TRACK field
• FROM TR ....................Indicates the track to be
edited (the source track).
This field is only for display,
and cannot be edited.
• TO TR/TO V.TR ...........Indicates the track and vir-
tual track to which the pro-
cessed source track will be
recorded (the destination
track). This field is only for
display, and cannot be
edited.
C
CONTROL field
Selects the method of pitch correction/shift from the
three listed below.
• SCALE ................. Specify the scale via received
MIDI notes to adjust the pitch.
For example, if you play a chord
on a connected MIDI keyboard,
the pitch is shifted by the notes
included in the chord.
• NOTE.................... The pitch is changed according
to the received MIDI note.
• PANEL.................. This lets you adjust the pitch by
specifying a scale from the key-
board on the display.
D
PARAMETERS field
• TYPE .................... Set this to an appropriate value
to maximize the accuracy of the
pitch correction. Generally this
should be set to Normal, but for
low-pitched vocals it might be
preferable to use the Male set-
ting, and for high-pitched vocals
try the Female setting.
• KEEP FORMANT button
................. When this button is engaged the
basic character (timbre) of the
voice will not change when the
pitch is corrected.
• DETECT knob ..... Determines the pitch detection
speed. The shorter the setting,
the more quickly the pitch is
detected allowing faster
response. The longer the set-
ting, the more slowly the pitch is
detected which can result in
abrupt, step-like pitch changes.
• RATE knob .......... This determines the speed of
pitch change. The faster the set-
ting, the more quickly the pitch is
changed so that pitch correction
more accurately tracks the origi-
nal signal. When this is set to
“000,” there is no pitch change.
• PITCH knob ......... This determines the octave set-
ting of the pitch-adjusted signal.
The range is from -2 to 2
octaves in semitone steps. The
integer and fraction segments of
the value are set separately.
• FORMANT knob.. This determines the vocal char-
acter (timbre) of the pitch-
adjusted signal. Positive (+) val-
ues result in a higher voice char-
acter and negative (–) values
result in a deeper voice charac-
ter.
