Pitch Button Overview
Pressing the Pitch button activates Auto Chro-
matic 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 en-
gaged.
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 but-
ton can be cycled on and off to allow you to hear
the difference. Press the Home button to exit the
Pitch edit tab.
f 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 it. 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 choos-
ing CORRECT or HARDTUNE as the Tag.
