Throat Length
Adjust
To give you
maximum
control over the
timbre of your
vocal tracks,
the Throat
Length Adjust
control lets you
independently set the throat length of each
individual correction object (Curve, Line or
Note). While the overall Throat Length for
your track is still set by the master Throat
Length control in the Common Controls
section, each correction object can have its
own independent adjustment (either longer or
shorter) as desired.
NOTE: Since each correction object can have its
own independent Throat Length adjustment,
the Throat Length Adjust control is only active
when Formant Correction is enabled and at
least one correction object is selected.
The default Throat Length Adjust setting is
 (in which case the object(s) will have the
Throat Length as set by the master Throat
Length control). Command (Mac)/Control (PC)
clicking the slider will reset it to that value.
Graphical Mode MIDI Functions
New in Auto-Tune
8 is the ability
to record a MIDI
input in Graphical
Mode and use
the recorded
MIDI notes
to create Note Correction Objects. This
makes it extremely quick and easy to set
the target notes of a known melody line
or create harmony parts from the original
vocal (although, if you’re often generating
harmony parts, we highly recommend our
Harmony Engine Evo Vocal Modeling Harmony
Generator as the most ecient solution).
Depending on your intent, the MIDI data could
come from a prerecorded MIDI sequencer
track or in real time from a MIDI controller
(typically a keyboard) played during the pitch
or pitch + time tracking process.
Recording MIDI Information
The only thing you need to do to record MIDI
data is to route your MIDI source to Auto-Tune
8.
NOTE: Although virtually all major
hosts these days allow the routing of
MIDI to plug-ins, there may still be a
few hosts lurking out there that do not support
it. If you happen to be using one of those, this
MIDI function will not be available.
Once a MIDI source is routed to Auto-Tune 8,
any MIDI Note On and Note O events from
that source will automatically be recorded
whenever you track pitch or pitch + time.
ANOTHER NOTE: Since only one Note
Correction Object can exist at any
time point on the Pitch Graph, the
incoming MIDI data is recorded with “last note
played” priority. What this means is that if two
MIDI notes overlap at all, the later note’s Note
On will also generate a Note O for the earlier
note.
