Powered by the same core technology as Antares' professional standard Auto-Tune 7, Auto-Tune EFX 2 is the quickest, easiest-to-use
tool for real-time pitch correction and creating the iconic Auto-Tune Vocal
Effect. And now, with its new Auto-Motion Vocal Pattern Generation, you can add
a variety of intricate musical patterns to your track for an entirely new (and
sonically dramatic) vocal effect.
Designed to make almost everything automatic, Auto-Tune EFX 2 provides two
different flavors of the iconic Auto-Tune Vocal Effect as well as Antares'
world-renown real-time pitch correction. Just select your desired effect type,
set the key and scale of your track, and Auto-Tune EFX 2 does the rest. For
songs with complex chord progressions or modulations, you can optionally set up
custom scales or use your host's automation facility to allow the processing of
virtually any vocal line.
New in Auto-Tune EFX 2 is Auto-Motion Vocal Pattern Generation. Auto-Motion
takes advantage of Auto-Tune's superb pitch-shifting ability to add intricate
musical patterns to a vocal performance.
Pitch Correction
Like Auto-Tune 7, Auto-Tune EFX 2's pitch correction works by continuously
tracking the pitch of your vocal and comparing it to the notes in a
(customizable) scale. The scale note closest to the input pitch is identified as
the target note. If your vocal's pitch exactly matches the target note, no
correction is applied. If your vocal's pitch varies from the target note, either
sharp or flat, the output pitch is smoothly corrected to the target note.
Auto-Tune Vocal Effect
The Auto-Tune Vocal Effect is what is technically known as “pitch
quantization.” Instead of allowing all of the small variations in pitch and the
gradual transitions between notes that are a normal part of singing, the
Auto-Tune Vocal Effect limits each note to an exact pitch, stripping out any
variation, as well as forcing instantaneous transitions between notes.
Auto-Motion Vocal Pattern Generation
Auto-Motion Vocal Pattern Generation is a new effect that adds intricate
musical patterns to a vocal performance. Patterns are selected from a built-in
(and expandable) library in a variety of styles and can be synced to your host's
tempo at various beat divisions. At any point in your vocal track, simply click
the Auto-Motion Trigger button to send your vocal on a melodic adventure.
