Pitch Detection Curve

The pitch detection curve shows you where in a sample the pitch can be detected properly.

To show the pitch detection curve, click the corresponding button to the left of the Sample display.

For example, if you use a sample that has a constant pitch but that shows peaks and troughs at some positions in the pitch detection curve, this means that the detection is incorrect at these positions. This is not unusual if you work with complex audio samples. However, if waves are extracted at these positions, the result of the wave extraction will most probably not have the expected result. You can prevent HALion from using incorrectly detected pitches as extraction positions, either by correcting the pitch detection curve or by setting the extraction markers manually.

  • To correct the curve, use the Sensitivity control on the toolbar. Set it to a value where fewer or no peaks occur in the curve.

Note

If the pitch detection fails, that is, if the pitch curve has gaps, a neighboring detected pitch is used. If this is not what you want, you can use a fixed window size.
