The Hardtune effect

The Hardtune effect block corrects the pitch of the Lead voice
by gently or not-so-gently nudging it to a target pitch.
This effect block can produce everything from the (in)famous
Auto Tuning effect used by Cher and Kanye West to gentle
pitch correction.
As with the Harmony effect, it requires either a stream of
chords from an instrument or a fixed key and scale in order
to sound musically-related to your songs. The Key and Scale
parameters are found in the main and advanced edit pages of
the Harmony effect respectively.

Style parameter
The Style parameter lets you select from a range of pre-
authored styles.
Pop setting
The pop setting creates the classic full-on Hardtune sound.
Country Gliss setting
The Country Gliss setting leaves between-note pitch "slides"
uncorrected – but closer to scale tones, hard correction is
applied.
Robot setting
The Robot setting forces anything you sing or say to a single
target note. For this setting, Key is ignored.
Correct Natural setting
The Correct Natural setting applies more subtle values for a
natural correction sound.
Correct Chromatic setting
The Correct Chromatic setting allows you to use correction
without setting Key and Scale. This is the same as the Pitch Cor-
rect Amount setting found in the Setup menu. However, using
the Hardtune block with this setting gives you the luxury of
using simple pitch correction just when you want it as opposed
to having it set globally and active full-time.
Drone setting
When the Key parameter of the Harmony effect is set to Auto,
the Drone setting forces your pitch to the root note of an
instrument chord.
Gender Bender
The Gender Bender setting applies no pitch correction but
instead enables pitch shifting and Gender manipulation.
Shift parameter*
The Shift parameter applies a pitch shift. The range is ±36
semitones.
