Instance ID
Some host applications assign numerical instance IDs to multiple instances
of the same plug-in. If your host does this, the ID will appear in a small
orange display below the Scale Edit Display. Instance IDs are useful when
you are using any of Auto-Tune Live’s MIDI functions, as they allow you
to be sure that you are routing the MIDI stream to the correct instance of
Auto-Tune Live on the desired track.
Learn Scale From MIDI
In most cases, you will probably tell Auto-Tune Live which notes are valid
scale notes using the Key and Scale popups, the Edit Scale Display, and/or
the Virtual Keyboard. However, there may be occasions when it is not clear
exactly what key a melody line is in, or where the melody line has too many
accidentals to fit comfortably into a conventional scale. For those occasions,
the Learn Scale From MIDI function allows you simply to play the melody
into Auto-Tune Live from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer track and let Auto-
Tune Live construct a custom scale containing only those notes that appear
in the melody.
To use the Learn Scale From MIDI function, ensure that the desired MIDI
source is routed to Auto-Tune Live and then click the Learn Scale From MIDI
button. Its color will change to blue and the Edit Scale display will automati-
cally be set to a chromatic scale with all of the notes set to Remove.
Now play the melody to be corrected from your keyboard or sequencer.
Tempo and rhythm don’t matter, so take your time and make sure you don’t
play any wrong notes.
As each note is played, the corresponding Remove button in the Edit Scale
Display is turned o (adding that note to the scale as a Scale Note). Assume,
for example, that your melody starts with D, B, and then A. After playing
those notes the display would look like this:
