Tutorial 2: The Improved Targeting Function
This tutorial will demonstrate the purpose and use of the Automatic
Mode's Improved Targeting function.
Mode's Improved Targeting function.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import “wide_vibrato” into a track of your host program. This
is a recording of a male voice singing a sustained "G" with a pro-
nounced vibrato. Play the track so that you are familiar with the
original audio. Despite the wide vibrato, you will notice that the
singer's pitch drifts alternately sharp and flat.

2. Set up Auto-Tune 4 to be an insert effect on that track.
3. Set Auto-Tune 4 to Automatic Mode.
4. Set the Key to “C” and the Scale to “Chromatic.”
5. Set the Input Type to Low Male Voice
6. Set Retune Speed to a value of 24.
7. Use your host program's controls to Bypass Auto-Tune 4. Set
“wide_vibrato” to loop continuously and put your host program into
Play mode. Watch the blue Detected Pitch indication on Auto-Tune 4's
Virtual Keyboard. As you will see, the singer's vibrato is so wide that it
consistently gets closer to G# and F# than G, causing Auto-Tune to
intermittently select those notes as target pitches.

8. Check that Improved Targeting is not selected and remove Auto-Tune 4
from Bypass. Watch the Detected Pitch indication and listen to the
result. As you will hear, whenever Auto-Tune 4 thinks G# or F# is the
target pitch, it will move the input closer to those notes, in effect
making the situation worse.

With Improved Targeting engaged, Auto-Tune 4’s vibrato identification
algorithm recognizes the pitch excursions as vibrato and continues to
use "G" as the target pitch.
