Applications of the Elastic Audio easy editor
Pitch correction (intonation correction) with monophonic audio material
Getting started (for all subsequent editing):

Load objects into the Elastic Audio easy editor.

Set the desired selection state. All slices are selected directly after the analysis.

Select suitable algorithms – you should test here to see if "monophonic voice" (see above) is the
suitable algorithm.

Now the pitch can be edited with the mouse tools by editing the orange curve or the pitch of the
slice objects.
Manual correction of the whole pitch of a pitch slice

Select the slice with the selection tool (arrow).

Move vertically with the mouse.
Automatic correction of the pitch characteristic

Select the slice objects with the selection tool (arrow).

Select the scale in the Edit slice objects group and, if required, deselect the tones which are not
to be quantized in the keyboard by clicking on them.

Press the "Tone pitch characteristics" button

With the parameter "Quantization smoothing" you can reduce the "strength" of the quantization.
In principle, this editing process more or less levels off pitch characteristics inside a slice.
Correction of the increase or decrease in the pitch.

Select the slice objects with the selection tool (arrow).

Click and drag the pitch curve by moving the two handles at each end of the slice objects or on
the orange lines.
Free redefinition of the pitch / Creation of frequency modulations like warblers and vibrato.

Select the slices with the Selection tool (arrow).

Select the drawing tool (quantized or not).

Draw in the pitch modulations.
Creating "Plastic voices" (Removing vibrato by strong quantization of the micro pitch
characteristic)

Set the parameter Quantization smoothing to 0.

Press the "Tone pitch characteristics" button

If required, switch off format correction when using the "Monophonic voice" algorithm.
Creating "Robot voices" – quantizing to a pitch

Select the slice(s) with the selection tool (arrow).

Select the draw tool for quantized drawing.

With artifacts: Increase the "Quantization smoothing" parameter.
Creation of parallel voices

Set desired chord.

If necessary, change the "Humanize" parameter and press "Create voices" to generate the voices
again.
Pitch-sliced-objects and VIP objects
The basic frequency analysis reduces the pitch slices to pieces which ideally correspond to one note in
the music's melody or one syllable in speech. For speech the pitches correspond to the level of the
vowels.
After the analysis, all of the slices are shown selected (blue).
The subdivision into slices can be corrected manually. The slices are cut apart with the scissors tool, and
then merged together with the rubber band gripper tool ("Ctrl" held down).
