Pitch Velocity Panel 1111
Scale Animation—
Scales the clip’s pitch based on
delegate pitch.
Percentage—Specify how much to alter the pitch
based upon the difference between the delegate’s
pitch and the Base Pitch setting.
The formula used is this:
Pitch change % = (current pitch/Base Pitch -1 ) x
Percentage %
Base Pitch—Specifies the delegate pitch at which
the animation should be played back at its normal
rate.
Scale Playback Spe ed group
These settings let you scale the rate at which the
animation is played, depending upon the pitch of
the delegate. By default, when Scale Animation
is off, the object a nimation w ill always play at its
normal rate. If you turn it on, y ou can then set a
Base Pitch, at which the animation should play at
its norma l rate, plus a percentage to specify how
much the animation rate is modified by the actual
delegate pitch.
Scale Animation—Scales the clip’s animation based
on pitch.
Percentage—Specify how much to alter the
playback speed based upon the difference b etween
the delegate’s pitch and the Base Pitch setting.
The formula used is this:
Animation Speed change % = (current speed/Base
Pitch -1 ) x Percentage %
For example, if a delegate’s pitch velocity is 50
percent above its base pitch rate, and the Scale
Percentage value is 50, then the playback speed is
scaled up by 25 percent.
Base Pitch—Specifies the delegate pitch at which
the animation should be played back at its normal
rate.

To have delegate pitch velocity considered for
motion synthesis, turn on Use Pitch Velocit y,
choose Range or Unique, and then make the
appropriate settings.
Pitch velocity is determined by the rate of change
in degrees per frame of the angle of the delegate
about the world X-axis. In other words, pitch
velocity measures how fast the delegate is changing
its
pitch .
