The Pitch Styles are especially useful for harmonies generated from MIDI tracks, because these lack any vibrato.
Now by applying these pitch effects, you can get a natural sounding vibrato for these harmonies.
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.
Style Name Description
1 B Natural Vibrato This is a very subtle vibrato along with pitch effect that causes the harmony voice
to slightly scoop up into some notes, making it seem more distinct from the lead
voice.
2 Ballad Rock Vibrato A Rock vibrato typically used in slower pieces.
3 Broadway Vibrato The classic vibrato of the New York Show-Tune sound.
4 Classic Rock Vibrato Classic Rock - A rich and potent sound.
5 Crooner Vibrato The classic sound of the Las Vegas entertainers.
6 Deep Jazz Vibrato Reminiscent of the great Jazz singers of the 1950s.
