When you have played the entire melody, press the Learn Scale From MIDI
button again to end the process. The Edit Scale Display will now contain a
scale containing only those notes that appeared in your melody.
If you happen to have made an error during note entry, or want to try again
for any other reason, simply click the Learn Scale From MIDI button and
start the process again.
NOTE: When you start the process by pressing the Learn Scale From
MIDI button, all notes are first Removed from the chromatic scale in
preparation for adding just the notes you play. If you then press the Learn
Scale From MIDI button again without playing any notes, you will be left
with a chromatic scale with all notes removed. In that state, Auto-Tune Live
will pass all notes with no correction applied. So don’t do that.
Target Notes Via MIDI
To use the Target Notes Via MIDI function, ensure that the desired MIDI
source is routed to Auto-Tune Live, then click the Target Notes Via MIDI but-
ton. Its color will change to blue and the Edit Scale display will automatically
be set to a chromatic scale with all of the notes set to Remove. While in this
mode, Auto-Tune Live continuously monitors its MIDI input for Note On
messages. At any instant, the scale used for correction is defined by all MIDI
notes that are on. For example, if MIDI notes A, C and E are held, Auto-Tune
Live’s input will be retuned to an A, C or E, whichever is closest to the input
pitch.
The source of the MIDI input would typically be a MIDI keyboard or
sequencer track, and could consist of chords, scales, or, most powerfully,
the exact melody that the input should be corrected to.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you will not be defining Auto-Tune Live’s target
pitches via MIDI, be sure that the Target Notes Via MIDI button is o.
If it is left on and no MIDI note data is present, Auto-Tune Live will pass
through all audio unprocessed — giving the impression that Auto-Tune Live
is not functioning.
ANOTHER NOTE: We realize that there is some possibility of confusion
between the Target Notes Via MIDI function and the Learn Scale From
MIDI function described above. To clarify: Learn Scale From MIDI is used
in advance of correction to create a custom scale. Target Notes Via MIDI is
used to specify target pitches in real time while pitch correction is occurring.
