Detune Automation on S1

[Grace de Richebourg]

Hi

Is there a way in S1 to control the automation of the detune like on synth please ?

 

[Sebastian Holtzer]

Pitch Automation is a new feature or you gonna use retro mix legends cassette if it fits your needs. But even a chorus can do that. Maybe you have a Look at Flair from Native Instruments. It's far more than a simple Flanger but has only a few knobs and is a real beast for getting creative magic. It comes along with Choral and Phasis as part of the NI Mod Pack and the best thing to check out

In a roundabout way. If you drag your sample or audio into Sample One, you could then automate its pitch bend. Ala, like a real Sample player/synth would anyway. I do that with guitar on occasion. Thats one way.

Ah, i`m sure he means more like this: http://NI Flair - Manual - Detune

8. Detune: Alters the pitch of each individual flanger voice in a range of approximately +/- 60 cent. This creates a rich and lively sound similar to the effect of detuning oscillators on a synthesizer. Detune is especially useful when Chord is set to Unison.

Thanks. I mentioned one way. That way is free and available in Studio Pro as it is. Flair is a nice alternative. Its also part of a $69 bundle from NI. Maybe it can be had on its own. Anyway, there's different possibilities to achieve this.

I think the OP means with an existing software instrument. For example if you own KeySolutions Traveler which is an amazing new synth that has come out, if you insert that instrument onto an Instrument track then you can Press A for example to go into automation mode. Click the downward pointing arrow to the the right of 'Display off' Then click on Add/Remove and a large box appears with all the available synth parameters appear on the right hand side.

In Traveler for example the individual oscillators detune parameter appears and then yes you can create a lane for that parameter. In some synths if you put them into Unison mode then an overall Detune knob maybe available on the instrument. If it is then it is likely to appear as an automatable parameter. Then yes you can control that via automation also. But it needs to be available in that right hand list of available parameters that can be automated though. That list can be very long also with some instruments. Often many folders appear here and you have to open them individually to see what parameters they contain also. eg with some GForce synths for example.

That could be. Then any existing synth that has pitch or detunes coarse or fine could have automation by virtue of Control Link. Then place automation, or a macro with autonation against it. Yes, I see how the OP could be suggesting in its original form, a VSTi. After locating the parameter by Control link, drag the hand (now turned white) to the tabs at the bottom of an event, or its own track. Then map it if you choose with a fader, knob, or draw in automation.

Ah OK. I thought he meant the effect on a seperate bus or the main while mixing live.

Yes pitch automation you mean pitch curve ?
But only available on lest version if i understand well ?

Ok cool it could be an option, will check that thanks a lot !

Hey guys
I was asking thinking it could be available by defaut on S1.

I was refering to pich curves and the effect you can produce on synth by moving the jog wheel on the pitch, like a detune of the pitch. I want that on S1 or in the most simplest way to alter any audio i want and apply it thrue an automation.

(i really have to understand how to answer all with once post loool sorry)

It's possible since v8.1:

But i would prefer the porta cassette console, cause i think it's more freedom and you don't need to render a file and can use it one the whole track or just a bus to effect some submixes on rising section, a minibreak or a transition
and so one:

Pitch curve can be drawn, but thats not automation. Thats more like clip gain which is drawn in and thats it. Automation is by means of mapping the pich parameter you're looking for on your instrument, and having automation over it. For example, like a whammy (tremelo) bar on a guitar. The Porta Cassette has a pitch control only its very subtle, and somewhat lofi (low fidelity). That control can easily be automated. Not sure if thats what the OP had in mind.
No need to answer. Just noting possibilities.
cheers. .

Grace can you give us more information of your scenario please? I think it's best to know what exactly you're working on and what you're going to archive.

 

[Grace de Richebourg]

I have no intention to upgrade yet as i am always scared to find projects who cant open properly on the new version.
So pitch curve is not for me right now but sample one trick and porta cassette seems to be faisable so i will try this quickly.
Thanks a lot for your help guys, very appreciated !!
