Humanization - menus H0-H7

The term “humanization” simply means the application

of processes designed to increase realism.All harmony

modes usually benefit from careful application of

humanization styles that make each harmony voice

respond slightly differently to your singing voice.

Humanization is especially useful to make Notes and

Chords harmonies sound more natural.The rigid pitch

definitions imposed by MIDI don’t automatically lend

themselves to matching the small pitch wobbles, timing

inconsistencies and varying volume envelopes of a

human singing group.

Humanization styles are made up of:

o Onset pitch events - This is also known as

“scooping” which adds a generated pitch

trajectory for each new note that is different than

the sung note.

o Pitch modulation - a random wave generator

wobbles the pitch in non-periodic ways to

simulate even the finest singers’ pitch variation.

o Timing delay and modulation - Singers are unable

to start notes at the same time with the

exactness of a machine so this algorithm applies

slight delays to the onset of notes and then adds

modulated time variation to sustained portions of

notes.

o Level (volume) modulation - This effect is like a

subtle tremolo with a non-periodic or semi-

random waveform that simulates the way different

singers change note volumes as they sing.

H0: Humanize Style

You may choose from 24 pre-programmed

humanization styles that were created at the factory to

speed editing. Each voice can have a unique style. The

styles are loosely ordered from subtle to overt with a

general style quality indicated by the name. As you

change the values with the EDIT knobs, the screen

briefly shows the name of the style you have selected

before reverting to the menu name.

The styles were designed in groups of four so that if

you apply all four numbered “Natural” styles (one for

each voice) for example, each voice would respond

slightly differently but still would remain within the

“flavour” of the style name. Applying similarly-named

humanization styles to multiple voices is not required

however, allowing you can mix and match to your

liking.

All humanization styles but the last four have scoop, or

onset events pre-programmed into them in varying

degrees.The last four, called PitTimLvl 1 through 4,have

none to allow you more programming variation.

H1: Humanize Amount

You can vary the amount of humanization

independently for each voice. All the styles except the

last four were designed at middle values to allow you

to add or remove effects as you see fit. The last four

were designed at low values so you can create wild

special effects as you experiment with high values.

H2:Vibrato Style

Vibrato assists in providing separation between your

dry singing voice and the harmonies. Even the smallest

amount of vibrato applied to your harmony voices can

achieve this. There are 28 styles available in

progressively more intensity as you browse down the

list.Again, they are grouped in fours for when you have

four voices enabled that you want vibrato on but you

want them slightly out of sync to sound more natural.

Of course, mixing styles is useful and recommended.

Note that changed style or parameter values will be

heard at the next sung note.

H3:Vibrato Amount

You can vary the amount of vibrato intensity of the

current vibrato style independently for each voice. All

the styles were designed at middle values to allow you

to add or remove vibrato as you like.

H4: Detune, Pitch,Time and Level Trims

Detune applies a slightly different amount of pre-set

and opposite pitch shift to each voice as you raise the

value. At maximum, +/- 50 cents of detune is applied.

Pit (Pitch Trim),Tim (Timing Trim) and Lev (Level Trim)

allow you to adjust the amounts of these components

within the current humanization style. For example, if

you like the sound of the Pitch and Timing variation in

the style but would rather that the levels didn’t

fluctuate, you could lessen or remove this part of the

effect. Note that a 100% value in this menu is only as

much effect as what is applied in the Humanize Amount

menu (H1). The Detune parameter operates on its

own.

H5:Tuning and Hold Release

The Tuning parameter allows you to affect tiny pitch

adjustments to your harmony intervals to achieve

Equal, Just or Barbershop tuning.
