The Pitch Button

Pressing the Pitch button activates auto chromatic pitch
correction. For most applications, this is all that is
required to set this feature.There is no need to set Key
or Scale; all notes that you sing in the 12 tone western
chromatic scale are corrected to the nearest scale tone.

This type of vocal pitch correction is quite subtle at its
factory setting of 50% but even the most highly skilled
and on-pitch singers will hear a slight chorusing from the
PA or monitors with it engaged.

Press and hold the Pitch button to access the PITCH tab
and adjust the single parameter for this feature. Once
you see this tab, the Pitch button can be cycled on and
off to allow you to hear the difference. Press the Home
button to exit the Pitch edit tab.

AUTO-CHROMATIC AMOUNT

The factory default value of 50% is active when you
enter the PITCH edit tab. Turning the control towards
0% reduces the correction effect and turning towards

100% increases. Above 50% the effect becomes more
noticeable when you slide from note to note.This is the
effect of faster transition speed between your input note
and the closest scale tone as well as the fact that the
algorithm is trying to pull you closer to the target.

For those singers who want to use or experiment with
scale-based pitch correction and perhaps even the
jagged, modern HardTune effects, there are presets set
up specifically for this that can be found by pressing the
Wizard button and choosing CORRECT or
HARDTUNE as the Tag.
