample rate of the
current audio file as reported to Auto-Tune 8
by the host application.
NOTE: Auto-Tune 8 is high sample
rate compatible. If your host
application and audio hardware
are capable of dealing with up to 192 kHz files,
Auto-Tune 8 will process them correctly.
However, it’s important to remember that
high sample rate files require substantially
more DSP power than 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz
files, so the number of possible simultaneous
Auto-Tune 8 instantiations will be decreased.
YET ANOTHER NOTE: If you are
using external A/D converters
with independently selectable
sample rates, it can be possible to establish
a mismatch between the actual conversion
sample rate and what the host application
thinks is the sample rate. If this happens, Auto-
Tune 8 will appear to be correcting pitch to the
“wrong” key. If this appears to be happening,
check to be sure that your converter sample
rate and your host application sample rate (as
displayed by Auto-Tune 8) match.
Pitch Shifting, Formant Correction
and Throat Modeling
To use the Pitch Shifting, Formant Correction
and/or Throat Modeling functions in
Automatic Mode, refer to the descriptions of
the Transpose, Throat Length, and Formant
controls in the Common Controls section
earlier in this chapter.
