Antares Auto-Tune 5, Owner'S Manual

Page: 28 / 64

Virtual Keyboard
The Virtual Keyboard displays Auto-Tune 5’s
pitch detection range and acts as a realtime
display of the currently detected pitch, a
display of the current Scale settings, and as a
tool for setting target note behaviors in specific
octaves.
NOTE:
The keyboard is only active for
scales with exactly twelve notes. It
will be grayed out (hence inactive)
when any other scale is selected. “But wait!”
you might be thinking, “I want to edit Major
and Minor scales in individual octaves and the
keyboard is grayed out when I select either
one.” No problem. Simply select Chromatic,
then use the Set Major or Set Minor button to
set up the scale of your choice and edit away.
KEY COLORS The color of the keys of the
Virtual Keyboard indicate their current state as
follows:
COLOR STATE
Blue The currently detected
input pitch
White or Black Scale Note
Gray
Removed
Light Brown Bypassed
MOMENTARY When this button is not On
(i.e., its color is gray), any edits made to the
keyboard will latch -i.e., clicking a key will
change its state and the key will retain that state
until some other action causes it to change.
KEYBOARD EDIT These buttons are used to
select which state (Remove or Bypass) will be
toggled when you click on a key.
When Remove is selected, clicking on any
key that is not currently set to Remove will set
that key to Remove. Clicking on any key that is
currently set to Remove will set that key to a
Scale Note.
When Bypass is selected, clicking on any
key that is not currently set to Bypass will set
that key to Bypass. Clicking on any key that is
currently set to Bypass will set that key to a
Scale Note.
NOTE:
In the descriptions above,
“clicking” on a key refers to pressing
the mouse button down and then
releasing it. The edit action is executed when
the mouse button is released. Therefore, if the
Momentary button is Off (see below), dragging
across the keyboard highlights each key in
turn, but it is only when you release the mouse
button that the resulting key will change state.
When the button is On (i.e., its color is blue),
keyboard edits are only active for as long as
the mouse is held down on a key.
NOTE:
Pressing and holding the Shift
key on your keyboard will temporarily
toggle the state of the Momentary
button.
