Automatic Mode
Auto-Tune 5’s Automatic Mode works by
continuously tracking the pitch of an input
sound and comparing it to a user-defined
scale. The scale tone closest to the input
is continuously identified. If the input pitch
exactly matches the scale tone, no correction
is applied. If the input pitch varies from
the desired scale tone, an output pitch is
generated which is closer to the scale tone
than the input pitch. (The exact amount of
correction is controlled by the Retune Speed
and Humanize settings, described below and
in Chapter 3.)
Scales
The heart of Automatic Mode pitch correction
is the Scale. Auto-Tune 5 lets you choose
from major, minor, chromatic or 26 historical,
ethnic and micro-tonal scales. Individual scale
notes can be bypassed, resulting in no pitch
correction when the input is near those notes.
Individual scale notes can also be removed,
allowing a wider range of pitch correction
for neighboring pitches. The scale can be
detuned, allowing pitch correction to any pitch
center.
For added flexibility, you can also select the
target pitches in real time via MIDI from a MIDI
keyboard or a pre-recorded sequencer track.
