Learn Scale From MIDI
In most cases, you will probably tell Auto-Tune 3 which notes to
correct to using the Edit Scale Display described above. However,
there may be occasions when it is not clear exactly what key a
melody line is in, or where the line has too many accidentals to
fit comfortably into a conventional scale. For those occasions,
the Make Scale From MIDI function allows you to simply play the
line into Auto-Tune 3 from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer track and let
Auto-Tune 3 construct a custom scale containing only those notes that
appear in the line.
To use the Make Scale From MIDI function, ensure that the desired MIDI
source is routed to Auto-Tune 3 and then click the Make Scale From 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.
Now simply play the melody to be corrected from your keyboard or
sequencer. Tempo and rhythm dont matter, so take your time and make
sure you dont play any wrong notes. As each note is played, the corre-
sponding Remove button in the Edit Scale Display is turned off. Assume,
for example, that your melody starts with D, B, and then A. After playing
those notes the display would look like this:
When you have played the entire melody, press the Make 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 make an error during note entry, or want to try again for
any other reason, simply click the Make Scale From MIDI button and start
the process again.
