The Global Correction section , the first section of the Tune work flow, offers four global 

tune parameters which are critical for pitch detection: 

 

Reference Pitch 

–This is similar to the calibration adjustment on a standard 

guitar/instrument tuner. It allows adjusting the overall tuning offset for any scale.  

Reference Pitch should be adjusted before the scan.  Changing Reference Pitch later will 

require clearing the graph and re-scanning. 

Default: A = 440hz; Range: +/- 2 octaves (220hz-880hz.) 

 

Global Pitch Shift 

- Here you will define the global pitch shift which you want to 

perform on all scanned material.  Global shift defines a constant shift in equal tempered 

semitones (half steps.)   

Default = 0 ; +/- 12 half-steps (semitones.)  

 
Formant Correction 

- The correction type can be set to Formant corrected or Non 

Formant corrected. For vocals we recommend formant correction to avoid unnatural 

pitch shifts. You may change this setting at any time and the note shift method will adjust 

accordingly.

 

 
Range

- This parameter will narrow Tune’s detection area to a certain range (bass, 

baritone, tenor, soprano etc.,) making detection in that range more precise.  You can 

change the range of detection simply by narrowing or enlarging the grayed out area on 

the Piano Roll.  This is done by placing the mouse over the current range border until the 

pointer changes into a resize tool.  Click-dragging will adjust the detection range 

boundary.
