New Pitch Graph display mode
The Pitch Graph Display’s default mode
displays horizontal lines that represent each
pitch. Prior to Auto-Tune Evo, this was Auto-
Tune’s only display mode and is still probably
the most useful mode with Curve and Line
correction objects.
However, with the introduction of Note objects,
we have added an additional Lanes display
mode that, as the name implies, displays
horizontal lanes that extend from the left-hand
“keys” and are tinted to differentiate the sharps
and/or flats. Note objects snap neatly into these
lanes and they are particularly useful when you
will be using Note objects to shift the pitch of
individual notes.
NOTE: The Show Lanes option is only
available when the Major, Minor or
Chromatic scales are selected. In all
other cases, the Show Lanes button will be
disabled.
Click the Show Lanes button to toggle its state.
The button will turn blue when Show Lanes
mode is on (but of course when Show Lanes
mode is on, the Pitch Graph is full of Lanes, so
it’s pretty hard to get confused about which
mode you’re in).
NOTE: You can switch back and forth
between display modes at any time.
Switching modes has no effect on
any previous correction objects. So you could,
for example, use the default graph mode for
creating and tweaking some curves in one
section of your track, and then switch to Lanes
mode to create and edit some Notes objects in
a different section of the track. Your previously
created and edited curves would remain
unaffected.
Global Transposition
In addition to any pitch correction applied
by Graphical Mode editing, the Transpose
control lets you shift the overall pitch of your
performance over a two octave range (+/-
one octave), selectable in precise semitone
increments.
When used in Graphical Mode, the Transpose
function does not affect the Pitch Edit Display.
It provides overall transposition after any pitch
shifting accomplished with the graphical editing
tools.
Although you can also accomplish overall
transposition in Graphical Mode by selecting
all the correction objects in your track and
manually moving them up or down, in most
cases, using the Transpose function will provide
superior results.
NOTE: If you are transposing more
than a semitone or two and your
intent is to preserve the performer’s
vocal character, be sure to engage the Formant
Correction function described below.
The default Transpose setting is 0 semitones
(i.e., no transposition). Double-clicking or
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) clicking the
Transpose knob will reset it to that value.
Formant correction
(Native versions only)
The Formant control operates in Graphical
Mode exactly as it does in Automatic Mode.
We could paste the exact same text in here,
but why waste paper. Go read the description
in the Auto Mode section (if you haven’t
already).
Throat modeling (Native versions only)
Same here. Just like Auto Mode.
