Using V-Vocal (Producer and Studio only)
Vibrato. After you select the region you want to redetect, choose from these options the following
submenus.
• Standard 1. Generally, you do not need to select this option, because it is used to detect
pitch as soon as you create a V-Vocal clip. If you decide to use another method, but change
your mind and want to use this method, you can select this method to recreate the original
data.
• Standard 2. This is a general pitch detection setting that often performs better on styles with
deeper vibratos.
• Deep Vibrato. Special purpose pitch detection method for phrases that contain very deep
vibratos; this detection method tends to create longer center pitches, but may detect multiple
notes as a single note.
• Precision. Special purpose pitch detection method for very high resolution pitch detection of
phrases; this detection method will create more accurate center pitches for styles containing
fast variations of pitch. This method, however, may divide a single vibrato section into multiple
pitches.
• LFO Pen Type. Select the type of the waves of vibrato added by the Vibrato tool.

V-Vocal pitch-to-MIDI
V-Vocal is able to convert pitch to MIDI. V-Vocal data can be dragged from V-Vocal and dropped
onto a MIDI track in SONAR’s Clips pane.
Pitch to MIDI settings
To open the Pitch to MIDI Settings dialog box, right-click in the V-Vocal Edit pane and select Pitch
to MIDI Settings from the pop-up menu.
There are two parameters that affect the generated MIDI data.
Pitch Bend Range. This setting is used to specify the pitch bend range to use when converting
fine pitch changes to MIDI. The Pitch Bend Range value is specified in semitones and the range is
1-24. The default value is 2 semitones.
Time Resolution (ticks). This setting is used to specify the tick interval between pitch bend
events. The choices are 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120, and the default value is 20 ticks.
Use Pitch Bend. This setting specifies whether or not the converted MIDI data will include Pitch
Wheel events.
To convert pitch-to-MIDI
Click the Pitch to MIDI button and drag onto a MIDI track in SONAR’s Clips pane.
A MIDI representation of the post-correction V-Vocal audio data is copied to the MIDI track.
