Pitch Correct
Pitch correction detects the note you’re singing and processes it to make it more
precise. For example, if you’re singing a C, and it’s a little at (but not quite B), pitch
correction alters the note so that a more precise C is heard through the mixer or
P.A. Pitch correction requires you to choose a scale (or mode) and a key (or root
note) so the Vocalist
®
Live 5 knows what notes to correct to. The parameters below
control how pitch correction is applied to the lead vocal.
Typically, most singers use the PC CHROM scale for pitch correction. In this case,
the Key parameter is not used, and there is no need to change the pitch correction
scale between songs.
Scales and modes are described below using degrees, where the number 1 repre-
sents the root of the scale or mode, and is determined by the Key parameter. A
lowercase “b” indicates the note is at.
