2. If a performance contains only a single
error, you can set all notes to Bypass
except the one “sour” note. Auto-Tune
5 will then pass the entire performance
through unprocessed except for the sour
note, which will be corrected.
Remove
If the Remove button is lit, then the note is
simply removed from the current scale. For
example, selecting the Chromatic scale and
then setting C#, D#, F#, G#, A# to Remove
would cause a C Major scale to remain. In that
case Auto-Tune 5 would always retune the
input to the closest note of the C Major scale.
Why set Scale notes to “Remove?”
To understand why it is sometimes necessary
to set even correct scale notes to ”Remove,“
let’s look again at the example from Chapter 2.
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 5 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 5
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.
Cents
The number in the Cents column is the
associated note’s interval, in cents, from
the root note of the scale. It’s provided for
reference purposes and to help you choose
which notes of a micro-tonal scale to include
or remove.
Set All
Clicking this button sets all notes in the current
scale to Scale Notes in all octaves. This
function is useful as a Reset button to instantly
erase all previous Remove and/or Bypass
settings and reset an edited scale to its default
state.
Remove All
Clicking this button sets all notes in the current
scale to Remove in all octaves.
Bypass All
Clicking this button sets all notes in the current
scale to Bypass in all octaves.
Set Major Scale/Set Minor Scale
When any scale that includes more than seven
notes (i.e., any non-diatonic scale) is selected,
the Set Major Scale and Set Minor Scale
buttons will appear. Clicking on either of these
buttons will “Remove” all notes from the scale
except for those notes closest to the notes
of a traditional diatonic major or minor scale
(depending, of course, on which button you
clicked).
