Scale: Select the type of scale, i.e. the sound make-up/mode. Choose from "Major",
"Minor", "Harmonic minor", "Pentatonic", and "Chromatic".
Tune pitch property: This button causes quantization or leveling of the pitch of selected
slices.
Quantization smoothing: Set the strength of the quantization (lower values quantize hard).
This results in the disappearance of repeated small pitch alternations in natural sound
sources, for example, Vibrato ("Cher effect").
Mid pitch tuning: Quantize the mid slice pitch of selected slices. The corresponding
sections of the pitch contour of a slice object are moved as one and adapted to the
median pitch. Pitch fluctuations within a slice object remain the same.
Note: A requirement for automatic correction is the tuning of the slice pitch (pitch ->
detection).
The results of the calculation of mid pitches for slices with glissandi often do not
correspond to the pitches that human hearing assigns to them. In this case, automatic
correction of the mid pitches does not produce satisfactory results. Removal of the
glissando passage by manually changing the slice borders (keyboard shortcut: "Ctrl" and
rubber handle tool) or the splitting of slices can help.
Reset: This command resets the selected slices. The orange curve is superimposed over
the grey curve and the slice is reset to the original medium pitch.
Harmonizer
Use the harmonizer to add additional voices to the object. Please note that the harmonizer
is only available in "Direct" mode via the "Monophonic voice" algorithm. Format correction
is required for a satisfactory result which is only possible with this algorithm.
Chord: Select the chord created by the voices that are to be added if the "Harmonic
adjustment" parameter has been selected as well.
If "Harmonic adjustment" is deselected anyway, the voices are sent such that they are
overlaid onto the sounds set in "Edit slice object". The set chord then only serves as a
"guideline".
Humanize A "human touch" can be set by moving the individual voices more or less subtly
beside one another.
Harmonic adjustment: Activating this field makes the voices run parallel to one another
and correspond to the set chord.
Create voices: Use this button to recreate parallel voices.
Pitch (fundamental frequency)
Detection: Use this button to start the basic frequency analysis. Here, the absolute pitches
are displayed graphically in the Elastic Audio editor. This function is indispensable for
