Antares Auto-Tune 5, Owner'S Manual

Page: 48 / 64

To continue:
1. Set the Retune Speed to about 30.
2. Play “A2-A3-A2 sweep” again. Compare
the 30 setting to the 0 setting.
3. Try various other Speed settings.
The setting of 0 is fast: Auto-Tune 5 makes
instantaneous pitch changes. The setting
of 30 is slower. Auto-Tune 5 makes gradual
pitch changes. This parameter controls how
rapidly the pitch correction is applied to the
incoming pitch. The units are milliseconds. A
value of zero will cause instantaneous changes
from one tone to another and will completely
suppress a vibrato (note that related volume
changes will remain). Retune values from 10 to
50 are typical for vocals.
To continue:
1. Set the Retune Speed to 0
2. In the Edit Scale Display, click the Remove
buttons next to all the notes except F#.
3. Play “A2-A3-A2 sweep” again. As the
sound is playing, move Scale De-tune
knob.
The output pitch will be locked to F#, however,
you will hear the output pitch change with the
Detune slider movement. This is because the
Detune knob is changing the pitch standard of
the scale.
Finally:
1. Select “sine wave” from the Vibrato Type
pop-up.
2. Play “A2-A3-A2 sweep” again.
3. Experiment with the various vibrato
controls to hear their effects.
Tutorial 2: The Targeting Ignores Vibrato Function
This tutorial will demonstrate the purpose and
use of the Automatic Mode’s Targeting Ignores
Vibrato function.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import “wide_vibrato” into a track
of your host program. This is a recording of
a male voice singing a sustained “G” with
a pronounced vibrato. Play the track so
that you are familiar with the original audio.
Despite the wide vibrato, you will notice
that the singer’s pitch drifts alternately
sharp and flat.
2. Set up Auto-Tune 5 to be an insert effect
on that track.
3. Set Auto-Tune 5 to Automatic Mode.
4. Set the Key to “C” and the Scale to
“Chromatic.”
5. Set the Input Type to Low Male Voice
6. Set Retune Speed to a value of 24.
7. Use your host program’s controls to
Bypass Auto-Tune 5. Set “wide_vibrato”
to loop continuously and put your host
program into Play mode. Watch the blue
Detected Pitch indication on Auto-Tune
5’s Virtual Keyboard. As you will see,
the singer’s vibrato is so wide that it
consistently gets closer to G# and F# than
G, causing Auto-Tune to intermittently
select those notes as target pitches.
8. Check that Targeting Ignores Vibrato is
not selected and remove Auto-Tune 5
from Bypass. Watch the Detected Pitch
indication and listen to the result. As you
will hear, whenever Auto-Tune 5 thinks
G# or F# is the target pitch, it will move
the input closer to those notes, in effect
making the situation worse.
9. Now, leaving all other settings the same,
click Targeting Ignores Vibrato. With
Targeting Ignores Vibrato engaged, Auto-
Tune 5’s vibrato identification algorithm
recognizes the pitch excursions as vibrato
and continues to use “G” as the target pitch.
