QUICK START PITCH EFFECTS EDIT PARAMETERS
PITCH CORRECTION
Again, we will use Factory preset #99 for our
experiments. Turn all of the VM effects off for
now by pressing their keys on the front panel.
Press the CORRECT key in preset #99 to turn
on the effect. We have set this up to correct to
a chromatic scale, with a default root of C.
Double Click the CORRECT key and use the
ARROW keys to find the COR Window or
correction window. Sing or play a vocal into
VoiceOne, and adjust this window with the
DATA wheel. You should also work with the
COR Attack and COR Amount parameters to
change the strictness and amount of correction.
Refer to the main PITCH CORRECTION and
PITCH CORRECTION SCALE DEFINITIONS
sections to investigate the other correction
scales, entering a custom scale, and correction
via MIDI control.
PITCH SHIFTING
Shift Amount/Mode
To understand how the shift amount is applied
in the various modes, it is a good idea to be
familiar with how VoiceOne shows the shift
offsets in the various modes. Please refer to
the PITCH SHIFT section for details.
In our Quickstart test preset (Factory #99) the
setting for SHI Mode is Chromatic. You can
then apply a static shift to the vocal by
changing the SHI Amount. This value is in
cents. 100 cents = one semitone. Experiment
with upshifts and downshifts. When finished,
press the SHIFT key to return to the top level
screen. Press the CORRECT button to disable
the Pitch Correction.
Now, let’s do an intelligent shift. We’re going to
use a major scale as our basis.
Remember, to hear the effect, the SHIFT key
must be pressed so that the LED lights.
Double-click the SHIFT key, and use the
ARROW keys to find the SHI Mode parameter.
Select Major 1 with the DATA wheel. With the
Arrow keys, scroll to the SHI Amount
parameter, and select the interval you want to
shift to. Try ‘3rd’ as an experiment. The scale is
in C major, since you haven’t changed the root
note in the Correction section. You should now
hear your input shifted to a diatonic 3rd above
C, depending on the notes you send in. If you
sing C, you should hear E.
There you have a basic hands on
demonstration on how some of the many
functions of VoiceOne are accessed. We
invite you to explore these features in depth
in the main User’s Manual.
Have fun with VoiceOne!
