Auto Shift<\/h2>\n

This audio effect is great to autotune<\/strong> vocal tracks to either make subtle pitch correction or to create more audible synthetic artifacts. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auto Shift ca also be used for pitch and formant shifting<\/strong> and it offers low latency Live input as well<\/p>\n

While it was designed primarily with vocals in mind, any monophonic signal can be processed and shifted.<\/p>\n

In addition to these standard features Auto Shift will also allow you to create totally new sounding vocoder<\/strong> like effects when using the Midi Input.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Quantizer<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Auto Shift's pitch correction controls:<\/pre>\n
The Input switches<\/strong> let you set the frequency range of the incoming signal to Bass, Mid, or Low, which helps to optimize the quality<\/strong> of the pitch correction.<\/p>\n
You can select a built-in scale or create a custom scale<\/strong> to use for pitch correction.<\/p>\n
The Pitch Correction Meter<\/strong> shows how much the input signal has been shifted in order to fit the selected scale pitches in cents.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n
Use the Smooth<\/strong> control to create smoother jumps between corrected notes, preserving more natural vibrato, or it can be switched off for more abrupt changes between pitches creating the typical synthetic sounding “autotune” effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n
Formant Shift<\/strong> lets you adjust the formants of the input signal using positive or negative values, while the The Formant Follow<\/strong> parameter determines how much the formant shift follows the pitch shift.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/h4>\n
When Live Mode<\/strong> is enabled we can get the quantization effects also ‘Live’ in real time with extra low latency. <\/strong><\/p>\n
Pitch and Fine<\/strong> controls can be used for high quality pitch shifting<\/strong> of the entire signal in semitones or cents.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
You can adjust vibrato using the Vibrato<\/strong> control, as well as set the vibrato fade in time in milliseconds and the vibrato amount in cents.<\/p>\n
Natural<\/strong> randomizes\u00a0the speed and depth of the vibrato to sound more natural.<\/p>\n
Scale Awareness<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
The Scale settings in the Quantizer can differ from the global Scale!<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
The global scale<\/strong> is visible in the audioclip’s sample box<\/strong> where it can also be disabled and also changed.<\/p>\n
MIDI In<\/h4>\n
When MIDI Input is activated, the Quantizer tab is replaced by the MIDI tab<\/strong>, which contains settings for incoming MIDI.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Activating MIDI Input lets Auto Shift receive MIDI from another track<\/strong> to control pitch correction using MIDI notes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
You can use MIDI clips or play the notes that you want to use for the vocal input correction.<\/p>\n
In MIDI mode you will only hear the pitch correction when notes are played<\/strong>, if Auto Shift does not receive any MIDI, there will be no corresponding output.<\/p>\n
The sidechain input could come from a midi controller or from a midi clip.<\/p>\n
This works both with monophonic and polyphonic<\/strong> signals accommodating up to 8 voices.<\/p>\n
When playing chords It is \u00a0possible to play and harmonize the incoming signal polyphonically<\/strong><\/p>\n
In mono we also have a glide<\/strong> option for overlapping notes<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
LFO<\/h4>\n
Auto Shift includes two modulation sources<\/strong>: a dedicated vibrato LFO<\/strong> or a multipurpose LFO<\/strong> that allows to modulate all important features of the device. You can select the shape and rate for the LFO,<\/strong> as well as adjust the attack and delay times.<\/p>\n
]\"\"<\/p>\n
Adjustable LFO and modulation controls:<\/p>\n
The Mod Routings section can be used to apply LFO modulation to the pitch shift, formant shift, volume, and panning.<\/p>\n
Midi Control Sources and Destinations<\/strong><\/h4>\n
With Midi On<\/strong> we can also use Midi control for the same destinations.<\/p>\n
You can apply modulation and also use MPE data in the Mod Routings section of the MIDI tab<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/h5>\n
Midi Control Options:<\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Combine a control source with a destination.<\/pre>\n
With the setting below Pressure will control Pitch up to 3 semitones:<\/p>\n
