Overview

The Pitch and Voicing control tabs allow you to adjust pitch detection and correction parameters, dry voice gain, and synth voice parameters.

Pitch

REGISTER

Controls how VocalSynth 2 detects and analyzes incoming vocal data. There are three Register settings to choose from: LOW, MID, HIGH.

Tip

Auto Mode & Register

When VocalSynth 2 is in Auto mode, the Register control will effect how the pitch tracking interacts with the oscillators. If the Register is set to High and you’re singing Low, the oscillators in the Compuvox, Vocoder, or Talkbox modules won’t be able to follow your vocal effectively.

LVL

Adjusts the dry input/pitch corrected signal level.

ENABLE CORRECTION

Enables/disables pitch correction processing.

SCALE TYPE

There are two methods for selecting the scale type used for pitch correction: KEY and CUSTOM.

SPEED

Determines how quickly your incoming vocals will be snapped to any particular note. Speed ranges from 0 to 100 ms. Values closer to 0 ms achieve robotic, immediate pitch snapping, where values higher than 50 ms obtain more natural and transparent results.

STRENGTH

Controls how closely the pitch correction will pull your voice to the correct frequency. Lower strength values may not perfectly correct a pitch, but will lessen any tuning issues. This tends to sound more natural, but if you’re after the more robotic sound, you’ll want Strength turned up.

Voicing

There are two global modes that allow you to control aspects of the internal synthesizer voices in VocalSynth 2: Auto mode and MIDI mode. When Sidechain mode is selected, the internal synthesizers are bypassed and all Voicing controls are disabled. Read more about the global different input modes in the Global Modes chapter.

AUTO MODE VOICING

INTERVAL

Defines an interval for each of the 3 auto voices. This interval is how far away, diatonically, the new harmony will be from the root note of the musical key. The musical key is defined in the Pitch control panel (which doesn’t have to be enabled).

LVL

Adjusts the level of the auto generated voices sent to the modules for processing.

MIDI MODE VOICING

MONO

Short for monophonic. Allows only one pitch to be played at a time, but playing notes consecutively will not retrigger the internal envelopes.

POLY

Short for polyphonic. Allows multiple pitches to be played at once (known as polyphony) like chords with lines or melodies that might have overlapping voices.

GLIDE

Adjusts the portamento speed when transistioning from one note to another (Mono Mode only).
