The editor has its own unique set of controls, which vaguely resemble Melodyne's. However, whereas in previous versions you edited a continuous line representing frequency, Evo can make musical sense of the content and present it to you as Note Objects - it's like a monophonic piano roll for audio, which will be familiar to users of Celemony's Melodyne. This shares many common controls with the classic Auto mode, such as the key/scale, throat modelling and transpose settings.
Instead of snapping to a predefined musical scale, this plots a clear graph of time against pitch, known as the Pitch Graph. Working with Auto-Tune is now much quicker in the classic Auto mode, but the improved pitch tracking is perhaps even more essential in the offline Graphical mode. For example, earlier Auto-Tunes sometimes had trouble with octave tracking, resulting in nasty side effects.Īnd while vocals are the main focus, other monophonic instruments are also catered for - including bass - by way of the Input Type control. Auto-Tune Evo certainly pulls no punches and is noticeably more accurate than previous versions, and over a broader variety of signal sources, too.
