Antares Auto-Tune 5 Owner's Manual - page 23
KNOB CONTROL Lets you select how you
want to control the “knobs” in the Auto-Tune
5 interface.
VERTICAL: Position the cursor over a knob,
press and hold the left mouse button (or
the only mouse button, if you’re using a
one-button mouse) and move the cursor
up to turn the knob clockwise or down to
turn the knob counterclockwise. The current
value of the knob’s parameter appears in its
associated numeric display.
HORIZONTAL: Position the cursor over a
knob, press and hold the left mouse button
and move the cursor to the right to turn
the knob clockwise or to the left to turn
the knob counterclockwise. The current
value of the knob’s parameter appears in its
associated numeric display.
RADIAL: Click anywhere around the
circumference of the knob, press and hold
the left mouse button and “rotate” the
knob in the desired direction. The current
value of the knob’s parameter appears in its
associated numeric display.
NOTE:
This setting applies to “knob”
controls only. Controls that appear as
sliders are not affected.
CUSTOM CURSORS Click the check box to
use Custom Cursors in Graphical Mode.
Normally, Auto-Tune 5 displays different cursor
shapes in the Pitch Graph Display to help you
grab and drag objects (e.g., the object cursor,
the anchor point cursor, etc.). However, some
host applications mistakenly think that they
own the cursor when it is in a plug-in window.
This may cause the cursor to flash as the
host and Auto-Tune 5 alternately try to set the
cursor shape. If this annoys you, unclick this
check box. It will stop the flashing, but you will
no longer see Auto-Tune 5’s custom cursors.
NUMBER OF UNDOS Auto-Tune 5 provides
multiple Undo/Redo capability in Graphical
Mode. Select the maximum allowable
number here (up to 20). Choosing a higher
number allocates more memory for saving
intermediate states.
Sample Rate
Display
This display
indicates the
sample rate of
the current audio file as reported to Auto-Tune
5 by the host application.
NOTE:
Auto-Tune 5 is high sample
rate compatible. If your host
application and audio hardware are
capable of dealing with up to 192 kHz files,
Auto-Tune 5 will process them correctly.
However, it’s important to remember that high
sample rate files require substantially more
DSP power than 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz files, so
the number of possible simultaneous Auto-
Tune 5 instantiations will be decreased.
ANOTHER NOTE:
If you are using
external A/D converters with
independently selectable sample
rates, it can be possible to establish a
mismatch between the actual conversion
sample rate and what the host application
thinks is the sample rate. If this happens, Auto-
Tune 5 will appear to be correcting pitch to the
“wrong” key. If this appears to be happening,
check to be sure that your converter sample
rate and your host application sample rate (as
displayed by Auto-Tune 5) match.
Instance ID
Some host applications assign numerical
instance IDs to multiple instances of the same
plug-in. If your host does this, the ID will
appear in a red display to the immediate right
of the Sample Rate display. Instance IDs are
particularly useful if you are using any of Auto-
Tune 5’s MIDI functions, as they allow you to
be sure that you are routing the MIDI stream
to the correct instance of Auto-Tune on the
desired track.
Bypass
Auto-Tune 5 does not include a dedicated
Bypass control as that function is typically
provided by the host application’s plug-in
interface. However, it is worth noting that
Auto-Tune 5 is designed such that switching
the bypass state will not cause any audio
artifacts. It can safely be used in performance
or in the middle of a recorded track.
