Tutorial 6: Graphical Mode Basics
This tutorial will introduce you to the basic
Graphical Mode functions, again using the “A2-
A3-A2 sweep” file from Tutorial 1.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import “A2-A3-A2 sweep” into a
track of your host program. 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 Graphical Mode.
4. Set the Key to “A” and the Scale to
“Major.”
5. Click the Track Pitch button.
6. Play the sweep signal through Auto-Tune 7.
A red curve representing the pitch contour
of the signal will be drawn to the screen as
the file plays.
7. Stop playback and click the Track Pitch
button again to stop the tracking function.
To continue:
1. Select the Magnifying Glass tool and drag
out a box on the Pitch Graph that encloses
the red curve. The result will be something
like the following:
2. Select the Line tool and enter a line similar
to that below. By clicking multiple anchor
points on the Pitch Graph, line segments
joining the points will be drawn.
To erase the last point entered, press <delete>
on the keyboard (you can press <delete>
repeatedly to erase back to the first anchor
point).
When done, double-click the last point or press
<esc> on the keyboard. A green output curve
will appear reflecting the current default Line
Retune Speed.
3. Set the Retune Speed to 0 and observe the
green output curve. Play back the sound to
hear the effect.
4. Select the Curve tool and create a curve
similar to the one shown below. Click and
hold the mouse button and drag to draw
the curve. When done, release the mouse
button.
5. Play back the sound to hear the effect.
6. Vary the Retune Speed between 0 and
400 and note the effect on both the green
output curve and the audio.
