To select Key and Scale, you want to be in the

Key/Scale Edit mode, shown above. Once in this

editing window, Key is selected by clicking on a note

on the piano. Select the scale using the spin dial

above the piano keys.

The Difference

SmartKey harmony usually requires you to enter

the one key that works for a whole song. SmartKey

harmonies will sound correct in many songs but not

all, and this is why you have a choice between it and

SmartChord. SmartKey harmonies are also more

active in harmony motion.

SmartChord harmony requires you to input a

different chord change for every chord in a song.

They can be applied to almost any song you can play.

This is the only practical difference between the two

harmony types.

Pitch Shift

This mode doesn’t have the “smarts” that the

other control modes do, so you’re best to stay away

from harmonies and use this for special effects and

doubling (unless you actually want your harmonies

to sound like Gregorian chants). You can produce

some interesting spoken-word effects by muting your

input voice and pitch-shifting a single effect voice

down a few tones or even an octave. Combine this

with a little male gender and you can get pretty close

to a newscast voiceover. Subtle pitch shifts are

better, though, for changing male to female and vice

versa.

Pitch Shift mode is also handy for unison or

octave-doubling effects. Turn on all four voices and

place the interval settings in the middle. If you add

detuning and a bit of scoop style, this will thicken up

your vocal as if you had quadruple-tracked your

voice. You can also take one or two of the effect

voices and put them in octave positions for

interesting effects, too.

Reverb

When any of the harmony modes are being used,

you can also add a reverb harmony effect. However,

to engage the reverb harmony effect you must be in

Stereo Output mode. This sends your harmonies to

one set of stereo returns on your D8B, and your

reverb to another set of stereo returns. Reverb can

be very useful in placing your harmonies deeper in

your mix.

Operation–Pitch Correction Mode

To make sure you are in Pitch Correction mode

select “Pitch Correct” from the Vocal Studio screen.

What is Pitch Corrector Mode?

Everyone mixing vocals has experienced out-of-

tune vocal tracks. Typically, there hasn’t been much

at your finger tips to fix those nasty notes. Some

lucky folks have been able to invest thousands of

dollars in computer editing suites to do pitch

correction. IVL Vocal Studio gives a simple yet

effective pitch corrector to doctor your vocal tracks

with your D8B. Vocal Studio’s pitch corrector is

operated manually. Therefore, you have control over

pitch fixing at all times. Generally, the less you

correct the note, the more natural the result.

However, the pitch corrector can force a vocal note

anywhere.

What are the Controls?

The Pitch Corrector screen is separated into four

control areas:

Pitch Bender is used to bend out-of-tune vocal

notes to the desired pitch. The pitch bender works

just as a spring-loaded pitch bender would work on a

keyboard. Use the mouse to drag the pitch bender up

to raise the pitch. Drag the pitch bender down to

lower the pitch. When you release your mouse

button, the pitch bender will spring back to the

center position, where the pitch will be unaffected.

You can also use an external pitch bender from a

MIDI keyboard with the same results.
