SCALE / MODE
The Scale / Mode parameter determines what scale INTONATOR HS will correct to. Scale
refers to the graduated series of notes with established intervals between each note in the
scale from the root note to its octave. By selecting the scale that matches the music of your
input pitch, you can achieve the best pitch correction with least amount of false corrections.
Some musical knowledge will come in very useful when selecting the correct Scale.
SUPPORTED SCALES AND MODES
SCALES: Major, Minor, Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor, Chromatic, Custom, Midi... For a
complete list see Scale Definitions on page 20.
SCALES AND MODES IN DEPTH
While explaining the tonal, theoretical and artistic qualities of the various Modes and Scales
are beyond the scope of this manual, four of the options must be explained in depth.
CHROMATIC SCALE
Unlike the other scales and modes, the Chromatic Scale has every key interval active across
the keyboard.This scale is best used when you do not know the key that the song is in.With
a good singer, there is a strong chance that Chromatic mode will fix all notes correctly.
However, if the singer is more than one interval out-of-tune, then using Chromatic scale can
result in false corrections.
CUSTOM SCALE
Selecting Custom Scale allows you to manually enter the note intervals by selecting the notes
on the keyboard.There is no root key for this scale type.
MANUAL MODE
Selecting the Manual Mode setting for Scale / Mode allows you to manually enter the note
from the keyboard.This is best used as an automated function, where you want no correction
except for an occasional note.
MIDI Scale
When MIDI scale is selected, the INTONATOR HS corrects to MIDI notes supplied by your
sequencer or a MIDI controller device.There can be any number of notes in a MIDI scale
(0 -11); i.e. simultaneous note-on messages are valid.

CORRECT
The CORRECT ON button allows you to enable or bypass the pitch correction. If the ON
button is highlighted, the pitch correction is switched on.
KEYBOARD
The keyboard consists of 12 buttons, reflecting one octave of a piano style keyboard.These
buttons are used for selecting and indicating the current key. All notes that belong to the
selected key are highlighted.The LEDs above the keys on the keyboard indicate the current
input pitch.
The keyboard can be used for the following operations:
• Selecting a key when in a Scale or Mode.
• Selecting the notes of a Custom Scale
• Forcing the pitch correction to a particular note when in Manual Mode
TUNING REFERENCE
It may be the case that you are working with prerecorded material that is not tuned to the
standard tuning reference of 440 Hz.With the Tuning Reference parameter, you can fine adjust
the tuning of INTONATOR HS to match the tuning of your audio.The overall tuning can be
adjusted +/-40 cents.
