should only open the pitch recognition before executing pitch corrections or other editing
processes.
Playback control
Reset: All pitch curves for the entire material loaded into the Elastic Audio Editor are
reset.
Bypass: Plays the arrangement without editing.
Stop/play: Stops/starts the playback of the arrangement.
Play solo: Only activated objects in the editor are played.
Toolbar
Several tools are available for processing the slices and pitch envelope. Two tools can each
be assigned to one of the two mouse buttons. The tool assigned to the left mouse button
turns blue; the function assigned to the right key is marked in red. Click with the
corresponding mouse button on the desired console button. The "Zoom" tool is an
exception: both buttons are assigned automatically.
Selection tool (arrow): Use this tool to move slice objects vertically. This modifies the pitch
of slice objects as a whole. Slice objects and curve handles may also be selected, and a
slice object lasso can be dragged out. Multiple selections are possible with the "Ctrl" or
"Shift" key.
Freehand drawing function: Use the pencil tool to draw the pitch curve freely. If the
"Shift" key is pressed, a straight line is drawn from the starting position to the current
position of the mouse. When the "Ctrl" key is also pressed, the slice objects are combined
during drawing.
Pencil tool for quantized drawing: This is the tool for quantized drawing. Quantizing
means that the line is free horizontally, but snaps into semitone steps vertically in "Relative"
mode, and to the tones of the scale selected via "tune" in "Direct" mode.
Drawing a straight line using the "Shift" key and combining slice objects with the "Ctrl" key
is also possible in "Quantized draw" mode.
Rubber handle tool: This rubber band tool may be used to bend the pitch envelope
between two neighboring handles. The range between the curve handles is moved, but the
handles themselves remain unchanged. The curve is bent inwards at the handle point. In
combination with moving the curve handles on the slice object's boundaries, you can bend
the tone envelope and thereby maintain the microtonal structures (vibrato).
Cut: Use this tool to manually split the audio material into slice objects. After automatic
pitch recognition has been applied, use the "Cut" tool to split certain passages into
