6.3 HardTune
HardTune provides pitch correction that varies from subtle all the way up to T-Pain™ style tuning. Generally speaking, pitch correction alters your Lead vocal pitch to t
within a selected Key and Scale.
When using the Pop Major Scale, Perform-VE should be set to the correct key for your composition. You can set this manually, or you can set the key to NaturalPlay to
have Perform-VE automatically set the correction key based on the chords it detects in the incoming MIDI or audio (Aux input).
HardTune Key
HardTune Key selects NaturalPlay Pop Major Scale, Pop Major Scale in all 12 keys, or Chromatic scale.
HardTune Amount
HardTune Amount changes the amount of pitch correction
applied to your lead vocal. Higher amounts mean more
T-Pain™ for you.
Range: Natural to Slammed!
Applies to: LEAD Voice
If all you care about is keeping your voice within the dened black and white
notes on the piano keyboard, select the Chromatic scale, which is the same for
all keys.
On the other hand, if your song is in the key of C, you’d likely get more
musically pleasing results by selecting the C Pop Major scale.
This scale is the C Major scale (all white keys) with an added at 7th for the
blues-inuenced variations common in pop music.
When transposed to other keys, the Pop Major scale can denitely look
unusual. Here it is in the key of C#, just one semitone up from C.
