EFX Select Knob:
EFX Mode:
In EFX Edit Mode (see Auto-Tune Switch), the EFX Select knob is used to navigate through the EFX presets. Turning the knob changes the
EFX preset in the display. The new selection will be blinking in the display; push the EFX Select knob to choose the new effect. Once the ef-
fect has been selected, you can now edit the effect. To do this, press the EFX Select knob and the display will change to the current parameter
setting of the preset. Turn the EFX Select knob to edit the parameter. Press the knob again to exit EFX preset edit mode. To restore the EFX
presets back to factory settings, press and hold the EFX Select knob for 5 seconds and select "Y" when prompted.
Auto-Tune Mode:
In Auto-Tune Edit Mode (see Auto-Tune Switch), the EFX Select knob is used to navigate through the Auto-Tune presets. Turning the knob
changes the Auto-Tune preset in the display. The new selection will be blinking in the display; push the EFX Select knob to choose the new
Auto-Tune preset.
Once the preset has been selected, you can edit the preset by pressing the EFX Select knob. The display will change to the current Key setting.
Turn the EFX Select knob to change the key and push the EFX Select knob when you have chosen the key you desire. The Key setting deter-
mines which notes are enabled in the Auto-Tune process. For example, in the key of CMaj, the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B are enabled, and all
other notes are disabled. To see which notes are enabled or disabled for each key, see the Key Table below.
Note:
If Custom Key is selected, the display will enter Custom Key Edit Mode. In this mode, you can create a custom Auto-Tune Key. Use
the EFX Select knob to select the Root (labeled "RT"). This will be the note off which the custom key is based. Then use the
Media Select knob to move the cursor and use the EFX Select knob to activate or deactivate the 12 notes in the key. Once you have
finished editing the custom key, press the EFX Select knob to exit Custom Key Edit Mode. The mixer is capable of storing 9 different
custom keys, one for each preset slot.
The scale degrees are numbered across the top, with half-steps indicated by a dash.
EFX and Auto-Tune (PV14AT only)
"+" indicates the note will be allowed.
"-" indicates the note will not be allowed.
By looking at the sequence of allowed and disallowed notes above, this is a whole tone scale. There are only two of those, so you can have the
other one just by changing the root to C# or B.
*This screen cap shows an A blues scale. You don't have to edit the whole scale to change keys - just change the root.
Once you have selected the key and pressed the EFX Select knob, the display will change to the current Speed setting. Turn the EFX Select
knob to change the Speed setting. The Speed setting determines how quickly and aggressively the Auto-Tune will correct the pitch. The range
for this setting is 0 to 25, where 0 is the quickest and 25 is the slowest. Push the EFX Select knob when you are done editing the speed param-
eter.
