overall effect.

The various Humanization styles consist of various
amounts of the following modifiers:

o Onset pitch events - This is also known as

"scooping" which adds a generated pitch trajectory
for each new note that is different than the sung
note.

o Pitch modulation - a random wave generator

wobbles the pitch in non-periodic ways to simulate
even the finest singers' pitch variation.

o Timing delay and modulation - Singers are unable

to start notes at the same time with the exactness
of a machine so this algorithm applies slight delays
to the onset of notes and then adds modulated
time variation to sustained portions of notes.

o Level (volume) modulation - This effect is like a

subtle tremolo with a non-periodic or semi
random waveform that simulates the way different
singers change note volumes as they sing.

HUMANIZE AMOUNT

You can vary the amount of humanization for the
harmony voices. All the styles except for the last one:
TIME & PITCH were designed at middle values to allow
you to add or remove effects as you see fit. TIME &
PITCH was designed so you can create wild special
effects as you experiment with high values.

VIBRATO STYLE

Vibrato assists in providing separation between your dry
singing voice and the harmonies as well as to add some
movement to the rigid pitch contour in MIDI NOTES
mode harmony. Even the smallest amount of vibrato
applied to your harmony voices can achieve this. Like the
HUMANIZE effects, each voice is treated slightly
differently by the VIBRATO algorithm so the voices don’t
all sound exactly the same.There are 7 styles available in
progressively more intensity as you browse down the
list.
