NEPTUNE PITCH ADJUSTER AND VOICE SYNTH
848
Input signal type
Here, you define the characteristics of the input signals you use.
Low Freq
Activating Low Freq mode will ensure more accurate tracking of low-frequency audio signals, such as bass voices.
Low Freq mode is suitable for input frequencies below the note F1, which is approximately 44 Hz. The detection in
Low Freq mode will work down to approximately 22 Hz which corresponds to note F0.
! Note that the pitch detection latency will be somewhat longer in Low Freq mode due to the longer cycles times
of low frequency signals.
Wide Vibrato
If your input audio has a heavy vibrato, this can cause Neptune to detect the wrong pitches. The result can be wob-
bling notes, unwanted swoops and glides etc. Activating the Wide Vibrato button will make the pitch detection ignore
any vibrato in the input audio, eliminating the problems.
Note however that the vibrato can still be retained in the processed sound, by raising the Preserve Expression param-
eter (see “About the Preserve Expression parameter”).
Live Mode
This is an ultra-fast tracking mode, perfect for when you want to monitor your pitch adjusted signal in real-time. How-
ever, we recommend that you turn this off when it's time to play back and mix your recordings, for the highest audio
quality.
MIDI Input
The MIDI Input section features a radio button which allows you to route incoming MIDI to either of the following des-
tinations:
Pitch Adjust
Routes incoming MIDI Note data to the Pitch Adjust section for manual control of pitch correction, see “Using manual
pitch correction”. Pitch Bend and Vibrato (Mod Wheel) MIDI data will also be routed to the Pitch Adjust section.
