Pitch Correct Mode
Pitch Bender:
Use the bender to manually raise
or lower the pitch of the shifted voices. This works
just like a spring-loaded keyboard pitch bender.
Pitch Bend Range:
The range parameter lets you
set the maximum amount of pitch bend that can be
applied to the vocal.
Pitch Controller:
Use the keyboard to force the
vocal to an exact pitch.
Keyboard Octave Select:
Selects the octave that
the keyboard represents.
Slope:
Use this lovely window to set the
transition rate between the original vocal sound and
the pitch-corrected sound.
Operation–Harmony
Harmony mode is used to create everything from
harmonies to doubled voices. To make sure you are
in Harmony mode, make sure it is selected.
The Editing Parameters
The editing parameters are the tools that allow
you to put some spice into your harmonies or
doubled voices. Some of the editing parameters are
used in all control modes, and others are specific to
one control mode.

Interval
Using the interval sliders, you can adjust the
interval of each of the four harmony voices.
Basically, “Interval” controls the voicing of the
harmonies relative to your lead note. When in the
SmartChord and SmartKey control modes, the
interval settings are divided into seven coarse steps.
Each step directs the voice in a different way. The
following table describes the individual intervals in
musical and nonmusical terms. Note that, although
the descriptions for the SmartChord and SmartKey
intervals are similar, SmartChord intervals follow the
lead voice “loosely” and SmartKey intervals follow
the lead voice’s every pitch movement.

When using the Pitch Shift control mode, Interval
works in a different, but simple way. Pitch Shift
interval is set from –24 to +24 for each voice. Each
digit corresponds to one semitone above or below the
lead pitch. For example, –24 would be two octaves
below the lead, +12 would be an octave above the
lead. The intervals for Pitch Shift are represented
with numbers as they are not “intelligent” intervals.
Pitch Shift intervals are always a parallel distance
away from the lead note no matter what the key and
scale of the music.
