Global Pitch Correct parameter
Use the Global Pitch Correct parameter to apply
auto-chromatic pitch correction to your incom-
ing microphone signal. This feature is separate
from the HardTune effect block and will be over-
ridden when HardTune is active.
We like to think of Global Pitch Correction as “a
little help”, gently guiding you to the next nearest
semitone at all times. Since this correction is al-
ways chromatic, you can still sing a “wrong” note
(relative to the current key/scale of your song),
but it does help with your overall pitch.
Parameter range: 0 to 100%
Try a setting of circa 40% for a transparent
sound.
If you hear “phasing” between your natural voice
and corrected voice, this is totally normal.

Lead Delay parameter
Use the Lead Delay parameter to apply latency
compensation between your lead voice and ef-
fects.
Parameter settings:
None
Your lead voice is passed through the unit as
quickly as possible, regardless of the number of
effects and their latency.
Voice Sync
Your lead voice is dynamically delayed (ever so
slightly) so that any generated voices – such as
Harmony – are “lined up” together perfectly. The
amount that your lead voice can be delayed is
dependent on the number of generated voices.
Auto
Similar to Voice Sync, Auto delays your lead
voice relative to the overall latency of all active
effects, not just generated voices. While this
mode is the most accurate in terms of timing, it
can also introduce the most significant feeling
that “what you sing” comes “out of the box” a
split second later. For some, this latency is un-
noticeable, for others, it’s distracting.
Try the various modes to determine which one
works best for the “feeling” and the resulting
sound output.
Lead Mute parameter
Use the Lead Mute parameter to mute all incom-
ing lead vocal signals.
Parameter settings: on/off.
When Lead Mute is on, it mutes either micro-
phone or line level signals, whichever is plugged
into the combo jack. Lead Mute is great for “post
processing” prerecorded dry vocals.
Post processing prerecorded dry vocals:
► Send the “dry” vocal from your DAW to the
Mic/Line input.
► Turn Lead Mute on.
► Record the resulting effects-only signal to a
new track in your DAW.
► Blend the original “dry” vocal track and new
“wet” vocal tracks together in the mix.
