additional editing steps you may wish to make in "Direct" mode. For this reason you should
only open the pitch recognition before executing pitch corrections or other editing
processes.
Playback control
Reset: All pitch curves of the entire material loaded into the Elastic Audio editor are
reset.
Bypass: The arrangement is played 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 can 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: You can use the pencil tool to draw the pitch curve freely. If
you press the "Shift" key, 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
when 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 in "tune" in "Direct" mode.
Drawing a straight line using the "Shift" key and compiling slice objects with the "Ctrl" key is
also possible in "Quantized draw" mode.
Rubber handle tool: This rubber band tool can be used to bend the pitch envelope
between two neighboring handles. The range between the curve handles is moved, the
handles themselves remain unchanged. The curve is bent inwards at the handle point. In
combination with moving the curve handles at the slice object's boundaries, the pitch
envelope can be bent to maintain microtonal structures (vibrato).
Cut: Use this tool to manually split the audio material into slice objects. After automatic
pitch recognition has been carried out, use the "Cut" tool to split certain passages into
