Method - Select from the following pitch shifting/preservation methods. NOTE: Certain methods may disable or automatically adjust the ‘Formant preservation’ settings. Affected settings appear in a lower contrast and tweaking the control has no effect.
Elastique:
e3 Generic - A ‘Default’ mode is designed to work with the widest range of input signals. As usual, experiment with other methods if you hear unwanted artifacts.
e3 Mono - Specialized for monophonic input signals such as vocals or solo instruments. Uses automatic formant preservation techniques.
Legacy Elastique:
e2 Generic (Pro default & Pro transient) - Older version of e3 Generic.
e2 Transient (Transient & Tonal) - Transient and formant preserving stretch method.
e2 Mono (Monophonic) - Older version of e3 Mono.
e2 Speech (Speech) - Optimized for spoken words. For singing, use the ‘e3 or e2 Mono’ mode).

Insert - If this switch is on the effected audio will be inserted, if it is off the sample will be mixed with the original.
Formant preservation
Using the formant section - In order to manually preserve the natural tonal quality of the sound select ‘Pro Default’ method and set the Factor crs setting to the same value of the Pitch coarse in the ‘Options’ section above. For example, if the ‘Options’ Pitch coarse setting is +5 then set the Formant envelope Pitch crs to +5.

A
56
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
What are Formants?

A
  • Formants are peaks in the frequency spectrum caused by resonances, natural frequencies of vibration, of an instrument.
  • -Trumpets, guitars, violins, drums and the human voice all have formants.
  • –The human voice is an excellent case study for the importance of formant preservation as we are particularly sensitive to vocal formants. —-Resonances of the voice stem from mouth, sinuses and throat cavities and convey information about the size, age and sex of the vocalist. —–Normally, as the pitch of the vocal chords are raised or lowered, formants change intensity while the peak frequencies stay relatively fixed.
  • —–A problem with ‘traditional’ pitch shifting of vocal recordings is that the formants transpose with pitch (itself an unnatural phenomenon) or fall outside the expected range; the ‘chipmunk’ effect is a classic example of formants shifted too high. ——-Formant preservation algorithms work by detecting the pitch of the formants in the original sound and then apply the same frequency resonances to the pitch-shifted sound, preserving the ‘natural’ quality of the voice or instrument.
57
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
Edison Formant Controls
Factor coarse

61
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
Edison Formant Controls
Copy from pitch

A

Copies the pitch value from the ‘Options’ section above. If you select this after setting the desired pitch shift in the ‘Options’ section, then the formants should be automatically preserved.
NOTE: If these controls appear to be lower contrast or ‘grayed-out’, compared to normal, it means that they are disabled for the selected Pitch Shift/Time Stretch method in the ‘Options’ section.

Action buttons

62
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
What is Convolution Reverb?

A
  • The Convolution Reverb engine in the Editor works by multiplying two audio signals in the frequency domain (in a sort of moving average).
  • -A reverb effect is obtained when an ‘impulse’ file is convolved with the original wave file.
  • –Reverb impulse files are created by recording short, sharp sounds in real spaces or through a reverb/effects unit.
  • —The recorded ‘reverberance’ is an acoustic fingerprint of the real space.
63
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison

69
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
Convolution Reverb - Impulse Resources

A

-Edison comes with many impulses, however the addictive nature of these files will mean that you will soon be looking for more.

70
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
Blur Tool

A
  • The Blur Tool works in a similar way to the Convolution Reverb, by multiplying an impulse sound (in this case, noise), with the waveform.
  • -The impulse function is cross-multiplied with the source in a moving average, to smear or ‘blur’ the sound.
  • –The multiplier function is determined by a user-selectable envelope.
  • —To retain a sound closer to the original, use narrower shaped envelopes.
71
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
Blur Tool Options
Amount

A

-Adjusts the width of the convolution window; a greater amount means more blurring.
