… 1) ‘quantization off’ does not/will not result in ‘chromatic harmonizing’. ie, the key/scales are ‘always on’ …
And there are some advantages to be mined there. And one big reason I always check tuning accuracy with the on-board tuner (whether or not that applies).
And 2) this…
… quantizes this note to the next scale degree…
Also of (my) interest: where the transition threshold lies. The Snap point between allowable pitch deviation / vibrato and the next scale degree. I imagine usually somewhere around a quarter-tone, with the Whole Tone scale being one obvious exception. The transition rate appears to remain the same (hard Autotune).
… Eventide’s top shelf pitch tracking combined with the ability to drop a Scala file onto a ‘scale’ param knob in Control (or via gen~) and let the non-western & microtonal fun begin …
I’ll always jump on this bandwagon. Granted, easier to implement in synthesizers. So much you can do, even using ‘normal’ intervals. Sell it as ‘per-note detuning’, and the historical accuracy & exotica sneak in through the back door.
