[. . . ] If you wish to change them, select the Automatic Mode and change the Key pop-up, Scale pop-up, or the Scale Detune setting, respectively. (Changing the Scale Detune setting will also result in the scale pitch graph lines moving up or down relative to the tracked pitch. ) Then, return to Graphical Mode. PITCH GRAPH SCALE The Pitch Graph Scale Buttons control the horizontal (time) and vertical (pitch) scaling of the graph. Clicking the appropriate "+" button causes the view to zoom in, while clicking a "-" button causes it to zoom out. NOTE: The horizontal scale buttons always control the Pitch Graph. They also control the Envelope Graph when it is set to "Tie" (see below). CURSOR PITCH DISPLAY The exact pitch value of the cursor position on the Pitch Graph is constantly displayed as a note name +/- cents. This display is always relative to the currently selected scale (i. e. , only scale notes will appear in the pitch display). THE ENVELOPE GRAPH DISPLAY The Envelope Graph displays the amplitude (loudness) envelope of the sound whose pitch is shown in the Pitch Graph. ALL/TIE BUTTONS The Envelope Graph's horizontal (time) scale is controlled by the "All" and "Tie" buttons. Clicking the All button causes the envelope graph to display the entire time scale represented by the current buffer setting. This is useful for locating and selecting various portions of audio spread over the duration of a song. Clicking the Tie button slaves the position of the Envelope Graph to that of the Pitch Graph. When this setting is selected, the horizontal scale of the Envelope Graph is controlled by the Pitch Graph horizontal scale buttons. 35 The Graphical Tools The graphical tools are used in conjunction with the edit buttons to create the desired target pitch contour. NOTE: In addition to clicking on the various tools, if your host passes key presses to plug-ins, you can also select the various tools by pressing the number keys 1-7*. * NOTE ALSO: Some hosts reserve the numeric keypad for host keyboard shortcuts even when a plug-in window is active. For that reason, the tool selection shortcuts mentioned above are specifically assigned only to the number keys that appear above the letter keys on the QWERTY portion of your keyboard. THE LINE TOOL (1) The Line Tool is used to draw multi-segment straight lines on the Pitch Graph. Start the process by selecting the Line Tool and clicking anywhere on the Pitch Graph to set an anchor point. As you move the cursor, a line will extend from the anchor point to the cursor position. Click again to set a second anchor point and define the first segment of your pitch contour. Continue clicking and defining lines until your contour is complete. [. . . ] The selection area is reflected in both displays. HAND TOOL (7): Drag in any direction in the pitch display to move the area displayed. Drag in the Envelope display to move the area displayed horizontally. NOTE: This only works if "Tie" is selected. [. . . ]
