Pitch Styles Preset Details (one per voice)
Each of the four voice banks has a Pitch Styles preset selection list. This control allows pitch scooping and vibrato
effects to be added to the harmony voices. These effects can be used to increase the naturalness of vocals processed
by melody pitch tracking, produce a more polished, professional sound in the harmonies, and even to create strange
special effects. (Have you ever harmonized with a flock of sheep?)
The following table provides a list of the presets, as well as descriptions to help you decide when to use them.
