Graphical Mode
The Graphical Mode is similar to the Automatic
Mode in that it also continuously tracks the
pitch of the incoming sound and modifies the
output pitch to be closer to a desired pitch.
But in the Graphical Mode, the desired pitch
is not a predefined scale tone, but rather is a
graphical representation of your desired pitch.
As in Automatic Mode, the rate of change
towards the desired pitch is controlled by the
Retune Speed control.
The key feature of Graphical Mode is the Pitch
Graph display. On this display, the vertical axis
represents pitch (with higher notes towards
the top) while the horizontal axis represents
time.
The red curve represents the original pitch
contour of the input track, while the desired
target pitch or pitch contour is indicated in blue.
The horizontal grid lines represent scale
pitches. The key annotation, scale name, scale
pitches and Scale Detune value are those
defined in the Automatic Mode. They do
not affect the computations of the Graphical
Mode in any way. They are merely a reference
to guide you in setting the target pitches. If
you wish to change them, you can select the
Automatic Mode and change the Key pop-up,
Scale pop-up, or the Scale Detune setting,
respectively. (Changing the Scale Detune
setting will also result in the scale pitch graph
lines moving up or down relative to the tracked
pitch.) Then, return to Graphical Mode.
