- Request: Allow midi input for manual pitch correction in Reatune
We really just need automation of the manual input events. It would be nice if the automation was midi based so things like pitch bend cc could modulate pitches as well.
- Benefit
This function allows all sorts of time-saving when tracking, unique music styles, and some nice artistic effects for composition. I use this function with clean vocals, EDM FX, instrument tracks, orchestration tracks, and more.
- Reason
Using the manual correction "pen" is tedious and since there is no grid, sometimes getting the timing correct is difficult. Making curves is not possible, which means manufacturing vibrato is course at best. Here are some examples of things that would be possible: linking the pitch event to pitch wheel or LFO (to make vibrato), linking the pitch event to LFO with amplitude linked to mod wheel (to make variable depth vibrato).
- Implementation Suggestion
Allowing automation of the pitch shift would be ideal.
As an inferior (temporary/beta testing) alternative, create an "accept midi input" checkbox that directly maps midi notes to the pen tool output.
