Set Major Scale/Set Minor Scale
When any scale that includes more than seven notes
(i.e., any non-diatonic scale) is selected, the Set Major
Scale and Set Minor Scale buttons will appear. Clicking
on either of these buttons will “Remove” all notes
from the scale except for those notes closest to the
notes of a traditional diatonic major or minor scale
(depending, of course, on which button you clicked).
Auto-Tune 3 MIDI Functions
Auto-Tune 3 contains two new functions that require it to receive MIDI
data from the host application. Depending on your intent, this data could
come in real time from a MIDI controller (typically a keyboard) or from a
pre-recorded MIDI sequencer track. Refer to your host application’s
manual for details on how to route MIDI to Auto-Tune 3.
Please note that some host applications may not support the routing of
MIDI information to plug-ins. In that case the following two functions will
not be selectable.
Target Notes Via MIDI
To use the Target Notes Via MIDI function, ensure that the
desired MIDI source is routed to Auto-Tune 3, then click the
Target Notes Via MIDI button. Its associated “LED” will light 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 3 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 3’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 3’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
3 will pass through all audio unprocessed — giving the impres-
sion that Auto-Tune 3 is not functioning.
