Fixing the pitch of vocals/Adding a backing chorus to vocals (Vocal Tool Box)
Rev0.02
Smooth 0–100
This setting determines how quickly pitch correction will react to
changes of pitch in the original vocal part. Large values result in a
longer time before correction is applied; consequently, changes in pitch
will be more gradual. Small values produce rapid changes in pitch.
Corrections that are made too rapidly seem robotic. However, if
the correction is too smooth, in some cases it may appear as if
no correction has been applied. For natural sounding pitch
corrections, set the value in a range between 20 and 40.
5. Press [F3] (BLOCK<=).
The Pitch Correction Edit screen will appear.

Making Detailed Settings for Pitch
Correction (Correction Event Map)
In the procedures described thus far, what has been
explained is how to correct the overall pitch for the entire
song, from start to finish, in semitone increments.
In actual practice, however, there may be situations where
you want to correct only a certain section or adjust the pitch
differently. In such instances, use the following procedure.
1. Start by switching to BOUNCE mode and selecting the
patch to which pitch correction is to be applied.
2. Press [F1] (EDIT) in the Vocal Tool Box pitch selection
screen.
The Pitch Correction Edit screen appears.

3. Press [F2] (MAP EDIT).
The Correction Event Map screen appears.
fig.03-366d
In the Correction Event Map screen, you can input the
time at which you want the pitch correction to start as
well as the pitch.
Taken together, this timing and pitch data is referred to
as a “correction event.”
fig.03-367
You can make corrections freely at the desired points in
the song by arranging correction events in the sequence
they occur.
The sequence of correction events with the information
they contain is called a “correction event map.”
Initially, only one correction event, “AUTO,” is input at
the beginning of the correction event map.
