About the Preserve Expression parameter
The Preserve Expression parameter controls how much vibrato in the input audio should be let through when you use
a fast Correction Speed setting (see “Setting Correction Speed”).
• With a minimum Preserve Expression value and a fast Correction Speed there will be almost no natural vibrato
left in the pitch corrected voice.
• With max Preserve Expression value and a a fast Correction Speed the original vibrato is still preserved.
• With max Preserve Expression value and a a slow Correction Speed the original audio is let through almost un-
affected.
About adding Pitch Bend and Vibrato
It’s also possible to add Pitch Bend and/or Vibrato via MIDI while using the automatic pitch correction:
D Select “To Pitch Adjust” in the MIDI Input section.
This allows for incoming MIDI Pitch Bend and Vibrato (Mod Wheel) data to control the output pitch and to add vi-
brato to the output signal.
• Clicking and moving the wheels on the panel will also generate pitch bend and vibrato.
Using manual pitch correction
It’s possible to override the automatic (scale) pitch correction settings with monophonic MIDI note data at any time.
This makes it possible to control the desired output pitches either by playing live on a MIDI master keyboard - or by
playing back recorded MIDI notes from the Neptune track in the sequencer!
1. Create a sequencer track for the Neptune device and select the Neptune track in the Track list.
2. To allow for MIDI note control of pitch correction, select “To Pitch Adjust” in the MIDI Input section:
• When you sing through Neptune and hold down a key on your MIDI master keyboard, the output pitch will cor-
respond to the held MIDI note.
As soon as any MIDI note is received by Neptune, the Root Key, Scale and Catch Zone settings will be temporarily
ignored. However, the Correction Speed (see “Setting Correction Speed”) and Preserve Expression parameters
(see “About the Preserve Expression parameter”) will still be active.
