The Pitch and Envelope Graph Displays
The Pitch Graph Display
The Pitch Graph displays the pitch contour
of the audio to be processed as well as the
pitch correction objects that you create and a
plot of the exact output pitch based on each
object’s current Retune Speed. Additionally, the
amplitude envelope of the displayed audio is
displayed as a background element of the graph.
On the display, the vertical axis represents pitch
(with higher notes towards the top) while the
horizontal axis represents time.
The horizontal grid lines or lanes (depending on
the current display mode) represent scale pitches.
The grid lines provide a reference to guide you
in drawing and editing correction objects. The
positions of the graph lines correspond to the
pitches of the notes in the currently selected
scale. Changing the Scale Detune setting will
result in the scale pitch graph lines moving up
or down relative to the tracked pitch.
You can resize the Graphical Mode window to
take advantage of those nice big high-resolution
monitors that have become so affordable. In
most hosts, Auto-Tune 7’s Graphical Mode
window can be resized in real-time, limited only
by the size of your monitor.
In hosts that don’t support real-time resizing,
the window size can be set in the Options
Dialog as described above. In VST hosts,
resizing is limited to a maximum size of 1600 x
1200 pixels — still not too shabby.
Show Lanes
The Pitch Graph Display’s default
mode displays horizontal lines that
represent each pitch. This is probably
the most useful mode with Curve
and Line correction objects.
However, with the introduction of Note objects,
we added an additional Lanes display mode
that, as the name implies, displays horizontal
lanes that extend from the left-hand “keys”
and are tinted to differentiate the sharps and/
or flats. Note objects snap neatly into these
lanes. They are particularly useful when you
will be using Note objects to shift the pitch of
individual notes.
NOTE: The Show Lanes option is only
available when the Major, Minor or
Chromatic scales are selected. In all
other cases, the Show Lanes button will be
disabled.
