Quantizing Pitches

You can quantize the audio pitch to the nearest semitone position.

Prerequisite

The audio file is segmented and the segments are correct. You have opened the audio in the Sample Editor and activated Edit VariAudio in the VariAudio section.

Procedure

Select one or several segments.

Note
If you hold down Shift and double-click a segment, all following segments of the same pitch are selected.
In the VariAudio section of the Sample Editor Inspector, move the Quantize Pitch slider to the right.

Note
You can also quantize the pitch by dragging the Quantize Pitch smart control in the middle of the bottom edge of the segment upwards or downwards.

Result

The Solo algorithm is selected automatically, and the segment pitch is quantized softly.

Note

In the Sample Editor category of the Key Commands dialog, you can set up a key command for Quantize Pitch. If you use the key command, the segments are immediately quantized to the next semitone position.
