The first of these is an integral multi-effects rack consisting of four processing slots that can have any one of six effect modules assigned to them.Įach module has two editable parameters, which are edited via an X/Y pad when a module is selected. This basic arrangement of Auto-Tune controls is as far as things go for the EFX+ edition, but it makes up for this simplification with the addition of Auto-EFX and Auto-Motion.
Retune Speed determines the rate at which incoming audio is re-tuned, while Humanize controls the way in which sustained notes are handled, avoiding the situation where fast retuning can kill off any natural vibrato in those sustained notes. The Retune Speed and Humanize controls found in Pro are also included in both Artist and EFX+ editions. You can also use the keyboard graphic – one octave in EFX+ and full-length in Artist – to further control the notes that Auto-Tune will re-tune to. The plug-ins are also compatible with the companion Auto-Key plug-in (sold separately) that analyses audio to determine its key and scale, and then distributes this data to all Auto-Tune instances running in the session. The key and scale that Auto-Tune is working to can be selected from a couple of drop-downs at the top of the windows, although here EFX+ offers a far more limited choice of scales than Artist does.Ī low-latency option is available to both plug-ins, too, which is ideal for cue mixes in the studio and for live use on stage, albeit at the cost of increased system-resource usage.

Common featuresĪt the centre of the windows of both plug-ins there’s a circular meter that displays the note that Auto-Tune is currently outputting and indicates the amount of re-tuning that’s being applied.
Antares has now wrapped this same technology into a new pair of plug-ins, Auto-Tune EFX+ and Auto-Tune Artist, which further simplify the user interface but that retain all of the Auto-Tune sound. The latest flagship version of the technology, Auto-Tune Pro, delivers that sound via a new, quick and easy interface, while retaining the classic graph view that allows for deeper pitch and time modifications.
The reason for this is, of course, that Auto-Tune’s pitch-, time- and formant-warping algorithms impart a certain timbre and tone that can be rather pleasing and that lends itself perfectly to many genres of contemporary music. Nowadays, Auto-Tune is often used even when the performer is more than capable of delivering an in-tune performance.
