6. In TDM, set Bypass ‘off’. In Cubase, click on “Pre” in the channel’s audio
monitor and drag the slider all the way down. Play the sound again.
What you just heard was an A major scale. This is because Auto-Tune con-
tinuously compared the input pitch to the A major scale and corrected the
output pitch so that the output was closer in pitch to the scale tones. Now
do the following:
1. Press the Edit Scale button.
The left most column is labelled Òdo not trackÓ. Clicking in this column
places a ÒchkÓ indicator. This has the effect that when the pitch of the
incoming sound is close to a tone so edited, the output pitch is not changed
from the input. This is like a pitch dependent bypass.
The next column is labeled ÒremoveÓ. Clicking in this column causes the
tone to be removed from the scale, as if it were never there to begin with.
2. Press the mouse when the cursor is under the “remove” column so that
the “chk” symbol appears next to the tones B, D, F# and G#. The dialog
will appear
3. Press Done and play the sound again.
You just heard a A-major triad because you had removed all other tones
from the scale.
