The Pitch Fix function can be used to “fix” the pitch of a vocal track, or create chorus parts based
on a main vocal part. An Auto Punch-in/out function is also provided which allows a specified
segment of a vocal track to be processed and replaced. Pitch Fix can be useful in the following
situations:
• Correct the pitch of slightly flat or sharp vocals.
• Correct the pitch of a specified segment or phrase of a vocal track using the Auto Punch-in/out function.
• Create a chorus part using an external MIDI keyboard to specify the pitch of the chorus part – a third
above the main vocal, for example.
• Change the key of a vocal track.

When you want to specify a segment of a
vocal track to be processed, it is necessary
to set up the Auto Punch-in/out function.
Details on setting up the Auto Punch-in/out function
can be found in steps 1 through 7 under “Auto punch-
in/out” on page 59.

will be at the center position. If you select paired tracks, the
pan of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered track chan-
nels will be spread to left and right respectively.
• The bounce-destination faders will not affect the content that
is recorded. However, the bounce-source faders specify the
volume balance that will be recorded.

• When Auto Punch-in/out is engaged, you can monitor the
bounce source track channels during playback even when not
recording.

Correcting a Vocal Track (Pitch Fix)
• If you will be using to an external MIDI keyboard to specify the pitch for vocal pitch correction or a chorus part, the MIDI OUT con-
nector of an appropriate MIDI keyboard must be connected to the AW1600 MIDI IN connector via a standard MIDI cable. In this
case the UTILITY MIDI 1 page IN PORT parameter must be set to MIDI. Keyboard connection can also be made via the USB port.
