Snapping Segment Pitches While Editing

You can snap the pitches of note segments to a musical scale while editing. This is useful if you want to use a musical scale for your VariAudio pitch changes.

Prerequisite

  • The audio file is segmented.

  • You have opened the audio in the Sample Editor, and you have activated Edit VariAudio in the VariAudio section.

  • The Scale Assistant is either set to Use Editor Scale, and you have chosen a scale suggestion, or it is set to Use Chord Track, and you have activated a Chord Track Mode.

Procedure

  1. Open the Pitch Snap Mode pop-up menu, and select an option to define how the segments snap to the pitches of the scale.
  2. Activate Snap Pitch Editing to snap the pitches of the note segments to the selected musical scale when you move them.
  3. In the event display, move the note segments to the desired pitches.

Result

The note segments snap to the nearest pitches of the scale. The Pitch Snap Mode is taken into account.
