In practice, if your MIDI file is a single
melody line that has been carefully played or
programmed such that no two notes overlap,
everything will be as you expect. If notes
overlap, you may or may not get exactly the
result you want. If not, simply edit the MIDI
data (or play more precisely). If your MIDI file
is polyphonic, you’re likely to get pretty wacky
results. If wacky isn’t what you’re looking for,
it’s probably better not to do that.
Show MIDI
When the Show MIDI button is blue, any MIDI
data that has previously been recorded will
be displayed as red boxes on the Pitch Graph.
Clicking the Show MIDI button will toggle its
state.
NOTE: The red MIDI notes display
is for reference only. Unless you
choose to make Note Objects from
the MIDI notes as described below, the MIDI
notes will have no eect on Auto-Tune 8’s pitch
correction.
Make Notes From MIDI
Clicking the Make Notes From MIDI button
will convert any currently recorded MIDI notes
into Note Correction Objects.
NOTE: If a range of time has been
selected using the I-Beam Tool,
the Make Notes From MIDI button
works only in the selected time range.
Otherwise it works on all red MIDI data.
Since the assumption is that you will create
your MIDI track with your desired timing, the
recorded MIDI notes are not aected by the
time manipulation tools. As a result, if you will
be performing time correction on your audio
in a range where you will be using the Make
Notes From MIDI function, you should use the
following workflow:
1. Create a MIDI track with the desired timing
and route it to Auto-Tune 8.
2. Track Pitch + Time (which also records the
MIDI data).
3. If necessary, click the Show MIDI button to
display the recorded MIDI notes.
4. Use the time tools described later in this
chapter to adjust the timing of your audio
to match the timing of the displayed MIDI
notes.
5. Click the Make Notes From MIDI button to
convert the MIDI notes in Note Correction
Objects that will now be in perfect sync
with your audio.
