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 above 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 from these positions in most cases, the results are unsatisfactory. You can prevent HALion from using improperly detected pitches as extraction positions, either by correcting the pitch detection curve or by setting the extraction markers manually.

Note

  • When loading long samples, the pitch detection may take a little time to process the entire file. During this time, a progress bar is shown.

  • If the pitch detection fails, that is, if the pitch curve has gaps, an adjacent detected pitch is used. If this is not what you want, you can set a fixed window size from the Window Size Mode pop-up menu on the toolbar.
