Speed Page
The first edit page displayed is the SPEED page:
Program:XX Speed
(0 is fast): yy
The SPEED control determines how rapidly pitch correction is applied to
the incoming sound. Values range from 0 to 25. A value of zero will cause
instantaneous changes from one tone to another and will completely
suppress a vibrato and any purposeful expressive pitch variations (note
that any related volume changes will remain). Values from 6 to 10 are
typical for vocals. Higher values allow more vibrato and other interpreta-
tive pitch gestures, but will slow down the rate at which pitch corrections
are made.
Although the above suggestions can be used as starting points, finding
the correct Speed setting for a particular performance is largely a matter
of trial-and-error and depends on such attributes as song tempo, note
duration and vocal style, among others.
Make Scale From MIDI Page
In most cases, you will probably tell the ATR-1a which notes to correct
using the Scale Page described below. However, there may be occasions
when it is not clear exactly what key a melody line is in, or where the line
has too many accidentals to fit comfortably into a conventional scale. For
those occasions, the Make Scale From MIDI function allows you to simply
play the line into the ATR-1a from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer and let
the ATR-1a construct a custom scale containing only those notes that
appear in the line.

make scale from MIDI
To use the Make Scale From MIDI function, ensure that your MIDI source is
connected to the ATR-1a’s MIDI input and is transmitting on the same MIDI
channel specified on MIDI Page 1 in the System Edit section. Then press the
left cursor button to begin the process. The following screen is displayed:
