Spectral Tuner

Keymap Pro offers several pitch-detection based automapping function. However, sometimes additional flexibility might be useful. The Spectral tuner offers a completely new and innovative way to set the proper rootnote, tune and finetune settings for your zones, and you can pick the “best tuning” candidates in a highly interactive audio/visual graphical spectrum view.

The spectral tuner can be used over a selection of zones both from the Instrument editor  or the Resources Window. Once the Spectral Tuner opens, you are shown a panel with three main areas: the zones table, the root note candidates, and the spectrum view.

At the core of the spectral tuner there is a spectrum analyzer which analyzes each of the selected zones in 16 different positions along the whole sample length, and displays the spectral peaks . 

For each zone in the zones table you can select among a list of root notes candidates computed automatically from the spectrum analysis, sorted by relative power.

The spectrum analysis view (and associate root note candidates) can be moved across the whole length of the selected zone in 16 steps, so that it's possible to skip the (usually pitch altered) attack of plucked sounds, or focus on sections where the pitch is steady, or simply look at the evolution of the spectrum across the sample length.

An integrated tuning fork (a sinewave generator) is synchronized to the current tuning choice so that you can optionally also hear the choosed tuning mixed with the sample, in order to get aural confirmation of the new tuning.
