8. Set the Retune control to 20 and play the audio track using this scale.
NOTE: You can also instantaneously define a scale by playing all of the
notes of the scale as a chord (i.e., all scale notes played on the same
beat) and recording that into a MIDI track. This is an ideal way to use
Auto-Tune 4 in music with many key (scale) changes.

With Target Notes Via MIDI, Auto-Tune 4 looks at its MIDI input in real time

results.
The most interesting part of the Target Notes Via MIDI feature is that it
only operates for the duration of the MIDI note — that is, when there is no
current MIDI Note On value, Auto-Tune 4 is effectively in Bypass mode. This
means that if you delay the MIDI notes, then the audio performs its attacks
as performed and then corrects to pitch when the MIDI note occurs (of
course, at whatever Speed is set). In the case of the ‘Somewhere’ vocal
performance, most of the intonation problems happen during the notes’
sustain portions. Try moving the notes in the MIDI file around and listen to
the results. This gives far more subtle control than Automatic Mode alone,
while not being quite as tweaky as operating in Graphical Mode.
