Tutorial 5: Graphical Mode Basics

This tutorial will introduce you to the basic
Graphical Mode functions, again using the
"A2-A3-A2 sweep" file from Tutorial 1.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import "A2-A3-A2 sweep" into a
track of your host program. Play the track so
that you are familiar with the original audio.
2. Set up Auto-Tune 5 to be an insert effect
on that track.
3. Set Auto-Tune 5 to Automatic Mode.
4. Set the Key to "A" and the Scale to "Major."
5. Set Auto-Tune 5 to Graphical Mode.
6. Click the Track Pitch button.
7. Play the sweep signal through Auto-Tune 5.
A red curve representing the pitch contour
of the signal will be drawn to the screen as
the file plays.
8. Stop playback and click the Track Pitch
button again to stop the tracking function.
To continue:
1. Select the Magnifying Glass tool and drag
out a box on the Pitch Graph that encloses
the red curve. The result will be something
like the following:
2. Select the Line tool and enter a line similar
to that below. By clicking multiple anchor
points on the Pitch Graph, line segments
joining the points will be drawn.
When done, double-click the last point or press
<esc> on the keyboard.
To erase the last point entered, press <delete>
on the keyboard (you can press <delete>
repeatedly to erase back to the first anchor
point).
3. Set the Retune Speed to 0 and play back
the sound to hear the effect.
4. Select the Curve tool and create a curve
similar to the one shown below. Click and
hold the mouse button and drag to draw
the curve. When done, release the mouse
button.
5. Play back the sound to hear the effect.
6. Vary the Retune Speed between 0 and 50
and note the effect.
