Changing Pitches using MIDI Input

You can change the pitches of one or several selected segments by pressing a key on your MIDI keyboard or by using the On-Screen Keyboard.

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. You have connected and set up a MIDI keyboard.

Procedure

  1. 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.

  2. In the VariAudio section, activate Change Note Pitch via MIDI Input.
  3. Do one of the following to change the pitch:
    • Press a key on your MIDI keyboard.

    • Use the On-Screen Keyboard to change the pitch.

    Note

    The more the pitch deviates from the original pitch, the less likely it is that your audio sounds natural. You cannot choose pitches above C5 and below E0.

Result

The Solo algorithm is selected automatically, and the segment pitch is raised or lowered according to the note you play. If you select several segments, the pitch of the first selected segment is changed to the pitch of the MIDI note you play and the pitches of the other segments are changed by the same amount.

Note

The MIDI Input only affects the pitches of the segments. MIDI controller data are ignored.

After Completing This Task

Deactivate MIDI Input.
