Algorithm
: You can choose between the modes: monophonic voice (preset), standard, smooth, and beat marker
slicing.
For more information on the algorithms, read the corresponding paragraph on the time processor!
Curve smoothing
: This parameter brings about the smoothing of the given pitch curve using a time constant (in ms). When
smoothing to a large extent, jumpy pitch-shifts change from a "kick" to a glissando.
Formant control
: Selecting the "Monophonic voice" algorithm may result in so-called formants. Formants are sound
components typical for the character of instruments or the human voice. With instruments they mainly
result from the geometry of the resonance body. Human formants are created by the anatomy of the
vocal tract.
With most algorithms the formants are also influenced by changing the pitch. Using the monophonic voice
algorithm you can change the position of the formants independent of the pitch. Acoustically, this
corresponds with stretching or compressing the above mentioned geometry, and this can lead to
interesting effects...
HARMONIZER box
Chord
: Here you can set the chord that makes up the parallel voices of the harmonizer, and a distinction is
made between major and minor. The settings of the keyboard are taken into account, unless the option
"Lead voice" has been activated.
Humanize
: At a low setting this causes high quantization of the parallel voices and makes the effect sound very
artificial. If you select a very high humanize value, the pitches of the individual voices will vary and the cue
will be shifted so that you get the impression of an amateur ensemble.
Create voices
: This button generates voices.
Harmonic adjustment
: Parallel voices are usually generated by taking the keyboard and humanize settings into account.
However, if this option is deactivated, then the voices are always kept exactly parallel to the orange
curve.

Basic tone
: Basic tone of the scale. In the chromatic scale this setting is still not taken into account.
