Changing Pitches by MIDI Input

You can change segment pitches by pressing a key on your MIDI keyboard or by using the Virtual Keyboard.

Prerequisite

The audio file is segmented and the segments are correct. You have opened the audio in the Sample Editor and activated the Pitch & Warp tool in the VariAudio section. You have connected and set up a MIDI keyboard.

Procedure

  1. Select one or several segments.
  2. In the VariAudio section, activate MIDI Input.


  3. Perform one of the following actions to change the pitch:

    • Press a key on your MIDI keyboard.

    • Use the Virtual 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 note 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.
