HardTune
Applies to: LEAD Voice
HardTune provides pitch correction that varies from subtle all the way up to T-Pain™ style tuning. Generally
speaking, pitch correction alters your Lead Vocal pitch to fit within a selected Key and Scale.
If all you care about is keeping your voice within
the defined black and white notes on the piano
keyboard, select the Chromatic scale, which is the
same for all keys.
On the other hand, if your song is in the key of C,
you’d likely get more musically pleasing results by
selecting the C Pop Major scale.
This scale is the C-Major scale (all white keys)
with an added dominant 7
th
for the blues-
influenced variations common in pop music.
When transposed to other keys, the Pop Major
scale can definitely look unusual. Here it is in the
key of C#, just one semitone up from C.
When using the Pop Major Scale, Perform-VE should be set to the correct key for your composition. You can set
this manually, or you can set the key to
NaturalPlay
to have Perform-VE automatically set the correction key
based on the chords it detects in the incoming MIDI or audio (Aux input).
