Nectar 2 offers a new resizable component plug-in dedicated to offline pitch correction simplifying the manual pitch correction process from within your DAW.

Note: The component Pitch Editor plug-in is only available in Nectar 2: Vocal Production Suite.

Capturing Audio

To begin performing offline pitch correction you must first click the Capture button then playback audio from your DAW. The Capture button puts the Pitch Editor plug-in into record mode and will begin capturing any audio played back through the plug-in. If you are using ReWire, you may click the Play button after the Capture button to initiate capture. Learn more about setting up ReWire in your host here.

Note: The detected note regions will not be displayed until after you stop capture.

Note Workspace

After capture, the detected notes will be displayed as regions on the Note Workspace. Superimposed on the note regions are drawings of the pitch contours that make up each note.

Piano Roll

The Piano Roll on the left side of the Note Workspace represents the note scale. Enabled notes of the given scale are designated by an illuminated tick to the right of the associated piano roll key. By default, the Piano Roll (in Chromatic mode) will have all notes enabled.

Timeline

The Timeline of captured audio is represented at the top of the Note Workspace. You may click anywhere on the timeline to move the playhead to that location when using ReWire.

Tip: When hovering over the Piano Roll or Timeline you may use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the note or time scale in the workspace. You may also click and drag the piano roll to scroll vertically.

Note Regions

Notes detected after capture are represented by Note Regions on the Piano Roll and are shaped corresponding to their amplitude envelopes.

Pitch Contours

The Pitch Contours of each detected note will be superimposed on the Note Regions. These contours represent the continuous pitch variation of your vocals. This allows you to easily detect pitch variations such as vibrato and glissandos. By default, these contours will represent pitch after correction.

Note Scroll Bar

The scroll bar on the right side of the Note Workspace allows you to scroll vertically and zoom in and out within the Piano Roll of the Note Workspace. Additionally the scroll bar has visual representations of the location of capture notes in the form of orange ticks.

Tip: When hovering over the scroll bar you may use your mouse wheel to scroll up and down on the note scale in the workspace.

Note Zoom Buttons

Below the Note Scroll Bar, explicit zoom in and out buttons are available for vertical zooming on the Piano Roll.

Timeline Scroll Bar

The scroll bar on the bottom of the Note Workspace allows you to scroll horizontally and zoom in and out within the Timeline of the Note Workspace.

Tip: When hovering over the scroll bar you may use your mouse wheel to scroll left and right on the Timeline in the workspace.

Timeline Zoom Buttons

To the right of the Timeline Scroll Bar, explicit zoom in and out buttons are available for horizontal zooming on the Timeline.

Waveform Display

After capture, the waveform of the input audio will be represented in a display at the top of the Pitch Editor plug-in. This display may also be used for navigation and zooming within the Timeline.

Selection Handles

The Waveform Display features Selection Handles, which indicate the portion of audio viewable within the Note Workspace. You may click and drag these handles to expand the viewable region or click and drag the selection within the handles to navigate across the timeline.

Tip: When hovering over the Waveform Display you may use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the timescale in the workspace.

Transport Controls

Transport Controls are available when using ReWire to control playback from within the Pitch Editor plug-in.

Capture Button

To begin capturing note data, you must first click the Capture Button and then either click the Play Button when using ReWire, or click play in your DAW.

Play Button

The Play Button begins playback at the current playhead location.

Stop Button

The Stop Button stops playback at the current playhead location.

Skip Backward Button

The Skip Backward Button instantly moves the playhead to the beginning of the captured portion of audio.

Skip Forward Button

The Skip Forward Button instantly moves the playhead to the end of the captured portion of audio. It may be used to quickly navigate to the end of captured audio in order to capture subsequent audio after the captured portion.

Loop Selection/Transport Button

The Loop Selection/Transport Button loops playback of selected notes within the note workspace.

Note Editing Tools

Cursor

The Cursor is the default tool selection in the Pitch Editor plug-in. It is used for selecting notes and for dragging Note Regions vertically within the Piano Roll to change their pitch. Clicking and dragging with this tool allows you to lasso select multiple notes at once. The following actions may performed with the Cursor tool:

Auditioning Notes

You may click and hold on any Note Region to hear playback of that note at its current pitch. This preview audio reflects a note’s corrected pitch, not just its original pitch.

Dragging Notes

You may easily click and drag Note Regions to a given note lane. Note Regions will snap to note lanes, unless you hold the Control button while dragging them (but after selecting them), which allows you to freely adjust a note’s pitch.

Double-click to Fix

You may simply double-click any Note Region to lock it to the nearest note lane. Double-click the same Note Region again to return it to its original pitch.

Split Tool

The Split Tool allows you to divide a single detected note into two individual Note Regions that you may then edit independently. Simply click the Split Tool icon, then you may click anywhere in a Note Region to split it at that location into separate Note Regions.

Merge Tool

The Merge Tool allows you to heal a separation between two detected notes making them one unified Note Region. Simply select two or more neighboring Note Regions then click the Merge Tool icon to unify the individual selected notes into one new Note Region.

Zoom Controls

Zoom to Selection

The Zoom to Selection control allows you to easily zoom to a specific location in the Piano Roll/Timeline. Simply click the Zoom to Selection icon, then click and drag across a specific location in the Note Workspace to zoom to fit that selection.

Zoom to Show All Captured Notes

The Zoom to Show All Captured Notes control allows you to instantly zoom in or out to show all the detected Note Regions within the audio you have captured.

Resetting/Deleting Notes

Resetting Note Values

After selecting one or more Note Regions within the Note Workspace, you may click the Reset button to return those notes to their original pitch location and to reset their associated Note Controls at the bottom of the interface.

Deleting Notes

After selecting one or more Note Regions within the Note Workspace, you may click the Trash icon to remove that note from the Note Workspace and it will no longer be pitch corrected.

Tip: You may right-click within the workspace to reveal an option to delete all Note Regions on the workspace.

Note Controls

Click on any detected Note Region with the cursor tool in order to select that particular note for editing. Shift-click multiple Note Regions in order to select many at a time.

Setting Your Vocal Range

Vocal Range is an important parameter to set correctly. The specified Vocal Range will control how the Pitch Editor processes audio. Start with the Middle setting for most performers, but if you notice any undesirable behavior or artifacts in the detected notes, experiment with the Low and High options to achieve the best results.

Formant Controls

Formant Preservation

Enabled by default, this option preserves the original formants of your captured vocals, allowing pitch to be corrected while retaining the original character of the performer’s timbre. When this option is enabled, you also have the ability to fine-tune formants using the Formant Shift and Global Formant Scaling controls for each Note Region.

Formant Shift (semitones)

This control allows you to adjust the vocal formants of your captured vocal audio. While in many cases this can be left at 0 in order to preserve the formants as they were originally recorded, adjusting this parameter can aid in finding more natural results when performing larger pitch shifts beyond a few notes in a given direction.

Global Formant Scaling

Nectar's Pitch Correction algorithm will preserve the formants of your incoming vocal takes exactly as they were recorded. These formants are what give the voice its timbre and are very important in keeping your vocals sounding as natural as possible when pitch shifting.

However, it can be desirable to shift the formants slightly in the direction of the desired pitch shift, as this corresponds to what humans naturally do. When singers sing a higher note, our vocal formants also shift slightly higher. Global Formant Scaling can sometimes help achieve more natural results when necessary.

Vibrato

This control allows you to enhance and reduce available vibrato in captured notes by accentuating or smoothing out the variations of the pitch contour for a given Note Region. Notice the changes in pitch contours when adjusting Vibrato.

Correction Speed (ms)

This controls how quickly the selected regions will be snapped to their specified pitches. This control can be used to adjust Nectar's note transitions and can control how transparent or processed the pitch correction will sound.

Correction Strength

Use this parameter to define how much the incoming vocal will be corrected to the specified pitch. At %100, the incoming vocal will be snapped entirely to the desired pitch, whereas at %50, the incoming vocal will only be corrected half of the way from the original pitch to the desired pitch. Notice as you adjust Correction Strength how a Note Region’s pitch contours are affected.

Snapping Notes to a Set Key/Scale

After capture, you may set the Key/Scale of your vocals to force them into specific note lanes.

Snap To Scale

After setting the Root and Scale settings described below, clicking Snap To Scale forces all note regions into note lanes available in the specified Key/Scale.

Root

Here you can define the root note or key that your vocal takes are in. It is important to set an accurate Root Note as this can help the pitch correction algorithm determine the best possible pitches for your vocals to correct to.

Type

Chromatic

A scale in which every note of every octave will be available as a pitch your vocals could be corrected to. If you are not sure of the scale that your vocal takes are in, be sure to set your scale type to Chromatic in order to get the best results.

Note: When in chromatic mode, as every pitched note is available for pitch correction, the defined root note has no effect.

Major / Minor / Custom

Here you can select to snap your incoming vocal pitches to either a Major, Minor or Custom scale of your choosing based upon your specified Root Note. When defining a Custom scale, click upon the notes of the popup keyboard that you wish to enable as options for pitch correction. When the individual notes are enabled, they will turn gold or dark gold for black keys. White and black notes will be disabled and not used in pitch correction.
