VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Although
it’s been mentioned before (and will
probably be mentioned again), we
can’t stress too strongly the extent to which the
ability to assign independent Retune Speeds
to individual correction objects streamlines
Auto-Tune Evo’s Graphical Mode workflow
and makes it easier than ever to get natural
sounding correction results.
In the past, your choice was typically picking
a Retune Speed that was a “good enough”
compromise for an entire track, or painstakingly
automating the Retune Speed from phrase to
phrase or even note to note (with the attendant
cost in time and effort). With independent
object Retune Speeds, getting exactly the
desired effect for every note of a performance
is a quick, simple, and intuitive process.
Customizable object-based default
Retune Speeds
With Auto-Tune Evo’s introduction of
independent Retune Speeds for every
correction object, we’ve added the ability to set
custom default Retune Speeds for each of the
three object types: Lines, Curves and Notes.
These are the initial Retune Speed values that
are assigned to each newly created object. (You
may, of course, modify each individual object’s
setting as needed.)
The default Retune Speeds are set in the
Options Dialog. To choose your own values,
just pay attention to what values you most
commonly use for the various objects and set
those as defaults. Update as necessary.
TIP: Your choice of default values will
depend greatly on your particular
workflow and your typical use of
the various correction objects. If, for example,
you usually use Make Curve or Import Auto
to tweak pitch while preserving all pitch
gestures, usually use Lines for quick correction
of individual out-of-tune notes, and usually
use Note Objects for precise programming of
Cher or T-Pain-style effects, you might set the
Curves default to 0, the Lines default to 20 and
the Notes default to 0.

Real-time display of output pitch
In addition to Auto-Tune’s traditional Tracked
Pitch (red) and Correction Object (blue) curves,
Auto-Tune Evo provides a new Output Pitch
(green) curve that displays the exact output
pitch based on the current Retune Speed.
This curve updates in real time as you adjust
the Retune Speed, so there’s never any doubt
about the precise effect of each setting.
Comprehensive programmable
keyboard shortcuts
The Key Bindings section in the Options Dialog
allows you to assign your most commonly used
Graphical Mode tools and controls to the 10
number keys that appear above the letter keys
on the QWERTY portion of your keyboard.
NOTE: Since some hosts reserve the
numeric keypad for host keyboard
shortcuts even when a plug-in
window is active, the Key Bindings apply only
to the number keys on the QWERTY portion of
your keyboard.
The following functions are available for
assignment:
