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...
