Auto-Tune Sensitivity Page
Auto-Tune
Sensitivity: 10
The Sensitivity parameter ranges from 0 to 25 and controls exactly what its
name implies. At settings of 0–9, you will be rude and boorish to those
who love you most, wish harm upon small furry animals, and enjoy the
Jerry Springer Show. From 10–20 you will (in varying degrees), see the
good in every situation, cry openly in public (especially if you are male),
and be in close touch with your inner child. From 21–25 you’ll be in close
touch with everybody’s inner child.
OK, we’re kidding about that. (And those of you who are not in the USA,
please forgive the North American-centric references.)
Actually, in order to accurately identify the pitch of the input, the AVP’s
Auto-Tune module requires a periodically repeating waveform, character-
istic of a voice or solo instrument. The Sensitivity control determines how
much variation is allowed in the incoming waveform for the AVP to still
consider it periodic.
If you are working with a well-isolated solo signal (e.g., tracking in a
studio or off of a multi-track tape) you can typically set the Sensitivity
control to 10 and forget it.
If, on the other hand, your signal is noisy or not well-isolated (as might be
more common in a live performance situation), it may be necessary to
allow more signal variation (higher Sensitivity numbers). However, if you
back off too much, the AVP’s ability to detect pitch may be affected.
As a rule, you should start with settings of about 7 to 10. If you want to
detect only highly stable sounds in low-noise conditions, settings of from 2
to 5 may be appropriate. If there is ambient noise or other interfering
sounds, try settings of from 15 to 20. Values close to zero or 25 are ex-
treme, and will typically not do anything useful.
