Tracking control back where it belongs
Back in Auto-Tune 5, we consolidated t\fe Auto 
Mode and Grap\fical Mode Tracking controls 
and mo\bed t\fe resulting control to t\fe

dialog. T\fis turned out to be a none-too-popular 
mo\be. It’s now back in t\fe common control 
area w\fere it’s instantly accessible in eit\fer 
mode. (And speaking of t\fe Tracking control, 
t\fe new E\bo Processing tec\fnology allows t\fe 
Tracking control to more easily correct (t\fe now...

Transpose
In addition to any pitc\f correction applied by 
Automatic Mode, t\fe Transpose control lets

t\froat lengt\f, w\file a \balue of 0.70 represents a 
30% decrease in t\froat lengt\f.
NOTE: This control is only active when 
Formant Correction is engaged. 
When Formant Correction is not 
engaged, this control is disabled (grayed out). 
Since Formant Correction is not available in the 
TDM versions o\f Auto-Tune Evo, Throat Length 
is also not available in the TDM versions. I\f 
you wish to use the Throat Length \function 
on a TDM system, be sure to select the RTAS 
version o\f Auto-Tune Evo.

For pitc\f correction, it combines t\fe ease of 
Automatic Mode wit\f t\fe control of Grap\fical 
Mode to allow you to get optimum results wit\f 
a minimum of tedious tweaking. 
Combined wit\f Auto-Tune E\bo’s formant 
correction and t\froat modeling capabilities, it 
pro\bides an easy, intuiti\be met\fod of modifying 
t\fe pitc\f of indi\bidual notes or p\frases. 
And w\fen programming Auto-Tune

proceeding with any pitch correction or Note or 
Curve-based pitch shi\fting. I\f not, \frustration is 
almost guaranteed to ensue.
W\fen Number of Note

“Less” end of its range:
• Small \bariations in pitc\f are treated as a  single Note.
• Large cyclical \bariations in pitc\f are seen as \bibrato and treated as a single Note.
• A gradual pitc\f c\fange is seen as a transition between notes and no Note objects are 
created for it....

Pitc\f Grap\f. If t\fe Snap To Note function is not

 RTANT NOTE: 
Although 
it’s been mentioned be\fore (and will 
probably be mentioned again), we 
can’t stress too strongly the extent to which the 
ability to assign independent Retune Speeds 
to individual correction objects streamlines 
Auto-Tune Evo’s Graphical Mode workflow 
and makes it easier than ever to get natural 
sounding correction results. 
In t\fe past, your c\foice was typically picking 
a Retune Speed t\fat was a “good enoug\f” 
compromise for an entire track, or...

New Pitch Graph displa\f mode
T\fe Pitc\f Grap\f Display’s default mode 
displays \forizontal lines t\fat represent eac\f

Tune’s only display mode and is still probably 
t\fe most useful mode wit\f Cur\be and Line 
correction objects.
Howe\ber, wit\f t\fe introduction of Note objects, 
we \fa\be added an additional Lanes display

\forizontal lanes t\fat extend from t\fe left-\fand
