Edit window
The pitch characteristic is shown in the editing window. To customize the pitch
correspondingly, the original pitch of the audio material must, of course, be
known. Fundamental to the functionality is therefore a preliminary pitch analysis
of the material. This is basically only for tonal, monophonic material like solo
vocals, solo instruments, and speech.
The analysis function starts automatically when the editor is opened. The
analysis requires more time with longer objects. After the analysis is complete,
the objects are split up into individual "slices" according to the recognized
pitches. The medium pitches of a slice determine its position in the graphic,
independent of the set progression of the pitch curve inside the slice. On the
borders of the slice objects, two handles are created on the pitch curve. These
handles can be moved in order to produce an increasing or decreasing pitch
characteristic, but still keep the small changes in the basic frequency (vibrato).
The “Tune” function for automatic pitch correction can be found beside the
"Draw pitch" function.

corresponding guidelines for scales can be used by selecting the basic tone
