HardTune page (5/7)

Ah – HardTune...
Some call it the Cher effect and others refer to
it as Auto-Tune™. Whatever you name it: If you
are looking for that radio-pop tuned sound, this
is your effect.
The HardTune effect block can also be used for
scale-based, natural pitch correction – so don't
discount the effect if you are looking for correc-
tion that does not sound "robotic"!
Style parameter
Use the Style parameter to determine the accu-
racy, speed and "aggressiveness" of the tuning
effect.
Choose from the following styles:
Pop
►
Country Gliss
►
Robot
►
Correct Natural

►

Shift parameter
Use the Shift parameter to shift the note you are
singing up or down by one or more semi-tones.
You can shift your voice up or down by up to 36
semitones.

Gender parameter
Use the Gender parameter to manipulate the tim-
bre of your voice to sound more male or more fe-
male in nature. Extreme settings for this param-
eter will sound very unnatural – but that may be
just the effect you are looking for!
