E

CTRL

Selects the method of pitch correction/shift from the
three ways 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 speci-

fying a scale from the keyboard on the
display.

F

TYPE

Sets this to an appropriate value to maximize the accu-
racy of the pitch change of the original signal. Gener-
ally, this should be set to Normal; however, for low
vocals, set this to Male, and for high vocals, set it to
Female.

G

DETECT

This determines the time resolution for pitch change.
The shorter the setting, the more quickly the pitch
change is recognized. The longer the setting, the more
slowly pitch changes are made, resulting in more
abrupt, step-like pitch changes.

H

RATE

This determines the speed resolution for pitch change.
The faster the setting, the more quickly the pitch is
changed, increasing the apparent effectiveness of the
pitch change function. When this is set to “000,” there
is no pitch change.

I

FORMANT

This determines the vocal quality (character) of the
pitch-adjusted signal. Positive (+) values result in a
higher voice quality and negative (–) values result in a
lower voice quality.

J

PITCH

This determines the octave setting 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.

K

Keyboard

The graphic keyboard can be used to specify notes
when the CTRL parameter is set to PANEL. To turn a
note on or off, move the cursor to the desired note and
press [ENTER].

• Different tracks must be specified for the source and destina-

tion.
