Pitch Quantize

[DP Fan]

This is either a question or a suggestion for MOTU.

What I am doing:

I'm working on a song in D Major. I'm using pitch correction on the vocals. When I use the "Quantize Pitch" feature, it shifts everything to the closest exact pitch in the chromatic scale.

What I want to do:

I want to use the "Quantize Pitch" and have it shift everything to the closest pitch in a D Major scale, rather than the chromatic scale. No G-sharps, F-naturals, etc.

What I've tried:

I tried setting the Key to D Major in the conductor track. This made no difference. I looked around for an option like this...and found none.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
DP Fan

Hi

After Quantizing Pitch:

- do the editing manually if you have to correct to a larger intervals than half steps.

Anyone have a way to quantize pitch to specific key? This would be a real timesaver.

I believe the Transpose function (region menu) will work with audio pitching. You select all the pitches you want to change and then you apply the function.

Thanks. That's really cool that the transpose functions work for audio. I just tried it and it's helpful.

I wish there was a "contrain to scale" checkbox option when performing a regular "quantize pitch" command.

You can customize Pitch Quantize (and many other things) in the "commands" window.
I have set "q" for quantize pitch and Shift + "q" for unquantize pitch.
Just my 2 cent.
