Scale
: Type of scale. Major/minor or modes
Pitch characteristic tune!
: This button quantizes ("levels out") the pitch characteristic of selected slices.
With quantization smoothing
you can determine the "Strength" of quantization, and lower values are quantized the most.
Consequently, small pitch fluctuations always occur in natural sound sources, e.g. vibrato, disappear
("Cher effect").
Reset
: Resetting the selected slices. The orange curve is superimposed over the grey curve, and the slice is
reset to the original medium pitch.
Playback control
Reset all
: Recalculates and resets the pitch curves of the loaded material.
Stop/Play
: Stops/Starts the playback of the arrangement.
Play solo
: Only the object loaded into the editor is played.
Bypass
: Switches the effect on or off.
Tools in the Elastic Audio easy editor
You can use various tools to edit slices and the pitch curve. The two tools can be freely assigned to each
mouse button. The tool assigned to the left mouse button is displayed in blue and the right mouse button
in red. Click with the corresponding mouse button on the desired console button. An exception is the
zoom tool with which can be assigned to both mouse keys.
Selection tool (arrow)
You can now move the slice objects up and down.
This modifies the pitch of slice objects as a whole, and slice objects and curve handles can also be
selected. Multiple selection is possible with "Ctrl" or "Shift"
.
Freehand draw function
You can freely draw the pitch curve using the draw tool.
If you press "Shift" as well, a straight line will be drawn between the start position on drawing and the
current mouse position. When "Ctrl"
is pressed, the slice objects are combined when drawing.
Drawing with quantization
This is the tool used for quantized drawing.
Quantized means that the line is horizontally free but the curve snaps onto the grid of the tones of the
selected scale under "Tune".
