Possible New AutoTune Method for the Phattys?
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 5:26 pm
Hey Amos...
Howdy. I am wondering if there is another way to implement AutoTune (AT) on all the Phattys?
Right now... with AT On... and when a Phatty is Powered ON... AT attempts to tune to whatever the last Midi Note it was sent.
However... AT seems to wait for the Phatty's Oscillators to warm up to their "normal operating temperature"... before AT can "Hold" it's tuning!
When I Power Up my SP... and play a "C" note using OSC 1... my Tuner says it's a G# note... "below" the "C"... so it starts down 4 semitones.
Then as it warms up... the pitch gradually rises UP to a "C"... but takes about 60 minutes on my SP to reach... then Hold... proper pitch!
Why not on Power UP... have AT "sense" that OSC 1 is Way Flat... and have it raise the G# note up to the "C" note right away?!
This would be similar to... if a Phatty was in "Fine Tune ON" mode... and a User tuned it up to pitch manually... with the Fine Tune knob.
So in effect... AT would raise OSC 1's pitch up to the "C" note IMMEDIATELY... meaning there would be "NO Warm Up To Pitch Time" to wait for!!! :)
Then... as the Phatty warms up... AT would effectively keep "lowering" OSC 1's pitch... while keeping it's "C" Pitch constant...
until OSC 1 warms UP to the "Actual C Pitch"! Then... when the Phatty is at "normal operating temperature"... AT would simply Hold it there... in tune!
Ideally... if this could be done... it should also apply to OSC 2 as well... so there's no waiting for any 2 Oscillator Patches'
"Detuned Amount" to stabilize... as AT would already be tuning both Oscillators Up to Pitch... so as to "Hold" a Phatty's Tuning constant...
"Right from Power ON!" :)
Hopefully... this makes sense to you... and could possibly be implemented in the Phatty's OS... sometime in the near future?! :)
Many thanks!
Cheers,
Brian :)
