If the scale selected in the Scale popup contains exactly 12 notes (e.g.,
Chromatic, Pythagorean, Meantone Chromatic, Just, etc.), the Virtual
Keyboard (see below) will be active and any edits to the scale notes made in
the Edit Scale Display will also be reflected on the Virtual Keyboard.
NOTE: Although Auto-Tune Live allows setting scale note behaviors in
individual octaves, any edits made via the Edit Scale Display will aect
all octaves. To edit notes in individual octaves, use the Virtual Keyboard.
Bypass
If the Bypass button is lit, when the input pitch is close to this note the input
will be passed through with no correction.
Why set Scale notes to “Bypass?”
There are two main reasons to set one or more scale notes to “Bypass.”
1. If a performance includes pitch gestures around one or more specific
notes that you want to preserve with no modification whatsoever, you
can set just those notes to Bypass. This lets Auto-Tune Live correct any
pitch problems elsewhere in the scale but passes everything near the
bypassed notes completely unprocessed.
2. If a performance contains only a single error, you can set all notes to
Bypass except the one “sour” note. Auto-Tune Live will then pass the
entire performance through unprocessed except for the sour note,
which will be corrected.
Remove
If the Remove button is lit, then the note is simply removed from the cur-
rent scale. For example, selecting the Chromatic scale and then setting C#,
D#, F#, G#, A# to Remove would cause a C Major scale to remain. In that
case Auto-Tune Live would always retune the input to the closest note of
the C Major scale.
Why set Scale notes to “Remove?”
To understand why it is sometimes necessary to set even correct scale notes
to ”Remove,“ let’s look again at the example from Chapter 2.
