Real-time Tuning Guide with Pitch Correction

The auto-chromatic pitch correction helps you sing more in tune, much like a metronome helps for playing in time. It's like singing with a singer who has perfect pitch. This lets you know when you're out of tune and you naturally decide to correct yourself, or not.

Auto Chromatic Pitch Correction

In the same way a metronome helps for playing in time or how singing along with a singer who has perfect pitch helps for singing in tune, the auto chromatic pitch correction in VoiceTone Correct can improve your pitch performance.

Setting up for pitch correction has never been easier. The typical adjustments of key, scale and attack time aren't present because the chromatic scale works for all western scale-based songs and the rest of the parameters are pre-set. Just set the Correct control to the center detente, press the footswitch and it's done.

You can choose to send your pitch corrected voice to the house, in which case it will gently adjust your pitch for the audience, or you can send your corrected voice only to the monitors to be used as your guide. The two output jacks make these configurations possible.

Adaptive Shape Control Fits Your Voice

More than the typical multiband EQ found in your average mixer, the Adaptive Shape feature seeks to provide a pleasant balance between low and high frequencies for your voice.

Self-Adjusting Adaptive Compression

Setting up a typical compressor can be cumbersome and time consuming. Setting Correct's Adaptive Compression feature to the default positions allow it to analyse your performance and provide gentle-on-the-ears compression wherever you sing on your mic.

De-Ess Smoothes Sibilance

You probably didn't think you needed this feature, but when you brighten up and compress your voice, S sounds typically jump out. At loud performance volumes, this can lead to discomfort for your audience. Correct's De-Ess feature reduces the volume of only sibilant sounds while retaining the pleasant brightness on the rest of your singing.
