Audio clip Pitch automation
Audio clip Pitch automation
Hello,
I would like to do an audio clip automation of pitch going from 0 to +12 semitones in 4 bars....
with a "continuous" curve (not +1 semitone +1 semitone +1 semitone but more continuously)...
How to do that with Live9 ?
Cheers

Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
Someone an idea ?
Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
Go in the envelope control section of the clip, select clip and transposition modulation... put one dot at the beginning and a dot at the end and raise the end dot to where you want it to be. adjust the warp modes to what sounds best. thats it .
Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
automation curve sounds better than straight line to me... I just did it to make sure I gave correct info.
Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
No this doesn't work like it does in SoundForge's "Pitch Shift/Bend" tool.
With Live, even if I draw a continuous curve, the pitch automation is not continuous, the pitch increases by step (+1 semitone, +1 semitone, etc.)
Any idea to do a continuous pitch shift with Live 9 ?
Like a "Siren" sound?

Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
You must have done something different cause it does do smooth continuous pitch change (not in steps).nc2010 wrote:the pitch automation is not continuous, the pitch increases by step (+1 semitone, +1 semitone, etc.)
Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
So if you take a 10 seconds-long constant pitch note (example a 10-seconds sinewave), and you draw a pitch automation curve, it will produce a smooth continuous pitch change, like a siren , are you sure ?You must have done something different cause it does do smooth continuous pitch change (not in steps).
Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
I tried and you're right, it works, as long as you choose Warp = Tones, Complex, Complex pro but not Beats or Re-pitch.
It's possible to create a smooth continuous pitch automation ...
Thanks!

Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
OP wants "smooth" pitch change. That does a stepped change.

Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
That's because you're using the Beat warp mode. Use any other one and it'll be smooth.StickPlayer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 8:32 pmOP wants "smooth" pitch change. That does a stepped change.

Re: Audio clip Pitch automation
The other thing is that it’ll be stepped or smooth based on the x-positions of the nodes. If you keep quantized nodes or use the stepped draw modes, it will be stepped. If you nudge the ones above each other to the left and right a little then it’ll make more of a ramp. This can be done in the smaller scale or on a much larger scale.
