MIDI Input Channel

This control lets you select the MIDI channel to which Auto-Tune Live

responds. The choices are channels 1–16 or Omni (i.e., Auto-Tune Live will

respond to messages on any MIDI channel). Additionally, you can select OFF,

which turns o MIDI control, regardless of whether any controls are mapped

in the section above.

NOTE: Although these days virtually all major hosts allow the routing

of MIDI to plug-ins, there may still be a few hosts lurking out there that

do not support it. If you happen to be using one of those, the above MIDI

functions will not be selectable.

Save as default

When the “Save as default” box is checked, any changes you make to the

various Options settings are saved as defaults for all future instances of

Auto-Tune Live.

If you want to make a temporary change to an Option setting for a particular

track, but want to retain the previous default for future instances, uncheck

the “Save as default” box before clicking the Save button. Your modiﬁed

value will take eect in the current instance of Auto-Tune Live, but future

instances will revert to the previously saved value.

Bypass

Auto-Tune Live does not include a dedicated Bypass control as that function

is typically provided by the host application’s plug-in interface.

Pitch Correction Functions

Retune Speed

Retune Speed controls how rapidly the

pitch correction is applied to the incoming

sound. The units are milliseconds. A value of

zero will cause instantaneous changes from

one tone to another and will completely

suppress a vibrato (note that any related vol-

ume changes will remain). Values from 10 to

50 are typical for vocals (unless you’re going for the iconic Auto-Tune Vocal

Eect eect, in which case use 0). Larger values let through more vibrato

and other interpretative pitch gestures but also slow down how rapidly pitch

corrections are made.

Although the above suggestions can be used as starting points, ﬁnding the

correct Retune Speed setting for a particular performance is largely a matter

of trial-and-error and depends on such attributes as song tempo, note dura-

tion and vocal style, among others. As always, let your ears be your guide.
