Parameters
Objective mappings: what each control actually does, with a link to the page that explains why. Nothing here is a metaphor: where a knob maps to a number, the number is stated.
| Parameter | Range | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| Source | scale / MIDI / chord | Where targets come from: the key/scale grid, your held MIDI chord, or the split (lead follows the scale, harmony takes the notes you hold). → Deciding, The crowd |
| Key / Scale | keys; scales incl. church modes | The grid of allowed notes for Scale mode. → Deciding |
| Retune | 0–1 | Glide time = (1 − x) × 200 ms; at 1, the snap is instant. → Deciding |
| Amount | 0–1 | Blend between your sung pitch and the glided target; 0 = no correction. → Deciding |
| Formant | 0–1 | Formant scale = 0.5 + x, clamped 0.5–1.5; centre = resonances fully preserved. → Singing |
| Mix | 0–1 | Delay-aligned dry/wet blend, phase-coherent at any setting. → Time |
| Engine | PSOLA / phase vocoder | Which shifter renders the lead. At Range = Full both run warm; the switch is an instant A/B. → Singing |
| Tracker | pYIN / YIN | Which pitch detector runs; the other stays warm (~7 ms re-lock on switch). → Listening |
| Epochs | ZFF / Peak | Which glottal-pulse detector feeds PSOLA. → Singing |
| OLA | WOLA / Pure | Overlap-add normalisation mode, an audible A/B. → Singing |
| Harm 3rd / 5th / 7th | on / off | Diatonic harmony intervals above the lead (Scale source). → The crowd |
| Harm Level | 0–1 | Harmony bus gain; the doubles keep their own fixed gains. → The crowd |
| Spread | 0–1 | Stereo width of the harmony and doubler pan field. → The crowd |
| Lead | root / nearest / near 8va | Which committed chord note the lead corrects to, incl. octave steering. → Deciding |
| Double | off / 2 / 4 | ADT doubler voice count. → The crowd |
| Ensemble | 0–1 | Scales the fixed per-voice difference tables: formant offsets, pitch scatter, entry lags, doubler detune. No randomness: same settings, same crowd. (Appears as "Detune" in host automation lists in the current alpha.) → The crowd |
| Transpose | ±12 st | Global shift, ratio 2^(x/12), smoothed per chunk. |
| Robot | momentary | Lead target becomes the key's tonic. → Deciding |
| Hold | momentary | Freezes the current target while held. → Deciding |
| Tune | 415–466 Hz | Reference pitch; rescales the whole scale grid, identical behaviour at any reference. → Deciding |
| Track | Wide / Follow | Detector corridor behaviour when locked. → Deciding |
| Range | Full / Low / Mid / High | The shifter's pitch floor (65 / 80 / 110 / 160 Hz); the floor sets the latency. → Time |
| Mode | Studio / Live | Grain geometry and latency model. → Time |
| Bypass | on / off | Delay-matched dry path: timing never shifts, transitions never click. → Time |
Presets are portable across VST3 and AU, and the state format is append-only-safe: future parameters will not break saves made today.
