6. Stop playback and click the Track Pitch
button again to stop the tracking function.
7. Click the Import Auto button. A blue curve
will appear. This curve represents the
pitch correction that would result from
processing the audio with the current
Automatic Mode settings. Note all the
instances in which Auto-Tune 7 identifies
G# or F# as the target pitch.
8. Set Auto-Tune 7 back to Automatic Mode.
9. Set Targeting Ignores Vibrato to On.
10. Return once again to Graphical Mode.
11. Click Import Auto (there is no need to track
pitch again, as the red pitch curve is still
present in the Pitch Graph).
12. Notice that the blue curve is now a straight
line on “G,” indicating that the Improved
Targeting algorithm has accurately
identified the pitch excursions as vibrato
and has therefore ignored it as far as target
pitch selection is concerned.
Tutorial 3: Natural Vibrato Function
This tutorial will demonstrate the use of the
Natural Vibrato function using the same audio
file we used in the previous tutorial.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import “wide_vibrato” into a track
of your host program. This is a recording of
a male voice singing a sustained “G” with
a pronounced vibrato. Play the track so that
you are familiar with the original audio.
2. Set up Auto-Tune 7 to be an insert effect on
that track.
3. Set Auto-Tune 7 to Automatic Mode.
4. Set the Key to “C” and the Scale to
“Chromatic.”
5. Set the Input Type to Low Male Voice
6. Set Retune Speed to a value of 24.
7. Set “wide_vibrato” to loop continuously
and put your host program into Play mode.
8. Set Natural Vibrato to 12 and note the
effect on the vibrato. Set Natural Vibrato to
-12 and note the effect on the vibrato.
9. Set all Scale notes to Bypass to disable
any pitch correction. Again, adjust Natural
Vibrato as in Step 8 and note that its effect
is still active.
Tutorial 4: Using the Automatic
Mode MIDI Functions
This tutorial will introduce you to Auto-Tune 7’s
two Automatic Mode MIDI functions: Learn
Scale From MIDI and Target Notes Via MIDI.
With Learn Scale From MIDI, you can create
the correct scale for a particular melody without
knowing a G-sharp from a B-flat. Simply
play the melody on a MIDI keyboard which
is patched through your host application to
Auto-Tune 7 or play an existing MIDI file with
contains the MIDI notes of the melody to be
processed.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import the audio file “somewhere”
into a track of your host program. This is a
recording of Somewhere Over the Rainbow
sung with fairly extreme pitch errors. (Our
very talented singer made us promise to
tell you that she did this on purpose at our
request.)
2. Set up Auto-Tune 7 to be an insert effect on
that track.
3. Import the MIDI file “somewhere.mid” into
your host program’s MIDI sequencer.
4. Select Auto-Tune 7 as the target for the
MIDI track.
5. Select Automatic Mode and click the
“Learn Scale from MIDI” button so that
it turns blue and its indicator changes to
“On.”
6. Click the All Octaves button so that it turns
blue (if it is not already).
7. Play the MIDI file through once and watch
