•
At a value of 0, the FM tone generator is disabled and a sawtooth wave is generated.
•
At values above 0, the FM tone generator is activated. Higher values result in a more
complex and brighter sound.
•
Coarse Tune eld: Drag to set the pitch oset of the oscillator in semitones.
•
Fine Tune eld: Drag to set the pitch oset in cents. One cent equals 1/100 of a semitone.
Use tracking oscillator pitch parameters
The tracking oscillator pitch parameters control the automatic pitch correction feature of the
tracking oscillator. They can be used to constrain the pitch of the tracking oscillator to a scale
or chord. This allows subtle or strong pitch corrections and can be used creatively on unpitched
material with high harmonic content, such as cymbals and high-hats.
Tracking oscillator pitch parameters
•
Pitch Quantize Strength slider: Drag to determine how pronounced the automatic pitch
correction is.
•
Pitch Quantize Glide slider: Drag to set the amount of time pitch correction takes, allowing
sliding transitions to quantized pitches.
•
Root/Scale keyboard: Click notes to dene the pitch or pitches that the tracking oscillator is
quantized to.
•
Root/Scale pop-up menu: Click below Scale to choose the scale that the tracking oscillator is
quantized to.
Note: There are two discrete elds available for this parameter—Root and Scale. The Root
(key) can be changed independently of the scale chosen in the pop-up menu.
•
Max Track eld: Drag to set the highest frequency. All frequencies above this threshold are cut,
making pitch detection more robust. If pitch detection produces unstable results, reduce this
parameter to the lowest possible setting that allows all appropriate input signals to be heard
or processed.
Choose a root or scale
1 Click the green value eld under Scale to open the pop-up menu.
2 Choose the scale or chord you want to use as the basis for pitch correction.
Note: You can also set the root key of the chosen scale or chord by vertically dragging the Root
(key) eld, or by double-clicking the root note and entering a root key between C and B. The
Root parameter is not available when the Root/Scale value is set to “chromatic” or “user.”
Add notes to, or remove notes from, the chosen scale or chord
m To add notes to the scale or chord: Click unused keys on the small keyboard to highlight them
in green.
m To remove notes from the scale or chord: Click selected notes, which then are no
longer highlighted.
Tip: Your last edit is remembered. If you choose a new scale or chord but do not make any
changes, you can revert to the previously set scale by choosing “user” from the Root/Scale
pop-up menu.
