The Akai DPS24 has a pitch corrector in its effects patches. As usual,
however, there is no explanation in the manual as to what the controls
do. Since I have never used AutoTune or anything similar, I am
confused. Listening to results of playing with them have not revealed
any consistent understandable effect. So what to these controls do?:
Ratio (0-100%) - I figure this is how close to the desired tone the
pitch would be moved.
Smoothing (0-100%) - Similar to Attack Time on a compressor?
Inhibit (On-Off) - Inhibits what??? The damn thing doesn't need an
on-off switch.
Is there a FAQ or something somewhere that explains pitch correction?
(Maybe should have asked that first. Hmm. I'll go do a search in the
meantime. Back later.)
