Chapter 11 Pitch eects 221
Pitch Correction eect quantization grid
Use the Pitch Correction eect’s “normal” and “low” buttons to determine the pitch range that
you want to scan for notes that need correction. Normal is the default range and works for
most audio material. Low should be used only for audio material that contains extremely low
frequencies (below 100 Hz), which may result in inaccurate pitch detection. These parameters
have no eect on the sound; they are simply optimized tracking options for the chosen target
pitch range.
The Scale pop-up menu allows you to choose dierent pitch quantization grids. The default
setting is the chromatic scale.
The user scale is the scale that is set manually with the onscreen keyboard in the plug-in window.
If you’re unsure of the intervals used in any given scale, choose it from the Scale pop-up menu
and look at the onscreen keyboard. You can alter any note in the chosen scale by clicking the
keyboard keys. Any such adjustments overwrite the existing user scale settings.
There is only one user scale per project. You can, however, create multiple user scales and save
them as Pitch Correction plug-in settings les.
Tip: The drone scale uses a fth as a quantization grid, and the single scale denes a single note.
Neither of these scales is meant to result in realistic singing voices, but you should try them if
aiming for interesting eects.
Choose the root note of the scale from the Root pop-up menu. You can freely transpose the
major and minor scales and scales named after chords.
Note: If you choose user “scale” or “chromatic” from the Scale pop-up menu, the Root pop-up
menu entries are dimmed.
