AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER
210
Note
Here you can set the note value to transpose to, in semitone steps. If the note has a Fine-tune setting, this will be pre-
served also after the semitone Note transposition.
Fine-tune
Here you can detune the note up/down in steps of 1 cent. If you fine-tune more than +/- 50 cents, the Note value
will change and the fine-tuning will now be based on the new Note value instead. This way you will be able to use the
Fine-tune function throughout the entire MIDI note range.
Drift
Here you can attenuate the pitch drift/vibrato of the audio in the note. The default 100% keeps the pitch drift/vibrato
unaffected, and at 0% the audio in the note doesn’t contain any pitch drift/vibrato at all.
Preserve
The Preserve Expression function works in tandem with the Drift function. If you raise the Preserve Expression value,
small pitch fluctuations (vibrato and other expressions) are maintained even when you “straighten out” the note by
lowering the Drift value.
Transition
This controls the pitch transition time between the selected note and the preceding note.
There are dark blue colored transition zones in the notes themselves, which changes according to your edits. The
Transition times can be max 200 ms - or half the note length (if the note length is less than 400 ms).
Formant
Here you can edit the formant “position” of the selected note(s). Changing the Formant downwards creates a deeper
tone and changing it upwards generates a brighter tone to the vocals.
Range +/-1 octave, in steps of 0.01 semitones.
For more information about formants, please have a look at “What are formants?” in the Neptune Pitch Adjuster and
Voice Synth chapter.
Level
Here you can change the level of the selected note(s). The range is -inf to +18 dB.
