When you have played the entire melody, press
the Learn Scale From MIDI button again to end
the process. The Edit Scale Display will now
contain a scale containing only those notes that
appeared in your melody.
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 7 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 7, 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 7
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 7’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 7’s target
pitches via MIDI, be sure that the
Target Notes Via MIDI button is off. If it is left
on and no MIDI note data is present, Auto-Tune
7 will pass through all audio unprocessed —
giving the impression that Auto-Tune 7 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 affect 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.
