If you happen to have made an error during
note entry, or want to try again for any other
reason, simply click the Learn Scale From MIDI
button and start the process again.
NOTE: When you start the process by
pressing the Learn Scale From MIDI
button, all notes are first Removed
from the chromatic scale in preparation for
adding just the notes you play. If you then
press the Learn Scale From MIDI button again
without playing any notes, you will be left with
a chromatic scale with all notes removed. In
that state, Auto-Tune 8 will pass all notes with
no correction applied. So don’t do that.
Target Notes Via MIDI
To use the Target Notes Via MIDI function,
ensure that the desired MIDI source is routed
to Auto-Tune 8, then click the Target Notes Via
MIDI button. Its color will change to blue and
the Edit Scale display will automatically be set
to a chromatic scale with all of the notes set
to Remove. While in this mode, Auto-Tune 8
continuously monitors its MIDI input for Note
On messages. At any instant, the scale used
for correction is defined by all MIDI notes that
are on. For example, if MIDI notes A, C and E
are held, Auto-Tune 8’s input will be retuned to
an A, C or E, whichever is closest to the input
pitch.
The source of the MIDI input would typically
be a MIDI keyboard or sequencer track,
and could consist of chords, scales, or, most
powerfully, the exact melody that the input
should be corrected to.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you will not be
defining Auto-Tune 8’s target pitches
via MIDI, be sure that the Target
Notes Via MIDI button is o. If it is left on
and no MIDI note data is present, Auto-Tune
8 will pass through all audio unprocessed —
giving the impression that Auto-Tune 8 is not
functioning.
ANOTHER NOTE: We realize that
there is some possibility of confusion
between the Target Notes Via MIDI
function and the Learn Scale From MIDI
function described above. To clarify: Target
Notes Via MIDI is used to specify target pitches
in real time while pitch correction is occurring,
while Learn Scale From MIDI is used in advance
of correction to create a custom scale.
Octave As Played/All Octaves
For both of the MIDI functions (Learn Scale
from MIDI and Target Notes via MIDI), you
can choose whether you want incoming MIDI
notes to aect all octaves or just the notes in
the specific octaves in which they are played.
Simply click the desired button. The button
will change color to blue to indicate your
choice.
