Pitch

Pitch represents the sung fundamental-frequency contour through time. Written notes provide stepped pitch targets, but the rendered pitch line is continuous: it includes transitions, expressive movement, vibrato, and the effects of enabled pitch processors.

Figure 1. Pitch mode compares written notes with the latest rendered pitch line.

Screen index

Component	Meaning
Score pitch	The written note pitch that provides the musical target.
Pitch line	The latest rendered sung contour displayed across time.
Pitch expression	Note-level offsets that shape the contour between the note’s start and end.
Note vibrato	Vibrato stored on one note as part of its authored expression.
Processor layer	A shipped or installed package that modifies the pitch result.
Inspector	Presents note expression and processor parameters for the active voice.

Pitch expression

The Curve (cents) fields define the pitch offset at the beginning and end of the selected note. Positive values raise the contour; negative values lower it. The curve is relative to the existing sung pitch rather than a replacement for the note’s written pitch.

Note vibrato belongs to the selected note. Its depth is measured in cents, its rate in hertz, and its delay and fade are relative note-position controls. This note-level vibrato is distinct from the shipped Vibrato generator, which acts as a processor layer.

Operations

Condition	Action	Result	User consequence
No current pitch line is available.	Bake the voice.	Pitch mode loads the contour from the completed bake.	Evaluate expression only after the line represents the current score.
A note needs a directed rise or fall.	Change the start or end Curve (cents) value.	The note receives a relative pitch-expression curve.	Bake again to hear the revised contour.
One note needs periodic variation.	Enable its note vibrato and set depth, rate, delay, and fade.	Vibrato is attached to that note.	Other notes remain unchanged.
A broader contour behavior is required.	Adjust an enabled processor layer.	The processor parameters are saved for the voice.	The next bake applies the layer in the documented processor order.
The result becomes exaggerated.	Reduce the responsible expression or processor amount.	Its contribution moves toward neutral.	Compare with a fresh bake rather than the previous audio.
