Pitch & Voicing - VocalSynth 2 Help Documentation
Table of Contents
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
- Start with the Mid setting for most audio applications.
- If you notice any undesirable behavior or artifacts in the detected pitches, experiment with the Low and High options to achieve the best results.
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.
- KEY: Allows you to choose between several predefined scale types.
- Scale: Defines the scale used to snap your incoming vocal pitches to. Choose from Major, Minor or Chromatic.
Tip: Chromatic Scale
- If you don’t know what scale to use, set your scale type to Chromatic.
- Root: Defines the root note or key for pitch correction. It is important to set an accurate root note as this helps the pitch correction algorithm determine the best possible pitches for your vocals to correct to.
- Scale: Defines the scale used to snap your incoming vocal pitches to. Choose from Major, Minor or Chromatic.
- CUSTOM: Custom mode allows you to create a unique scale type. This can be useful for creative effects, such as locking a vocal to only a few pitches, or practical, such as creating a particular scale (e.g. pentatonic). When defining a Custom scale, click on any notes of the keyboard that you wish to enable/disable as options for pitch correction. When the individual notes are enabled, they’ll display a bright white.
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).
