Pitch correction controls and special effects

Tune LT keeps the workflow short. You set how fast the correction happens, the length of note transitions and the correction strength. Lower the strength to keep the natural expression of a take, or push the controls to extremes for the hard, stepped correction that is often associated with the T-Pain sound.

The plugin can also create deliberate effects, such as octave drops. Its scale features let you conform notes to 43 traditional and ethnic scales, or customize a scale by marking notes as legal or illegal.
