The Pitch Fix function can be used to “fix” the pitch of a vocal track, or create chorus parts based
on a main vocal part. An Auto Punch-in/out function is also provided which allows a specified
segment of a vocal track to be processed and replaced.
Pitch Fix can be useful in the following situations:
Correct the pitch of slightly flat or sharp vocals.
Correct the pitch of a specified segment or phrase of a vocal track using the Auto Punch-in/out function.
Create a chorus part using an external MIDI keyboard to specify the pitch of the chorus part — a third
above the main vocal, for example.
Change the key of a vocal track.

Correcting a Vocal Track (Pitch Fix)
If you will be using an external MIDI keyboard to specify the pitch for vocal pitch correction or
a chorus part, the MIDI OUT connector of an appropriate MIDI keyboard must be connected
to the AW2400 [MIDI IN] connector via a standard MIDI cable. In this case the MIDI screen
Setting 1 page PORT RX (reception) parameter must be set to MIDI. Keyboard connection
can also be made via the USB port.
