Vibrato
The Natura\f 
Vibrato 
function 
a\f\fows 
rea\f-time 
modification 
(either 
increase or decrease) of the depth of any 
vibrato present in the input audio whi\fe 
preserving the origina\f shape and character of 
the vibrato.
This function uses the same Stochastic Optima\f 
Linear Estimation Theory as the Targeting 
Ignores Vibrato function (described be\fow) to 
differentiate between vibrato and intended 
pitch changes, adjusting the vibrato depth whi\fe 
\feaving intended pitch...

The Edit Scale Displa\f
The Edit Sca\fe Disp\fay is used to create custom 
sca\fes or to modify any of the preset sca\fes 
se\fected in the Sca\fe popup. Edits made using 
this disp\fay are associated with each sca\fe. That 
is, each sca\fe retains its own edits independent 
of the other sca\fes. For examp\fe, if you se\fect 
\b Major in the Key and Sca\fe popups and 
Remove or Bypass certain notes and then 
change to \b Minor and make other edits, 
when you return to \b Major your previous edits...

 2.  If a performance contains on\fy a sing\fe error, you can set a\f\f notes to Bypass 
except the one “sour” note. Auto-Tune

through unprocessed except for the sour 
note, which wi\f\f be corrected.
Remove
If the Remove button is \fit, then the note is 
simp\fy removed from the current sca\fe. For 
examp\fe, se\fecting the \bhromatic sca\fe and 
then setting \b#, D#, F#, G#, A# to Remove 
wou\fd cause a \b Major sca\fe to remain. In that 
case Auto-Tune 7...

The Virtual Ke\fboard
The Virtua\f Keyboard disp\fays Auto-Tune 7’s 
pitch detection range and acts as a rea\f-time 
disp\fay of the current\fy detected pitch, a disp\fay 
of the current Sca\fe settings, and as a too\f 
for setting target note behaviors in specific 
octaves.
IMpoRtANt No te: the ke\fboard is 
onl\f active for scales with exactl\f 
twelve notes. It will be \bra\fed 
out (hence inactive) when an\f other scale is 
selected.

This disp\fay indicates the

Auto-Tune 7 by the host 
app\fication. 
Note: Auto-tune 7 is hi\bh sample 
rate compatible. If \four host 
application and audio hardware are 
capable of dealin\b with up to 192 kHz files 
(96kHz files for HD Accel s\fstems), Auto-

it’s important to remember that hi\bh sample

Automatic Mode MIDI Functions
Auto-Tune 7 provides two functions that 
require it to receive MIDI data from the host 
app\fication. Depending on your intent, this data 
cou\fd come in rea\f time from a MIDI contro\f\fer 
(typica\f\fy a keyboard) or from a prerecorded 
MIDI sequencer track. Refer to your host 
app\fication’s manua\f for detai\fs on how to route 
MIDI to Auto-Tune 7.
Note: Althou\bh these da\fs virtuall\f 
all major hosts allow the routin\b of 
MIDI to plu\b-ins, there ma\f still be a...

appeared in your me\fody.
If you happen to have made an error during 
note entry, or want to try again for any other 
reason, simp\fy c\fick the Learn Sca\fe From MIDI

Create Vibrato Functions
The contro\fs in this section are designed to add 
a synthesized vibrato to the input. 
Whi\fe vibrato is typica\f\fy perceived to be 
a variation so\fe\fy in pitch, carefu\f ana\fysis 
shows that, depending on the voice or 
instrument and the sty\fe of the individua\f 
performer, variations in amp\fitude (\foudness) 
and formant resonances are a\fso invo\fved. 
Reflecting this, Auto-Tune 7 inc\fudes a p\fethora

The Pitch Change Meter
The Pitch Change Amount In\ficator
The Pitch \bhange Indicator shows you how 
much the pitch is being changed, measured in 
cents (100 cents = one semitone). For examp\fe, 
if the indicator bar has moved to the \feft to -50, 
it indicates that the input pitch is 50 cents too 
sharp and Auto-Tune 7 is \fowering the pitch by 
50 cents to bring the input back to the desired 
pitch.Hol\f Button
