Selectable Clock Source:

 For hosts that do 

not provide valid time information, Auto-Tune 

5’s clock display and selection functions let 

you use an internal time reference for Auto-

Tune 4 style operation.

• 

Realtime pitch tracking display:

 During 

the Track Pitch process, the graphic 

representation of the pitch will be displayed 

in realtime as the audio plays.

• 

Full-time correction mode (host 

dependent):

 Whenever Auto-Tune 5 is not 

specifically tracking audio (and correction 

curves exist), Auto-Tune 5 will be operating 

in correction mode. There is no longer any 

need to press a “Correct Pitch” button. 

Besides being convenient, that makes 

possible the following feature:

• 

Multiple simultaneous Graphical Mode 

instances (host dependent):

 You can 

now have multiple instances of Auto-Tune 

Graphical Mode operating on different 

tracks simultaneously, even if their windows 

are not open. In previous versions, since 

you had to have plug-in windows open 

to engage Correct Pitch mode, only open 

instances could be active. No longer.

• 

Editing functions no longer modal

: You 

can now use all of the graphical editing 

features while Auto-Tune 5 is either tracking 

or correcting pitch.

• 

Enhanced Envelope Display 

functionality:

 We’ve made some changes 

to the Envelope Display to make it much 

more useful for quick and easy navigation 

around your audio:

  When in “ALL” mode, the display 

automatically scales to precisely encompass 

the tracked audio (rather than defaulting to 

the entire length of the buffer). 

  The behavior of the various editing tools 

has been changed such that for every tool 

except the I-Beam, moving the cursor onto 

the Envelope Display causes the tool to 

temporarily change into the Magnifying 

Glass Tool (perfect for quickly moving to 

another portion of your audio without having 

to manually change tools). 

  Using the I-Beam to make a selection on the 

Envelope Display now automatically causes 

the Pitch Graph Display to move to the 

selected audio.

• 

Realtime graphical vibrato depth 

adjustment: 

The Adjust Vibrato control 

allows you to modify the depth of vibrato 

in your audio while preserving the contour 

of the original vibrato. Moving this control 

results in a real-time graphical representation 

of the resulting vibrato contour.

• 

Dedicated Snap To Note button:

 When 

using the Line Tool, clicking this button 

constrains the tool to exact scale notes. 

• 

Dedicated Clear All Data function: 

Provides a convenient method to instantly 

clear all saved tracked audio and correction 

curve data. 

How To Use This Manual

If this is your first experience of Auto-Tune, you 

will find that Auto-Tune 5 has a very friendly 

user-interface and is extraordinarily easy to 

use. However, because Auto-Tune 5 does 

things that have never been done before, a 

few aspects of the user-interface may not 

be immediately obvious. You should at least 

read either Chapter 3, Auto-Tune 5 Controls, 

or Chapter 4, Auto-Tune 5 Tutorial, to learn the 

essential information you will need to operate 

Auto-Tune 5. 
And as we mentioned above, if you are 

upgrading from Auto-Tune 4, go straight to 

Chapter 5, the New Feature Quick Start Guide, 

to learn everything you need to know (about 

Auto-Tune’s new features, anyway).
