The default Retune Speed value is 20. Double-clicking or Command (Mac)/
Control (PC) clicking the Retune Speed knob will reset it to that value.
Humanize
One situation that can be problematic is a
performance that includes both very short notes
and longer sustained notes. The problem is that
in order to get the short notes in tune, you’d
have to set a fast Retune Speed, which would
then make any sustained notes sound unnatu-
rally static. Luckily, the Humanize function easily
solves this problem.
The Humanize function dierentiates between short and sustained notes
and lets you apply a slower Retune Speed just to the sustained notes. Thus,
the short notes are in tune and the sustained notes still allow the natural
variations of the original performance.
Here’s how it works:
Start by setting Humanize to 0 and adjusting the Retune Speed until the
shortest problem notes in the performance are in tune. At this point, any
sustained notes may sound unnaturally static. If so, start advancing the
Humanize control. The higher the Humanize setting, the more the Retune
Speed is slowed for sustained notes. The goal is to find the point where the
sustained notes are also in tune and just enough of the natural variation
in the performance is present in the sustained notes to sound natural and
realistic. (If you set Humanize too high, any problem sustained notes may
not be fully corrected.)
This is another of those settings where you have to let your ears be your
guide. The optimum Humanize setting for any particular performance will
depend on the performance style, the other parameter settings and the
specific eect you desire.
The default Humanize setting is 0. Double-clicking or Command (Mac)/
Control (PC) clicking the Humanize knob will reset it to that value.
Natural Vibrato
The Natural Vibrato function allows
real-time modification (either increase or
decrease) of the depth of any vibrato pres-
ent in the input audio while preserving the
original shape and character of the vibrato.
