Finding the correct Key and Scale:
Often the key and scale can be set to the first or
last chord in a song e.g. G Major. If no key and
scale settings seem to work, then a custom scale
can be crafted or you can switch to manual MIDI
control
How to apply automatic pitch correction to a vocal
1.Navigate to the browser and set the Source Filter to
“Singing” and the Application Filter to “Correction”, then
select a preset using the Scroll Wheel and Ok Button.
2.Enter the key and scale of the song using the
appropriate Soft Knobs.
3.Adjust the Attack Rate Parameter with the appropriate
Soft Knob to balance the rate of incoming new notes and
the speed at which correction happens. A value of “20” is
a good place to start.
4.Some songs have a chord structure in which a single key
and scale setting may not work. Your options are to:
• Change key and scale for each song section.
• Create a custom pitch correction scale.
• Chose the manual pitch correction mode that allows
you to press notes on a MIDI keyboard to provide the
target pitches for correction. (see next paragraph)
Using MIDI to correct notes outside the scale
1. Follow the steps outlined previously to set a key, scale
and associated parameters that work for most of your
song.
2. Connect a MIDI keyboard to VoicePro (see Utility section
for MIDI details)
3. Pressing a single note, or cluster of notes will cause
VoicePro to apply pitch correction when the input falls
within the MIDI Window around any of the pressed
notes. Releasing the notes allows the automatic
correction to resume. The MIDI correct notes are also
affected by the MIDI Rate Parameter.
How to apply manual pitch correction
1.Connect a MIDI keyboard to VoicePro (see Utility section
for MIDI details)
2.Navigate to the browser and set the Source Filter to
“Singing” and the Application Filter to “Correction”, then
select a preset using the Scroll Wheel and Ok Button.
3.Press the notes that require retuning on the MIDI
keyboard as they are sung.
4.Adjust the Attack Rate Parameter if required using the
appropriate Soft Knob.
