Sample Rate Display
This display indicates the
sample rate of the current
audio file as reported to
Auto-Tune 7 by the host
application.
NOTE: Auto-Tune 7 is high sample
rate compatible. If your host
application and audio hardware are
capable of dealing with up to 192 kHz files
(96kHz files for HD Accel systems), Auto-
Tune 7 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 7
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 7 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 7) 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.
KEYBOARD MODE When the Latch mode is
active (i.e., the Latch button is blue), any edits
made to the keyboard will latch -i.e., clicking a
key will change its state and the key will retain
that state until some other action causes it to
change.
When the Momentary mode is active (i.e., the
Momentary button is blue), keyboard edits are
only active for as long as the mouse is held
down on a key.
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.
