\bombined with Auto-Tune 7’s formant 
correction and throat mode\fing capabi\fities, it 
provides an easy, intuitive method of modifying 
the pitch of individua\f notes or phrases. 
And when programming Auto-Tune Voca\f 
effects, it gives you abso\fute contro\f over 
exact\fy which notes wi\f\f be quantized to.
Here’s how it works:

Retune Spee\f
The Retune Speed

Automatic Mode.
In Graphica\f Mode, the target pitch is not the 
sca\fe tone nearest to the input, but rather the 
b\fue target pitch object (for \burves and Lines) 
or the exact note represented by a Note object.
