Pitch Correction
The Pitch Correction plug-in features the additional Reference Pitch parameter, which
enhances the accuracy of the plug-in.
It is often the case that the intonation of a vocal line is slightly sharp or flat throughout
an entire song. The Reference Pitch parameter addresses this issue at the input of the
pitch detection process. Set the Reference Pitch to reflect the constant pitch deviation
in cent values. This allows the pitch correction to perform more accurately.
The Correction Amount meter display has also been improved: there is an additional
red marker that indicates the average correction amount over a longer time period.
The additional Detune parameter detunes the incoming signal by the set value.
There is also a small graphical change: The Use Global Tuning button was moved from
the right to the left side of the interface.
Vocal Transformer
The Vocal Transformer offers three additional parameters in the 001/011 view.
 Glide—determines the amount of time the vocal transformation takes, allowing
sliding transitions to the set Pitch value.
 Grain Size—The Vocal Transformer’s algorithm is based on granular synthesis. The
Grain Size parameter allows you to set the size of the grains, and thus affect the
precision of the process. Experiment to find the best setting. Try “Auto” first.
 Formants menu—Enables you to determine whether the Vocal Transformer plug-in
processes all formants (“Process always” option), or only the voiced ones (“Keep
unvoiced formants” option). The “Keep unvoiced format” option leaves the typical
sibilant noise of a vocal performance untouched. For some applications, this setting
will produce a more “natural” sounding transformation effect.
