Flex Pitch algorithm and parameters
Flex Pitch is a track-based setting that determines how the pitch of your audio material will be
altered. The algorithm comes with two parameters, located in the Track inspector.
Flex options are only available in the Track inspector when Show Advanced Tools is selected
in the Advanced preferences pane.

Flex parameters
Note: When you choose a flex algorithm for a track, the Freeze Mode parameter in the Track
inspector switches from Pre Fader to Source Only. This freezes the track signal without any effects
plug-ins. For details, see
Freeze tracks .

m Choose Flex Pitch from the Flex pop-up menu.
Flex Pitch includes the following parameters:
•
Formant Track: Determines the interval at which formants are tracked along the signal.
•
Formant Shift: Determines how formants adjust to pitch shifts. When set to 0, formants are
adjusted together with pitch shifts.
Edit the pitch of audio in the Audio Track Editor
When you choose Flex Pitch for a track in the Audio Track Editor, any sections of audio on that
track that are identified as individual notes are displayed like notes in the Piano Roll Editor. In
the Audio Track Editor, you can edit the pitch, time position, and length of notes in much the
same way as you would in the Piano Roll Editor. You can also cut notes and merge multiple notes
into one.
Each individual note in the Audio Track Editor contains “hotspots,” which you can use to edit
pitch, vibrato, gain, and other parameters.
Flex Pitch is also available in the Tracks area, when Show Advanced Tools is selected in the
Advanced preferences pane.
