2. If a performance contains only a single
error, you can set all notes to Bypass
except the one “sour” note. Auto-Tune
7 will then pass the entire performance
through unprocessed except for the sour
note, which will be corrected.
Remove
If the Remove button is lit, then the note is
simply removed from the current scale. For
example, selecting the Chromatic scale and
then setting C#, D#, F#, G#, A# to Remove
would cause a C Major scale to remain. In that
case Auto-Tune 7 would always retune the
input to the closest note of the C Major scale.
Why set Scale notes to “Remove”?
To understand why it is sometimes necessary
to set even correct scale notes to ”Remove,“
let’s look again at the example from Chapter 2.
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 7 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 7
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.
