Antares Auto-Tune
Pitch Controller
The Pitch Controller is used to force the
input to an exact pitch. Trigger the desired
note(s) by selecting keys on the keyboard
image or by using a MIDI input controller.
As long as a key is selected or held/triggered
from an external controller, the chosen note
will adjust the input pitch. Only when you release the note will
the input return to its original pitch. An external MIDI controller
can also be used to gain immediate access to multiple octaves.
Scale Detune
The Detune parameter allows
you to change the pitch standard
of Auto-Tune from the default
A = 440Hz. The values are cents
(100 cents = 1 semitone or half
step). The range of adjustment
is from –10 to +10 (10 being
100 cents).
The Detune function can be used
to tune a vocal performance to
some irreparably out-of-tune
instrument (a piano or organ, for
example), or to allow correction
to other than the conventional
440Hz standard. If you have a
tone that you want to use as the
pitch standard, select that tone and play it in a loop. Adjust
Scale Detune until the Change meter reads zero. (You may be
required to use the Edit Scale dialog to remove adjacent tones so
that Auto-Tune doesn’t tune to the wrong tone.)
MIDI Chan 6
Note: If you are using a MIDI tempo map or tracking with timecode you can
easily program (record) a note value into a MIDI sequencer at a precise loca-
tion. In this way it is possible to correct a particular problem where the
performance might otherwise be fine - using as little processing as possible.
