NOTE: While you are in this menu with AutoTune enabled, the output of the SP will be muted (the
Output ON/OFF button status will not change, however). The reason for muting the output is that
AutoTune uses a special Calibration Preset tone which isn’t very musical. The SP’s output will remain
muted as long as you stay in this menu, or until you disable AutoTune. If AutoTune is active when you
leave the menu, it will remain active but will automatically unmute the output and disengage when you
start playing. AutoTune has a special ‘timeout’ feature that waits 15 seconds after you stop playing
before engaging the AutoTune function in the background. If the AutoTune menu is displayed during this
time, you will see it change:
AUTO …
Until the timeout is finished, at which point, the target note will appear again:
AUTO 60.12
The SP will continue to autotune while you are playing until you disable it in the menu, or until you
switch off the power.
For more on the Calibration Preset and a list of its parameter values, see Appendix C.
TUNING SCALE:
Tuning Scale is a feature that allows you to specify one of 32 alternate
tuning scales for the SP. The default value of ‘0’ is ’Equal Temperament’,
meaning normal Western tuning. Additional scales can be added using
the Little Phatty Scale Editor software, available for the Mac and PC
platforms.
While the cursor is positioned under the selected scale, pressing the
ENTER switch presents a second page that allows you to set the root
note of the desired scale. This puts the start of the scale on whatever
note you prefer, allowing you to specify the custom tuning for any
mode or root note you wish to play in. Tuning scales are global settings
which are saved after power down.
TUNING SCALE
Values: 0 -31: the default value is ‘0’
ROOT NOTE
Values: 0 - 127
NOTE: The Little Phatty Scale Editor can also open any 12-­note tuning file created by Scala, a cross-­
platform program for defining and analyzing microtonal tunings.
