HUMAN PITCH CORRECTION (HPC)
| Human Pitch Correction. Samples recorded with "hpc" (human pitch correction) sound very "real" especially during medium and fast phrases. This is due to the fact that when strings players play, sometimes, they are likely to be slightly out of tune at the beginning of each note. However, this is a desired effect. Without it, the result can sound rather sterile and "flat" and even "synthy". With this new HPC control, you can turn on or off the hpc feature, or use it variably above certain velocity points. The yellow arrow below points to the HPC button. The button shows whether the "HPC" samples are being heard or not. If it lights up while you're playing, then the HPC samples are heard. If it goes dark, then the HPC samples are NOT being heard. To either turn off, or to set a velocity switch point for the HPC samples, either click the HPC button.....  or choose "Choose to trigger "HPC" via velocity, and then set the velocity switch." from the "SETTINGS" menu.  You will see a knob appear. With this, you can: 1 - Set a value above which the HPC samples will be heard. Any time a note is played with a velocity greater than what is set with this knob, the HPC button will light up. So during velocity-controlled HPC, the HPC button itself will have no effect other than showing/hiding the HPC knob. 2 - Turn the HPC samples off all the time. If you want to turn off HPC altogether, then turn the knob all the way up to 127. That means that only a velocity that is greater than 127 will trigger the HPC samples....which is impossible since the highest possible velocity value is 127. Additionally, if you set this knob to 0, and then click the HPC button (or automate) until it is not lit, then you have effectively turned off the HPC samples as well. 3 - Turn the samples on all the time. If you want to hear the HPC samples all the time, then turn this knob all the way down to 0 (You'll see the HPC button change from "Vel HPC" to "HPC".) and then click (or automate) the HPC button to make sure it is lit up. So when the HPC knob is set to 0, the HPC button effectively becomes a toggle between HPC on, and HPC off.  |
