Description of all control elements
Edit PROJECT OBJECT box
These options and parameters always effect the whole object loaded into the editor, and therefore all of
the slices.
Algorithm
: You can choose between the modes: monophonic voice (preset), standard, smooth, and beat marker
slicing.
For more information on the algorithms, read the corresponding paragraph on the time processor!
Curve smoothing
: This parameter brings about the smoothing of the given pitch curve using a time constant (in ms). When
smoothing to a large extent, jumpy pitch-shifts change from a "kick" to a glissando.
Formant control
: Selecting the "Monophonic voice" algorithm may result in so-called formants. Formants are sound
components typical for the character of instruments or the human voice. With instruments they mainly
result from the geometry of the resonance body. Human formants are created by the anatomy of the
vocal tract.
With most algorithms the formants are also influenced by changing the pitch. Using the monophonic voice
algorithm you can change the position of the formants independent of the pitch. Acoustically, this
corresponds with stretching or compressing the above mentioned geometry, and this can lead to
interesting effects...
