This phrase is in D Major and, if all the pitch errors were no greater than

about 49 cents, would work fine with a standard D Major scale (D, E, F# ,

G, A, B, C# ). However, the pitch error of three semitones at the end of the

last note is so large that with B and C# present in the Scale, as the pitch

fell, Auto-Tune would see first C# and then B as the target pitch and

therefore allow the error to remain. With C# and B removed from the

Scale, Auto-Tune continues to see D as the target pitch for the entire

duration of the note and therefore pulls the phrase up to the correct

pitch.

A NOTE ABOUT SCALE EDITS: While you remain in a preset, you can

make edits to multiple scales and the AVP will remember the edits and

allow you to switch between the edited scales (e.g., to evaluate the

effect of various scale settings on the correction of a particular perfor-

mance). However, if you select another preset without first saving the

first preset, all of your scale edits will be lost. Furthermore, since an AVP

preset includes only the scale selected at the time it was saved, be sure

your desired scale is selected before saving the preset, as any edits to

other scales will also be lost.

Speed Page

Correction Speed

(0 is fast): 7

The Speed control determines how rapidly pitch correction is applied to

the incoming sound. Values range from 0 to 25. A value of zero will cause

instantaneous changes from one note to another and will completely

suppress a vibrato and any purposeful expressive pitch variations (note

that any related volume changes will remain). This will result in what has

become known as the “Cher effect.”

Values from 6 to 10 are typical for vocals. Higher values allow more

vibrato and other interpretative pitch gestures, but will slow down the

rate at which pitch corrections are made.

Although the above suggestions can be used as starting points, finding

the correct Speed setting for a particular performance is largely a matter

of trial-and-error and depends on such attributes as song tempo, note

duration and vocal style, among others.
