This function uses the same Stochastic Optimal Linear Estimation Theory
as the Targeting Ignores Vibrato function (described below) to dierentiate
between vibrato and intended pitch changes, adjusting the vibrato depth
while leaving intended pitch changes intact.
The Natural Vibrato function acts independently of the pitch correction
functions. Of particular note is the fact that setting a scale note or notes
to Bypass still allows vibrato adjustment for those notes. So, if you want to
adjust a performance’s vibrato while making no other pitch changes, you
can simply set all scale notes to Bypass and still use the Natural Vibrato
function to adjust vibrato depth.
NOTE: This function acts only on vibrato present in the original perfor-
mance. If the original performance does not contain vibrato, this control
will have no audible eect.
ANOTHER NOTE: Natural Vibrato adjustments function independently
of the Create Vibrato functions described below. However, since both
functions can operate simultaneously, they can interact in ways that may
or may not be useful, depending on your intent. In most cases, you should
probably use one or the other.
The default Natural Vibrato setting is 0. Double-clicking or Command (Mac)/
Control (PC) clicking the Natural Vibrato knob will reset it to that value.
Targeting Ignores Vibrato
Target note identification is the process by which
Auto-Tune decides which note is the note the
performer intended to sing or play, so that it may
re-tune any pitch errors closer to that note. Normally,
the target note is the nearest active scale note to the
current input pitch.
The Targeting Ignores Vibrato feature is designed to help with target
note identification when the performance includes vibrato so wide that
it approaches adjacent scale notes. The most common symptom of this
problem is a pronounced “warbling” as the input is alternately tuned to
each of the upper and lower adjacent notes.
When this function is ”On,“ Auto-Tune Live uses the impressively named
Stochastic Optimal Linear Estimation Theory to attempt to recognize
vibrato and dierentiate between it and intended note changes. Our test-
ing has shown that it works a lot of the time — but not always (it depends
a great deal on the actual performance). When it works, Auto-Tune Live
ignores the wide vibrato as far as target note selection is concerned. When
