ECTION
:
The Segmentation section allows you to select conditions by which Tune will segment the
correction curve into notes. These conditions set the “rules” of the Correction Grid in
determining whether or not a note is “legal.” This section has two main parts: Scale
Selection and Tolerance Parameters.
Root and Scale
(pop up menu items):
The Root pop-up defines the root note for the selected scale. The default scale is a 12
semitone (half-step) equal tempered chromatic scale. Since the notes in a scale will define
the correction grid, a selected scale preset will adjust the number of notes, as well as the
Note Status (legal vs. illegal.) The grid serves as a table of possible “correct to” pitch
values which are designated according to the detected input pitch.
Default Scale: Chromatic.
Default Root: Grayed out - will become available when scale is changed.
Clicking on the Edit Scale button allows you to further change and manipulate the scale.
Tolerance:
The Tolerance control works between the detection and the assignment of target notes
(segments.) It sets a couple of rules, making the target note hold to the current target
unless the change lasts for more then the Tolerance time, or is steeper then a defined
Slope. This allows marginal detunes and small “getaways” to maintain the same target
and move to a new note only when the change is more significant than the Tolerance
value.
Vibrato Segmentation Button:
The Vibrato button enables detection of natural vibrato in the track. Tune will segment a
section with detected vibrato so that the target note of the selection is the average pitch of
the vibrato. A red highlight will appear over segments in which natural vibrato was
detected.
On/Off, default off.
The detection of natural vibrato is not always perfect and some false detection might
occur. If you apply vibrato re-segmentation onto a section that does not have natural
vibrato, it might cause artifacts or clicks. Try using Natural Vibrato for selections in which
you think there is vibrato to detect and see whether Tune’s vibrato segmentation is
helpful. Working with vibrato is as much an art as a science.
Natural Vibrato has separate controls for segmentation in the Segmentation section and
manipulation control in the Vibrato section. Although these two applications both rely on
the same type of vibrato detection processes, You will only have the option to use the
